approximate error analysis. Compute your answer with tolerance error of
0.0001% and determine the absolute true percent relative error for each of the
iteration.

Q2 Predict the root of

𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥𝑒 3 + 2𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 − 𝐵

by using fixed-point iteration with initial guess of 0.2 and tolerance

0.0001%. B is your ID last second digit. (10 m)

Q3 Compute the unknowns for the following set of equations

−22𝑥1 − 12𝑥2 + 29𝑥3 = 45

51𝑥1 − 41𝑥2 − 35𝑥3 = 76

−98𝑥1 + 32𝑥2 − 𝐶𝑥3 = 32

by using Gauss-Jordan Elimination with partial pivoting method. (10 m)

C is your ID last digit.
