TOPIC1-SOLUTION OF ALGEBRAIC AND TRANSCENDENTAL EQUATIONS
An equation of the form where the coefficients are real numbers and is called Algebraic
Equation.
Ex:
Ex: l
■ This is the most powerful root extraction method to find solution of Algebraic and
Transcendental Equations
■ This is the fastest convergence method, but requires analytical computation of the
derivative of function
Iterative formula or Recursive algorithm
Note: The error at each step is proportional to the square of the previous error and
as such the convergence is quadratic
■
Convergence condition for N – R method
Advantage
When is very large, (i.e.) when the slope is large, then ‘h’ will be calculated with
great rapidly and very little labour
■ Let
be an approximate root of the equation
If is better approximation than then
Similarly,
In general,
ere is better approximation .
■ This method is also known as Method of tangents
Solution: Let
N R formula:
i.e.
, ,1,2,……… -------------------(1)
Take initial approximation as
First approximation(Put and in (1))
Clearly the values of obtained in the last two approximations are identically equal up to
three decimal places.
From last approximation, the required root
Clearly the values of obtained in the last two approximations are identically equal up to
four decimal places.
From last approximation, the required root
