ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS


QUESTION 1
a)

3
Given that f(x) = - x2-4x-

2sin x is defined on the interval (-71, n).

a)

Show that f has at least one root in the given interval.

b)

Show that p = 0 is a root of f.

(5 marks)
(3 marks)
b)

i)

Given f (x) = 0 in an interval [a,b]. Derive the Newton-Raphson iteration


method to determine the first approximation of the root of f. Hence, deduce
the Newton-Raphson iteration formula for approximating the root of f.
(5 marks)

ii)

Given f (x) =cos(x). Use Newton-Raphson method to find the approximate


root of f(x) = 0 in the interval [0, 2]. Use the initial guess, x0 = 1. Give your
answer correct to five decimal places.

QUESTION 3
a)

Find a least squares line to approximate the continuous function y = x + x2 on the


interval [0,2].
(11 marks)

b)

A certain material is tested for cyclic fatigue failure whereby a stress measured in
MPa, is applied to the material. The cycles count, N needed to cause failure is
observed and the results are tabulated as shown below. A log-log plot of stress
versus cycles count indicates a linear relationship of the data trend. Use least
squares approach to determine the line of best fit for the given data.
