Answer all questions.

Q1
(a)
i) Using the power series expansion for log e 1  x  , calculate log e 1.1 accurate to
three decimal places.
ii) The criterion for a pass in a certain exam is that the average mark should not be
less than 40 marks. Is a candidate who gets an average of 39.5 entitled for a
pass? Argue your case. If the mark 40 in the criterion is changed to 40.0, what
happens to the particular candidate?

iii) Given that 6.1  2.4698 , work with two decimal digits to calculate 1 to
6.1  2
highest accuracy possible.

(b) Tabulate the difference table for f ( x)  e x with h  0.2 . Select x0  0.6 and
find the value of f (0.63)  e 0.63 by using Newton’s forward formula.
