Writing coursework, especially on a topic like Numerical Methods C3, can be challenging for many

students. This type of coursework typically requires a deep understanding of mathematical concepts
and the ability to apply numerical methods to solve problems. Here are some reasons why it can be
difficult:

1. Complexity of Numerical Methods: Numerical methods often involve intricate algorithms


and mathematical techniques. Implementing these methods and explaining the steps in a clear
and concise manner can be challenging for students who may not be familiar with the
intricacies.
2. Mathematical Understanding: A strong grasp of advanced mathematical concepts is crucial
for numerical methods coursework. Students may find it challenging to apply these concepts
accurately and appropriately to solve problems.
3. Programming Skills: Numerical methods coursework may involve coding and implementing
algorithms using programming languages. Students who are not proficient in coding may
struggle with this aspect of the coursework.
4. Time-Consuming: Numerical methods coursework can be time-consuming due to the need
for careful calculations, programming, and thorough documentation. Managing time
effectively can be challenging, especially when students have other academic commitments.

Considering these challenges, seeking assistance from external sources like ⇒ HelpWriting.net ⇔
can be a viable option. Such services often provide support in the form of custom-written
coursework, which can be a valuable resource for students facing difficulties. However, it's important
for students to use these services responsibly and ensure that they are not violating any academic
integrity policies set by their institutions.

Compared to the change of sign method both are generally more easy to use as once the initial
formula has been entered it is very quick and simple to do the iterations many times. It must still be
rearranged manually though, and a large proportion of rearrangements fail. Out of the three, some
are faster at converging to the root that others and some are easier to use than others, especially with
the recent technology made available to everyone. This makes it very easy to work out the repetitive
part of the method and makes the speed of convergence much faster. However, this method is very
tiresome to calculate by hand and the tiniest mistake can result in a wrong answer. The copy of the
spreadsheet where the formula was also displayed was also shown. (See page 6 and 7). OR did they
add the word negative in there so the re-arrangement of the equation would be correct so you don't
take the square root of a negative number? (edited 9 years ago) 0 Report Reply Reply 3 9 years ago
Smaug123 15 Original post by Inevitable I read that it is usually best to re-arrange by having the
dominant term on it's own first and go from there. Using Autograph is much, much simpler as you
have the ability to zoom in on the point where the signs change, i.e. the point on the X-axis, and can
do so to many places. The value of g(x) at this point is then taken as the next guess and this process
is repeated to converge on the root. As for the speed of convergence, it would be slower that Newton
Raphson because of the extra time needed to re-arrange the equation but it is faster than Decimal
search. The equations used will be solved numerically and there are three methods that I will be
using. It was not hard to use but tricky, due to the different options available. However the need for
much manual computation can make the process quite laborious and time consuming. Because of this
it is the most difficult method to use, especially if you do not have software to automate the
iterations. It is shown that the root lies between -1.53407035 and -1.53407025. If we take a look at
the Newton Raphson formula, it’s denominator is the gradient function of f(x). Although making the
tables can be repetitive, any faults can easily be rectified. This allowed me to work out that the three
real roots of the function were between the integers of -1 and 7. As a result of this no change of sign
will be found using the method above and so the root will not be found. With the use of excel, it is
every easy to write down the formula of the method in one cell and dragging it down as many cells
as you wish to (the number of iterations) and it is very easy to use. As the function f(x) is continuous,
a change of sign will always indicate a root. Below is the Excel spread sheet with f(x n ) and its
derivative, f’(x) shown. This assumption was made according to the theory above. Also it was used
because it calculated to more decimal places than a calculator. Various algorithms were used to get
approximations. The mark scheme re-arranged to get a different iteration formula and got an
approximation as 1.653 to 3 decimal places. Excel was used because it made my work easier, this
because you don’t need to calculate everything, once the formula is given and some calculations are
done, you just need to drag the cell down and the answers emerges. So I suggest error might have
occurred, therefore affecting the validity of my result. In some cases you may not be able to
differentiate f(x).
Also it was used because it calculated to more decimal places than a calculator. If we take a look at

question is the following: a) show that the equation x 3. This assumption was made according to the
theory above. Compared to the change of sign method both are generally more easy to use as once
the initial formula has been entered it is very quick and simple to do the iterations many times.

