<![CDATA[The Hansen-Patrick method is a third-order iterative method used to solve nonlinear equation. The method requires three evaluation of functions and has an efficiency index 31/3 » 1,4224. This study discusses a modification of the Hansen-Patrick method using the second order Taylor series. The second derivative is reduced using hyperbolic function with one parameter h. The aim of modification is to improve the convergence order of the Hansen-Patrick’s method. Based on the convergence analysis, the method has a fourth-order of convergence and envolve three evaluation of functions. So, its efficiency index is 41/3 » 1,5874. Numerical simulation is given to illustrate performance of the iterative method using six real functions. The performance of the iterative method include : a computational order of convergence, the number of iteration, evaluation of function, absolute error, and value of function, will be compared with Newton’s method, Halley’s method, Newton-Steffensen’s method, and Hansen-Patrick method. The numerical simulation shows that the performance of the method better than others]]>
