"""
Find a root of a scalar function.
Parameters
----------
f : callable
A function to find a root of.
args : tuple, optional
Extra arguments passed to the objective function and its derivative(s).
method : str, optional
Type of solver. Should be one of
- 'bisect' :ref:`(see here) <optimize.root_scalar-bisect>`
- 'brentq' :ref:`(see here) <optimize.root_scalar-brentq>`
- 'brenth' :ref:`(see here) <optimize.root_scalar-brenth>`
- 'ridder' :ref:`(see here) <optimize.root_scalar-ridder>`
- 'toms748' :ref:`(see here) <optimize.root_scalar-toms748>`
- 'newton' :ref:`(see here) <optimize.root_scalar-newton>`
- 'secant' :ref:`(see here) <optimize.root_scalar-secant>`
- 'halley' :ref:`(see here) <optimize.root_scalar-halley>`
bracket: A sequence of 2 floats, optional
An interval bracketing a root. `f(x, *args)` must have different
signs at the two endpoints.
x0 : float, optional
Initial guess.
x1 : float, optional
A second guess.
fprime : bool or callable, optional
If `fprime` is a boolean and is True, `f` is assumed to return the
value of the objective function and of the derivative.
`fprime` can also be a callable returning the derivative of `f`. In
this case, it must accept the same arguments as `f`.
fprime2 : bool or callable, optional
If `fprime2` is a boolean and is True, `f` is assumed to return the
value of the objective function and of the
first and second derivatives.
`fprime2` can also be a callable returning the second derivative of `f`.
In this case, it must accept the same arguments as `f`.
xtol : float, optional
Tolerance (absolute) for termination.
rtol : float, optional
Tolerance (relative) for termination.
maxiter : int, optional
Maximum number of iterations.
options : dict, optional
A dictionary of solver options. E.g. ``k``, see
:obj:`show_options()` for details.
Returns
-------
sol : RootResults
The solution represented as a ``RootResults`` object.
Important attributes are: ``root`` the solution , ``converged`` a
boolean flag indicating if the algorithm exited successfully and
``flag`` which describes the cause of the termination. See
`RootResults` for a description of other attributes.

--------
show_options : Additional options accepted by the solvers
root : Find a root of a vector function.
Notes
-----
This section describes the available solvers that can be selected by the
'method' parameter.
The default is to use the best method available for the situation
presented.
If a bracket is provided, it may use one of the bracketing methods.
If a derivative and an initial value are specified, it may
select one of the derivative-based methods.
If no method is judged applicable, it will raise an Exception.
Examples
--------
Find the root of a simple cubic
>>> from scipy import optimize
>>> def f(x):
... return (x**3 - 1) # only one real root at x = 1
>>> def fprime(x):
... return 3*x**2
The `brentq` method takes as input a bracket
>>> sol = optimize.root_scalar(f, bracket=[0, 3], method='brentq')
>>> sol.root, sol.iterations, sol.function_calls
(1.0, 10, 11)
The `newton` method takes as input a single point and uses the derivative(s)
>>> sol = optimize.root_scalar(f, x0=0.2, fprime=fprime, method='newton')
>>> sol.root, sol.iterations, sol.function_calls
(1.0, 11, 22)
The function can provide the value and derivative(s) in a single call.
>>> def f_p_pp(x):
... return (x**3 - 1), 3*x**2, 6*x
>>> sol = optimize.root_scalar(f_p_pp, x0=0.2, fprime=True, method='newton')
>>> sol.root, sol.iterations, sol.function_calls
(1.0, 11, 11)
>>> sol = optimize.root_scalar(f_p_pp, x0=0.2, fprime=True, fprime2=True, method='halley')
>>> sol.root, sol.iterations, sol.function_calls
(1.0, 7, 8)