Simpson’s rule error is proportional to, which means it is a fourth order method and also when you
halve the width of the strip or you equivalently doubled the number of strips, this would reduced the
absolute error with a scale factor of 0.0625. Despite this, it is a very effective method as failure
chances are relatively very low and the root can be found to many decimal places if the right
software is used. Where h is the strip width which corresponds to n strips. OR did they add the word
negative in there so the re-arrangement of the equation would be correct so you don't take the square
root of a negative number. Also, the formula is iterative, therefore, it is not very time consuming. The
mark scheme re-arranged to get a different iteration formula and got an approximation as 1.653 to 3
decimal places. This repeats until we find the root of the equation, (when x value starts repeating or
reached enough significant levels). Most of the mistakes are made in this stage by humans. Below is
the formula which is involved in the calculation. This makes it very easy to work out the repetitive
part of the method and makes the speed of convergence much faster. Some methods give you the
exact and precise answer but usually are harder and more complex. But with ever growing
technology, there might already be software that solves the roots of an equation after entering the
formula in. A decimal search, in contrast, just requires calculations, which can easily be done using a
computer. The Decimal search method enables you to get a very close approximate to the real
solution but more easily. Looking at the graph you can see that the root is between -2 and -1. After 19
iterations, I found the root of the equation as from then on, it repeats. This allowed me to work out
that the three real roots of the function were between the integers of -1 and 7. But after the 4 th
iteration, we have reached a point where the x value started repeating due to the fact that this was to
4 decimal places. Second was the Decimal Search, which took five iterations and last was the
Rearrangement Method, which took the most number of iterations, 6. So this means that there will
be no sign changes resulting in the failure of the graph. The downside of the method is that it is the
most likely method of all three to fail as there is always a chance that when you rearrange an
equation and start the iterative process, it will not converge to the root but it will diverge away. The
Newton-Raphson method was the quickest, finding the root within a certain degree of accuracy in
only three iterations. The mark scheme re-arranged to get a different iteration formula and got an
approximation as 1.653 to 3 decimal places.
So I suggest error might have occurred, therefore affecting the validity of my result. The equations
used will be solved numerically and there are three methods that I will be using. Also to improve the
validity of my result Simpson’s rule could have been used. Is this correct (and could you explain
some of these higher-level concepts or would they not make sense to me fully with the current
knowledge I have? (A-level maths only) ------- Also, my other question is the following: a) show that
the equation x 3. Also, my other question is the following: a) show that the equation x 3. This is
because the tangent crosses the asymptote, as shown below. A decimal search, in contrast, just
requires calculations, which can easily be done using a computer. It must still be rearranged manually
though, and a large proportion of rearrangements fail. This shows that generally the Newton-Raphson
method has a much quicker speed of convergence than the other two methods. Some computer
programs, such as Autograph, can carry out the iterations for you, which, if they are available to you,
can make it easier to use than a decimal search. Most of the mistakes are made in this stage by
humans. To do this, we need to find the gradient at that point. The diagram above shows that the
gradient of g(x) is within this range at the root which is found. The table below gives an example to
justify the allegation. To work out X 1 I will use the formula above to work out X 1 in steps and will
repeat it to find a root to 5d.p and summarise in a table. However, this method is best done on a
spreadsheet, where you would be able to spot the sign change easily. But with ever growing
technology, there might already be software that solves the roots of an equation after entering the
formula in. I also used the autograph version 3 to draw the graph s as this would make my graph neat
and easier to understand. This is when the equation would have been solved by using the quadratic
formula, completing the square or by factorising it. It was adopted, because it would help me to
approximate the region under the graph using strips of trapezium and calculating their area. Care
must be taken when choosing a starting value and asymptotes can cause the method to fail. Here I
assumed that the ratio difference would continue to be 0.25, according to the theory, so I suggest
error might have occurred because some values of the ratio of differences may not be 0.25 precisely.
Although making the tables can be repetitive, any faults can easily be rectified. This is not accurate
enough as I want it to be to 5 decimal places. The copy of the spreadsheet where the formula was
also displayed was also shown. (See page 6 and 7). This makes it very easy to work out the repetitive
part of the method and makes the speed of convergence much faster. The fact that the solution lies
between -3 and -4 can also be seen in the graph. So using the Re- arrangement method to solve f(x), I
find that the root is - 1.961703555. As the function f(x) is continuous, a change of sign will always
indicate a root.

difficult method to use, especially if you do not have software to automate the iterations. So I used
the formula to work out the values in excel. It's more precise than that, but it means that for the right
kinds of iteration, repeating the iteration will bring your starting point closer and closer to that fixed
point. The fact that the solution lies between -3 and -4 can also be seen in the graph. Excel was used

initially and then I will use Excel to work the root out to more decimal places. I read that it is usually
best to re-arrange by having the dominant term on it's own first and go from there. Taking x 0 as the
first guess at the root, the tangent to the curve at (x 0,f(x 0 )) crosses the x axis at x 1, the second
guess. In this case, would you re-arrange until you find a suitable iteration formula that works. This
is not accurate enough as I want it to be to 5 decimal places. Below is the Excel spread sheet with f(x
n ) and its derivative, f’(x) shown. Some methods give you the exact and precise answer but usually

calcularor, you should get there after about 5 iterations. The value of g'(x) at this point is far greater
than 1, so the iterations do not converge. But with ever growing technology, there might already be
software that solves the roots of an equation after entering the formula in. Therefore when using n
strips, the strip width would be h, then the midpoint rule of 2n strips would have a strip width of,
then. To do this, we need to find the gradient at that point. I can only obtain an approximation of the
solution as it is impossible or hard to find the exact value of the function. Below is the formula which
is involved in the calculation. Also, my other question is the following: a) show that the equation x 3.

occurred. Also to improve the validity of my result Simpson’s rule could have been used. It was not
hard to use but tricky, due to the different options available. But with Computers being able to do
even that, it makes it even easier to use it. A change of sign will always indicate a root if the function
is continuous. If the gradient function is zero, that will mean that the denominator is 0 and that is an
impossible fraction. This process is then repeated on the new x values until they converge on the root
to the required level of accuracy. If that g’(x) 1, then we know that the function will not converge to
the root but will diverge away. Although making the tables can be repetitive, any faults can easily be
rectified. This makes it even easier than excel but it is less accurate as it only gives the root to 3
decimal places where as excel can be configured to as many decimal places as needed. I am going to

different function to the other two. This is because in Simpson’s rule error is proportional to, which
means it is a fourth order method and also when you halve the width of the strip or you equivalently

This makes it much easier than excel but it is again less accurate as it only gives the root to 3 decimal
places where as excel can be configured to as many decimal places as needed. According to syllabus

integration using. For this method, I will be using a different function to the other two. In this case,

it would help me to approximate the region under the graph using strips of trapezium and calculating
