Note: Solve all the questions with complete explanation.

Q.1: Discuss the Gauss’s forward difference formula for 2𝑛 + 1 (odd) and 2𝑛 (even) arguments
(points) with examples.

Q.2: Define inverse interpolation formulas based on Lagrange’s formula and Newton forward’s
formula. Also, use the inverse interpolation to find a root of the given equation 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 + 1 = 0.

Q.3: Explain the Trapezoidal Rule, Simpson’s 1/3 rule and Simpson’s 3/8 rule with their examples.

Q.4: Use Euler’s method to find the value of 𝑦(0.1) when ℎ = 0.05 for the differential equation
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
= 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 , 𝑦(0) = 1.

Also, use Modified Euler’s method to find the value of 𝑦(0.1) with ℎ = 0.1 for the differential
equation
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
= 𝑥 2 − 𝑦, 𝑦(0) = 1.

Q.5: Find the values of 𝑦(0.1) for the following second order differential equation by fourth-order
Runge-Kutta method.

2 𝑦 ′′ (𝑥) − 5 𝑦 ′ (𝑥) − 3 𝑦(𝑥) = 45 𝑒 2𝑥 , with 𝑦(0) = 2, 𝑦 ′ (0) = 1.
