TUTORIAL 1

All calculation in 3 decimal places with 0.005 c = .

Bisection method
Consider 3 1 0
x
xe = and given intervals [-1,0], [0,1] and [1,2].
(a) Use intermediate value theorem to determine which interval contained root for the function.
(b) Hence, find root for the function by using bisection method. (Ans: 0.258)

Secant method
Given
2
3
x
x e = .
(a) By using secant method, find the positive root in interval [0,1]. (Ans: 0.911)
(b) If the exact value for positive root is 0.91, find relative error of your calculation. (Ans: 0.001)

Newton-Raphson method
Given
3 2
3 3 0 x x x + = .
(a) Sketch the function.
(b) By using Newton-Raphson method, find the positive root of the function. (Ans: 1.732)

Application
A through of length L has a cross section in the shape of a semicircle with radius r (see the accompanying
figure). When filled with water to within a distance h of the top, the volume, V, of water is
