1. Evaluate determinant D by:

a. Laplace Development if

A = 1,401

b. Pivotal Element Method if

A = 9,338
c. Chios Method

A = 22,416

2. Using power series, solve the following:

a. - y – y’’ = 0 (y= a0 cos x + a1sinx)
b. y ’’’- y’’ = 0 ( y =a0 + a1x + 2a2ex )
3. From a laboratory experiment, the following data on the table are obtained. By curve fitting give the equation which would
define the observation if y is a function x.

N x y
(No. of Trials)
1 1 3.5
2 2.5 15
3 3.75 27
4 4 32

y= -0.812 + 3.19x + 1.20x2

4. Determine the Fourier series of the function,

f(t) = a2 – t2 where -a≤ t ≤ a.

(2/3)a2 + (4a2/π2) (summation of n =0 to infinity) (-1)n+1 (1/n2) cos (nπt/a)

God bless you.
