The question from the image asks:

**"Find a root of the equation \( 2x - 3\sin x - 5 = 0 \) by Regula-Falsi Method."**

### Solution Outline:
1. **Rewrite the equation in the form of \( f(x) = 0 \)**:
   \[
   f(x) = 2x - 3\sin x - 5
   \]
   
2. **Regula-Falsi (False Position) Method** is an iterative numerical method to find the root of a function. It uses a linear interpolation to approximate the root between two guesses \( x_0 \) and \( x_1 \) where:
   \[
   f(x_0) \times f(x_1) < 0
   \]
   implying the root lies between \( x_0 \) and \( x_1 \).

3. **Iteration Formula**:
   The formula to update the estimate of the root is:
   \[
   x_2 = x_1 - \frac{f(x_1) \times (x_1 - x_0)}{f(x_1) - f(x_0)}
   \]
   where \( x_0 \) and \( x_1 \) are the current estimates, and \( f(x_0) \) and \( f(x_1) \) are the values of the function at those points.

4. **Procedure**:
   - Choose two initial guesses, \( x_0 \) and \( x_1 \), such that \( f(x_0) \) and \( f(x_1) \) have opposite signs.
   - Use the formula to compute a new estimate \( x_2 \).
   - Check if \( f(x_2) \) is close enough to zero; if not, repeat the process, replacing either \( x_0 \) or \( x_1 \) based on the sign of \( f(x_2) \).
   - Continue iterating until the desired accuracy is achieved.

### Follow-up Questions:
1. What are the key differences between the Regula-Falsi method and the Bisection method?
2. How does the convergence of the Regula-Falsi method compare to other root-finding methods?
3. In which cases would Regula-Falsi be preferred over methods like Newton-Raphson?
4. Can you explain how the choice of initial guesses affects the outcome of the Regula-Falsi method?
5. How can we ensure that the root obtained is accurate to a certain degree of precision?

### Tip:
In the Regula-Falsi method, choosing initial guesses that are closer to the root can significantly speed up convergence.
