Question One

Explain circular referencing and provide an example. (4)

Question Two

2.1 Use manual iteration (i.e. inserting values) to compute the tenth iteration for the
function f(x) = sinx +cosx. Use an initial value of 1 for x. Plot a X-Y scatter plot of the
iterations.
(15)

2.2 Use the iteration function to compute the tenth iteration and a maximum change of
0.001. (5)

Question Three (10)

Consider the function y=x.ex . Manually compute y values for x = 1 to x = 1.8 with 0.1
increments. (5)
Use goal seek to compute the value of x for y=10. (5)

Question Four (10)

Use solver to solve for 𝑥:
4.1 ln(1+𝑥 2 ) = 𝑒 −𝑥 (5)

4.2 𝑒 𝑥 = √𝑥 + 2 (5)

Question Five (5)

Use goal seek to determine the height of liquid in a spherical tank with a 2m radius if the
volume of liquid is 10m3.
𝜋ℎ2 (3𝑟−ℎ)
Hint: 𝑉 = where h is the height of liquid. (5)
