ENGG 414: Numerical Methods

Activity No.1
Solving Roots of Equations and Systems of Linear Equations
using MS Excel

Direction: Solve the following problems using MS Excel. Cell formulas will
be checked. Use 1 sheet for each method, and rename the sheets
accordingly.
1. Determine the real roots of the function 𝒇(𝒙) = −3𝟓 + 14𝟐𝒙 − 200𝒙𝟐 + 8𝟒𝒙𝟑 −
10𝒙𝟒 + 1.3𝒙𝟓 using graphical method. Consider an increment of 0.05 per initial
values to be substituted, starting from 0.
2. Find the positive real root of 𝒇(𝒙) = −3.5𝒙𝟐 + 23.5𝒙𝟑 – 𝟐9𝒙 − 45 using bisection
method. Consider 𝑥𝑙 = -1, 𝑥𝑢 = 3, and the approximate error be within

∈𝑎 = 0.005%.
3. Using false position method, find the root of 𝒇(𝒙) = 5𝒙 – 𝟏6.8𝒙𝟐 + 23.9𝒙3 −9.6
Use 𝑥𝑙 = 4, 𝑥𝑢 = 8, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∈𝑎 = 0.005%.
4. Using simple fixed-point iteration, find the root of the function 𝒇(𝒙) = −3𝒙𝟔 − 2.2
𝒙5 +1𝟓.8𝒙𝟒 + 2𝟎𝒙 + 4 with an initial value of 𝑥0 = 0. Perform 10 iterations.
5. Use Newton-Raphson Method to find the roots of the equation 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙5 −
30𝒙4 + 95𝒙3 − 150𝒙2 + 200𝒙 + 75. Let 𝑥0 =0.25 and ∈𝑎 = 0.005%
6. Verify if 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙4 − 5𝒙3+10𝒙2 -25𝒙 has a double root at 𝑥 =3. Use 𝑥0 = 4 as the
initial condition.
7. Use secant method in finding the root of 𝒇(𝒙) = −3 + 6𝒙 – 5.3𝒙𝟐 + 1.2𝒙𝟑.
Consider the given initial values: 𝑥−1 =-2, 𝑥0 = 1, ∈𝑎 = 0.005%.

8. For the function 𝑓(𝒙) = 3𝒙𝟑 – 20.8𝒙𝟐 + 25.7𝒙 – 9.5, find its roots using modified
secant method. Let 𝑥0 = 4, 𝛿 = 0.01 and perform 10 iterations.
9. Solve for the values of a, b, c, & d in the following System of Linear Equations
using Gaussian Elimination and Gauss-Jordan Method.

4𝑎 + 6𝑏 + 8𝑐 – 9d = −15
9𝑎 + 11𝑏 +12𝑐 + 13𝑑 = 205
13𝑎 + 19𝑏 -17𝑐 + 20𝑑 = 455
15𝑎 + 22𝑏 + 25𝑐 + 29𝑑 = 588

10. Use the Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel Method to solve the following System of
Linear Equations. Use 𝑥1 = 0, 𝑥2 = 0, 𝑥3 = 0. Perform 10 iterations.

4𝑥1 − 0.2𝑥2 − 0.3𝑥3 = 12.7

0.2𝑥1 + 8𝑥2 − 0.5𝑥3 = −22.4

0.5𝑥1 + 0.3𝑥2 + 11𝑥3 = 82.5
