1. The value of a function f(x) at discrete points are tabulated below (Table-1). Employ Newton's
divided difference method to estimate the value of f(4.5) .

Table-1:

x 2 4 6 8
f(x) 8.6931 33.3863 73.7918 130.0794
[5]

2. Fit the data given in the Table-2 to a function of the form f ( x )=a exp(b x ) in a least square
sense and evaluate the value of f ( 6.5 ).

Table-2:

X 1 2 4 6 8 10
F(x) 3.6 4.6 7.0 10.2 16.1 24.0

3. Given: = + y 2 ; with y ( 0 ) =0 ........ (Eq.1)
dx 10

Numerically evaluate the value of y ( 0.2 )∧ y ( 0.4 ) using 4th order Runge-Kutta method. Use step size
of 0.2 Assume the constant c in the Eq. 1 to be the last two digits of your examination Roll No.
