Homework No. 5
Using Newton’s method for nonlinear systems, solve the following system of nonlinear
equations:
x2  y2  4
x2  y2  1
As an initial guess, take ( x0 , y0 )  (1.6,1.2) . Note the number of iterations required for
convergence. Use the same tolerance criterion for relative error estimate taken earlier. The
true roots are given by (  2.5,  1.5) . Comment on your results and the speed of
convergence.
