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.
