      <abstract>
        <p>The quadratically convergent Newton method is a fundamental and significant approach for solving one-variable functions. In order to solve a single minimization issue, we deduce a novel secant type approach in this study that is based on estimating the second derivative information. The convergence of the novel secant type iterative approach is of order two. The provided application examples show that the suggested technique outperforms the Newton method in terms of numerical properties.</p>
