MTH603 Assignment 1 Solution Spring 2021 Question NO 1

The document provides the solution to two questions using the Newton-Raphson method to find roots of equations. For question 1, the method is applied to find the root of x3 + 2x2 +10x - 20 = 0, determining the root to be 1.3688 after three iterations. For question 2, the initial bracket containing the root is determined for the equation x3 - x - 11 = 0 by evaluating the function at different x values and finding where the sign changes, identifying the bracket as between 2 and 2.25.

MTH603 Assignment 1 Solution Spring 2021
Question NO 1
Find a root of the given equation using Newton-Raphson Method Keep values
correct to four decimal places.

Solution
x3  2x2 10x - 20 = 0
Take intial value x 0 = 1.5
x3  2x2 10x - 20 = 0
f (x)  x3  2x2 10x - 20
d/dx(x3  2x2 10x - 20)
= 3x2  4x 10
f ' (x)  3x2  4x 10
x0  1.3736

Iteration (1)
f (x0 )  f (1.5)  2.875
f '(x 0)  f '(1.5)  22.75
x  x  f (x ) / f '(x )
1 0 0 1

x1  1.3736

Iteration (2)
f (x1 )  f (1.3736)  0.1018
f ' (x1 )  f '(1.3736)  21.1551
x  x  f (x ) / f '(x )
2 1 1 1

x2  1.3688

Iteration (3)
f (x2 )  f (1.3688)  0.0001
f ' (x2 ) f '(1.3688)  21.0962

x  x  f (x ) / f '(x )
3 2 2 2

x3  1.3688

Hence the calculated root of the given equation using Newton-Rophson Megthod Upto four decimal
places is 1.3688
Question NO 2
Identify the intitial bracket (x0 , x1 ) First

Solution
x 0 1 2 3
F(x) -11 -11 -5 -13

Given
x3  x 11  0
f (x)  x3  x 11

f (2)  5  0 and f (3) 13 


0 Now root lie btween 2 and
3
(iteration 1)
f (2)  5  0 and f (3) 13  0
x0  2  3 / 2  2.5
f (x0 )  f (2.5)  2.215  0

(iteration 2)
f (2)  5  0 and f (2.5)  2.125  0
x1  2  2.5 / 2  2.25
f (x1 )  f (2.5)  1.8594  0
Hence root lies between 2 and 2.25

(iteration 3)
f (2.25)  1.8594  0
f (2.25)  2.125  0
Now root lie between 2.25 and 2.50
x2  2.25 +2.5 / 2 = 2.375
