S1

Consider f(x) = x3 + 3x 5.
Find a system at a stable condition (zero) in range [1,2]. Stop your prediction
when the error (convergence criteria) less than 0.001. Verify your calculation by
plotting the function, and show your predicted result is correct. By using:
(a)

Secant method
(5 markah)

(b)

Bisection Method
(5 markah)

S2

(a)

Use Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting to solve the system of

linear equations given.
0.143x1 + 0.357x2 + 2.01x3 = - 5.173
1.31x1 + 0.911x2 + 1.99x3 = - 5.458
11.2x1 4.30x2 0.605x3 = 4.415
(3 marks)

(b)

Use the Crout reduction method to obtain an LU decomposition of the

matrix

(3 marks)

S3

(c)

Use the LU decomposition of (b) above to solve the linear system Mx=d
with M as in (b) and d=
.

A quadratic Lagrange interpolant is found using three data points, t=15, 18 and
22 (s). From this information, at what of the times given in seconds is the velocity
of the body, v=26(m/s) during the time interval of t=15 to t=22 seconds.
