Test 1 NUM

This document is a test question paper for the course Numerical Methods 2 from the Namibia University of Science and Technology. It consists of 2 pages with 5 questions. Question 1 has 2 parts asking to find the best fitting function to data points and establish a Padé approximation. Question 2 has 3 parts defining Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind, finding specific polynomials, and using a result to show that Chebyshev polynomials of different degrees are orthogonal. The instructions specify answering all questions clearly and neatly within the 2 hour time limit of 65 marks.
