1. Use Bisection method to find a bound for the number of iterations needed to achieve an
approximation with accuracy 10 to the solution of   −  − 1 = 0 lying in the
interval
1, 2 and also find an approximation to the root with this degree of accuracy.
2. The function  =   −   − 2 has a zero on the interval

to three significant digits using Newton-Raphson Method.
3. Use Secant method and method of Regula-Falsi to find the solution to within 10 for the
function  = 2 + 3 cos  −   for 0 ≤  ≤ 1 .
4. Given that the equation  . = 69 has a root between 5 and 8. Use the method of Regula-
