PROFESSOR: _____________________________ SECTION: ______________

Solve the following problems. Direct substitution to the calculator is not allowed. Show your
solutions logically. Use another sheet.

1. The Newton-Raphson Method formula for finding the square root of a real number R
from equation x2 – R = 0 is: (5 points)

2. The next iterative value of the root of x2 – 4 = 0 using the Newton-Raphson method, if
the initial guess is 3, is? (5 points)

3. The root of the equation f(x) = 0 is found by using the Newton-Raphson Method. The
initial estimate of the root is x0 = 3, f(3) = 5. The angle the line tangent to the function f(x)
makes at x = 3 is 570 with respect to the x-axis. The next estimate of the root x1 most
nearly is ? (8 points)

4. The root of x3 = 4 is found by using the Newton-Raphson method. The successive


iterative values of the root are given in the table below.

Iterative Number Value of Root


0 2.0000
1 1.6667
2 1.5911
3 1.5874
4 1.5874

The iteration number at which I would first trust at least two significant digits in the
answer is? (12 points)

5. A quadratic equation x2 – 4x + 4 = 0 is defined with an initial guess of 3 and 2.5. Find the
approximated value of the root using the secant method. (5 points)

6. The equation f(x) is given as x2 – 4 = 0. Considering the initial approximation at x = 6


then, the value of the next approximation correct up to 2 decimal places is given as (5
points)

7. Find the positive root of the equation 3x – cos x – 1 using the Regula Falsi Method and
correct up to 4 decimal places. (15 points)

8. Find the positive root of the equation 4x = ex using the Regula Falsi method and correct
up to 4 decimal places (15 points).

9. Using the Bisection Method find the root of 3x2 = 5x + 2 in the interval [0, 3] (20 points)
