Root Finding

Final Exam 1999S


1. Use Newton's method to find a root of the following equation. Start at x=2.

x3 - 70= 0

7. Solve the following set of linear equations using Gauss-Seidel

-x+2y+4z = 10
x+3y+2z = 11
2x+ y = 5

Hour Exam 2000S


2) Use Newton's Method to find the root for x3 - 2x2 +4x= 41
Make your initial guess x=1. Perform at least one iteration.

3) Solve by the Gauss-Seidel Method. Perform at least one complete iteration.


2y + 3z = -1
2x + y = 12
-x +5y + 2z = -6

4) Use Secant Method to find the root for ln (x) + x3 = 400.


Use initial guesses of x1=1 and x2 =2. Show one iteration and identify x3.

5) Solve the following set of linear equations using Gauss-Jordan elimination. You need only show
enough work to establish the method. Be clear enough that a college freshman could finish your
work from your description.
x + 3y + 2z = 11
2x + y = 6
-x + 2y + 5z = 9

6) Solve for one root by one-point iteration. Show enough iterations to determine if the solution is
converging or diverging. Start at x = 2.
