Program: B.Tech (EEE) Class: II year II Semester
Course Code: MA282 Title: Numerical Methods and Statistics
1. Obtain a root, correct upto four decimal places, of each of the following equations using
the bisection method
(a) x3 − 4x − 9 = 0
(b) x2 + x − cos x = 0
(c) 5x log10 x − 6 = 0
2. Use the method of false position to find a real root, correct to four decimal places, of
following equations:
(a) x3 + x2 + x + 7 = 0
(b) x = 3e−x
(c) x tan x + 1 = 0
3. Compute, to four decimal places, the root between 1 and 2 of the equation
x3 − 2x2 + 3x − 5 = 0
4. Explain the Newton-Raphson method to compute a real root of the equation f (x) = 0
and find the condition of convergence. Hence find a non-zero root of equation x2 +
4 sin x = 0.
5. Use the the Newton-Raphson method to obtain a root, correct to three decimal places,
of each of the following equations
(a) xsin 2 − 4 = 0
