TUTORIAL 1 – CHAPTER 1

SOLUTION
QUESTION 1

(a)

True value: f(3) = 554

zero order:

f (3)  f (1)  62

554  (62)
t   100 %  111 .191 %
554

first order:

f (3)  62  f ' (1)(3  1)  62  70(2)  78  t  85.921 %

second order:

f " (1) 138


f (3)  78  (3  1) 2  78  4  354  t  36.101 %
2 2
third order:

f (3) (1) 150


f (3)  354  (3  1) 3  354  8  554  t  0%
6 6
Thus, the third-order result is perfect because the original function is a third-order polynomial.

(b)

True value:

f ' ( x)  75 x 2  12 x  7

f ' (2)  75(2) 2  12(2)  7  283

function values:

xi–1 = 1.8 f(xi–1) = 50.96

xi = 2 f(xi) = 102

xi+1 = 2.2 f(xi+1) = 164.56

forward:

164 .56  102 283  312.8


f ' (2)   312 .8 t   100 %  10.53%
0.2 283

backward:

102  50.96 283  255.2


f ' (2)   255 .2 t   100 %  9.823 %
0.2 283
centered:

164 .56  50.96 283  284


f ' (2)   284 t   100 %  0.353 %
2(0.2) 283

QUESTION 2
