1) Solve for the value of that maximize the given function using golden-section search. Employ initial
guesses of

3) Pressure measurements are taken at certain points behind an airfoil over time. These data best fit the
curve = 6 cos 1.5sin from x = 0 to 6 s. Use four iterations of golden search method to find the
minimum pressure. Set
