Assignment 1 MEC500 NUMERICAL METHODS WITH APPLICATIONS

Time: 1 hour

Question
Find the roots for the function below using Bisection and Newton-Raphson methods:

Use t t and t for Bisection method whereas t for Newton-

Raphson method.

Task:

1. Build the iteration process in Excel format. (CO4)

2. Display the error analysis (a) using stoppage error of 0.05% (CO4)

3. Organize your computational work in a proper manner. (CO4)

4. Demonstrate the comparison of both numerical methods in results,

discussion and conclusion. (CO2)

5. Save file with the format name: Assignment1_MEC500_studentfullname

6. Send the file to koay@ppinang.uitm.edu.my at 11.00am. (Student who send

it after 11.05am will be considered late, mark deduction applied. Student
who send it after 11.30am will not be marked, zero mark)
