Assignment Based on Numerical Method
1. Find a root of the following equations, correct to three decimal places, using the
bisection method.
(i) x sin x + cos x = 0 which is near x =  (Ans. x =
2.7985)
(ii) x4 – x – 10 = 0 (Ans. x =
1.8555)
2. Find a root of the following equations correct to three decimal places using the method
of false position (Regula falsi method)
(i) x ex + sin x = 0 (ii) x3 – 3x + 1 = 0 (iii) 2x – loge x = 6

Ans. (i) -0.134 (iii) 3.6469 (ii) 1.532, 0.342

3. Using the method of iteration, find the roots correct to four decimal places.
(i) x3 – 6x + 4 = 0 , x0 = 1.0 (Ans.: x = 0.7321)
(ii) x3 + x2 + x – 100 = 0 , x0 = 4 (Ans.: x = 4.2644)
4. Find, by Newton-Raphson method, the root of the equation.
(i) x log10 x – 1.2 = 0 correct to three decimal places (Ans.: x = 2.7402)

5. Obtain a formula to evaluate the cube root of a positive of a number N and hence
3
compute√ 12 . (Ans.: 2.2894)
6. Using iteration method, find root of the following equations correct to three decimal
places.
(i) x3 – 2x – 5 = 0 Ans. x = 2.094
(ii) x ex – 3 = 0 Ans. x = 1.049
(iii) 3x – 6 – log10 x = 0 Ans. x = 2.108

Solution No. 4: Hint: Here, f(x) = x log10 x – 1.2

log e x
f ( x )=x −1. 2
∴ log e 10
' 1
f ( x )= {1+log x }−0
∴ log e 10
