Using the Horner’s method find the values of f(4) and f'(4) for the polynomial
f(x) = x^4 +2x^3 −x^2 +1.
From the data
x 1 1.5 2 2.5 3
f(x) 1 .5 1.3 .8 1.5
interpolate the value of f(2.8) using the Newton’s backward difference formula.
Find a root of the equation 3x^3+10x^2+10x+7 = 0 which is close to −2.0, using
the Berge -Vieta method. Perform two iterations of the method.
Consider the following data
x 1.0 1.3 1.6 1.9 2.2
f(x) 0.76519 0.62008 0.45540 0.28181 0.11036
Use stirling’s formula to approximate f(1.5) with x0 = 1.6
Compute integral 0 to 4, f(x)dx using the Romberg integral technique on the trapezoidal integrals evaluated by the trapezoidal rule taking h=1 and h=0.5.The tabulated values are given below.
x 0 0.5 1 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0
f(x) 1 4 3 2 2.5 2.9 3.6 4 1.8
From the values of f(x) = xex given in the table
x 1.8 1.9 2.0 2.1 2.2
f(x) 10.8894 12.7032 14.7787 17.1489 19.8550
find f
00(2.0) using the central difference formula of O(h
2
) for h = 0.1 and h = 0.2.
Calculate T.E. and actual error.
Taking the endpoints of the last interval obtained in f(x) = x^3−5x^2 +1 = 0 as the initial
approximations, perform two iterations of the secant method to approximate the
root.
Find the interval of unit length that contains the smallest positive root of the
equation f(x) = x
3 −5x
2 +1 = 0. Starting with this interval, find an interval of
length 0.05 or less that contains the root, by Bisection method.
