PHC-101: Computer Programming

Exercise Problems 6

Solve the following exercises and submit your solutions in a single ipynb file named
Your-Enrollment-No-A6.ipynb. Please separate different exercises by inserting a text cell
and writing Exercise 1, Exercise 2, etc.
1. Write a function to find the root of an equation using the secant method.
2. Using the above code find the root of the following functions. (a) cos(x) − x, (b)
exp(x) − 3, (c) exp(−x) − x.
3. Write a function to find the root of a nonlinear equation using the Newton-Raphson
method.
4. Find the root of the function f (x) = x3 − x − 2 using the Newton-Raphson and the
secant methods. Compare the number of iterations.
5. Write a function to convert a system of linear equations to a lower triangular system.
Use this to determine A, B, C, D in the following system.
A + 2B + 3C + D = 10
2A + 3B + C + 4D = 11
3A + B + 2C + 2D = 13
4A + 2B + 3C + 3D = 15

6. Write a function to solve a system of linear equations using the Gauss-elimination


method. Solve the following system of linear equations.
6A + 2B − 1C − 9D = 75
−6A − 2B − 7C + 0D = −11
4A − B − C + 6D = −51
−4A − 2B + 5C + 6D = −47

7. Create a function to calculate the derivative of the functions using forward difference
method.
8. Using the above code find the derivative of (a) sin(x) exp(x) at x = π/2 (b) tan(x2 )
at x = 3π/4. Use h = 10−1 and h = 10−3 and find the errors in derivatives.
9. Find the derivatives in the above exercise using the backward and central difference
methods. Compare the errors from different methods.
10. Solve dy/dx = x for x ∈ [−4, 4] with y(x = −4) = 8 using the Forward Euler, RK2
and RK4 methods. Plot the curves y(x) found using these methods and compare
with the analytical solution.

(b) = 5x + 3y, x(0) = 2, y(0) = 1

13. Create a function to determine the coefficients of the Least-Squares line for the set
of data points {xi , yi } = (−2, 1), (−1, 2), (0, 3), (1, 3), (2, 4).

14. Create a function to find the coefficients of a powerlaw y = AxB , which is the best
approximation to the dataset {xi , yi } = (108 , 23.4), (3 × 108 , 31.3), (109 , 42.5), (3 ×
109 , 59.1), (1010 , 80.2). Plot the dataset and the found powerlaw. Use logarithmic
scale for both the axes.
