INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Answer all the questions.

2. Use four decimal places in each calculation by rounding off.

Question 1

a. Let f ( x) 0 is a non linear equation. What is the definition x p is a root of the

non linear equation f ( x) 0 ?
b. Use the secant method to estimate the root of f ( x ) e x x . Start with x0 0 and
x1 1 .
c. Use the Newton-Raphson method to find root of f ( x ) x 3 4 x 2 10 , with the
initial value x0 1 .

Question 2
(a) The following system of linear equations is designed to determine concentrations (the
cs in g/m3) in a series of coupled reactors as a function of the amount of mass input
to each reactor (the right-hand sides in g/day),
17c1 2c2 3c3 = 500
-5c1 + 21c2 2c3 = 200
-5c1 5c2 + 22c3 = 30
Use the Crout Method to determine the concentrations.

(b) Given a system of linear equations as below,

2 9 1 1 w 1

16 1 4 0 x 1
1 1 .
0 13 y 0

3 0 11 2 z 2

(i) Rearrange the equations so that coefficient matrix A is diagonally dominant.
(ii) Solve the system of linear equations by using Gauss-Seidel iteration method.
