1. Check stability of the matrix : 5−1 6−1 7−1 (07)
8−1 9−1 10−1

2. Solve : 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 = 1 and 𝑦 3 − 𝑥 = −1 with seed values for both the variable as 0.9 and taking two steps of
iterations. Use at least 4 digit approximation. (13)

3. Solve : 4 log 𝑒 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 using trapezoidal rule, Simpson’s 1/3rd rule and Simpson’s 3/8th rule. Use at least 7 digit
approximation. (07)

4. Consider 𝑢𝑡 = 𝑢𝑥𝑥 , subject to initial condition : 𝑢 = 1 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝜋𝑥 at 𝑡 = 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1 and the boundary
conditions : 𝑢 = 0 𝑎𝑡 𝑥 = 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 = 1 for 𝑡 > 0. Assuming spatial step as 0.2 and 𝜆 = 1, solve for internal
mesh points upto second time step. (10)

5. Consider 𝑢𝑡𝑡 = 𝑢𝑥𝑥 for 𝑢 0, 𝑡 = 0, 𝑢 1, 𝑡 = 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡 > 0 and 𝑢𝑡 𝑥, 0 = 0 while 𝑢(𝑥, 0) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝜋𝑥 for all 𝑥
in 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1. Prove that the internal nodal values within specified boundary of the grid at second time step are
0.2952, 0.1296 and 0.2952. (13)
