7. (a) Suppose that /(x), /(x j, and /(x) are easily computable.
(i) Derive in algorithm like Newton-Raphson's method that uses three terms in the
Taylor series. The algorithm should take as input an approximation to the root and
(6+9)
produce as output a better approximation to the root.
(ii) Show that the method is cubically convergent.
(b) In many engineering problems, a random variable cannot have negative values due to
the physical aspects of the problem. In this situation, modeling the variable as lognormal
(i.e., considering the natural logarithm of the variable X) is more approximate,
automatically eliminating the possibility of negative values. The probability density
function of a lognormal variable is given by

Given: P = 50 kN, D = 100 mm, df= 66 mm, dh = 20 mm, I = 10 mm.
Design Decisions: The plate will be made of a relatively brittle metallic alloy, so you
should consider stress concentration.
