MIDTERM PRACTICE PROBLEMS

A. TAYLOR AND MACLAURIN SERIES

1. f(x) = cos(4x) at x = 0
2. f(x) = sin(3x) at x = 0
3. f(x) = 𝑒 2𝑥 at x = 2
4. f(x) = ln(x+1) at x = 0
𝜋
5. f(x) = cos(x) at x =
2

B. ROOTS OF EQUATIONS

1. Use Bisection Method to find the roots of the functions below with relative
error (Er) less than or equal to 0.01

a. f(x) = x2 – 7 ; xl = -3 and xu = -2

3𝑥 2 tan⁡(x)
b. f(x) = ; xl = 21 and xu = 23
1−𝑥 2

2. Use Regula Falsi (False Position) Method to determine the root of the
function below with percentage error less than or equal to 1%.

f(x) = 𝑒 2𝑥 – x2; xl = -1 and xu = 0

3. Determine the root of the function below using Newton – Raphson Method
with allowable relative error of 0.01. (Calculator must be in radian)
f(x) = 𝑒 2𝑥 + sin(x) – 2

4. Use Secant Method to find the root of the given function below with allowable
relative error of 0.01.

f(x) = 𝑒 𝑥 - √𝑥 + 1 -2
