The equation 2x = x3 has two roots. Show that the intervals are [1‚2] and [9‚10]. 5 f( x ) = x 3 – 2 – x 1 ‚ x ≠ 0. (a) Show that the equation f( x ) = 0 has a root between 1 and 2. An approximation for this root is found using the iteration formula x n + 1 = 3 1 nx 1 2 + ‚ with 0 x = 1.5. (b) By calculating the values of x 1‚ x 2‚ x 3 and x 4‚ find an approximation to this root‚ giving your answer to 3 decimal places. (c) By considering the change of sign

value of buyout option in cells M32 and M33 which outcome occurs in cells B36 to B39 NPV in cells C36 to C39 The only thing that simulation part does is it keeps on refreshing the spreadsheet‚ getting a new set of random numbers in each iteration‚ and keeps track of the outcomes and NPV in iterations. This is a mechanical step that you don’t need to verify. Q2: Secondly‚ we are a bit unclear on the way in which the decision trees can be applied to this case. Are we correct in assuming that they

either fit a purpose or be aesthetically pleasing. In order to achieve either of these two design factors‚ one must go through creating an initial product and then undergoing the iteration process. Thus to reflect upon and make the changes to and finally produce the desired product applying the knowledge found in the iteration stage. This intertwines to Mahina’s point of view as designers are using the ‘past’ in order to create successfully create the ‘future’. Design is a “process and a medium for

Numerical Methods In this coursework I am going to investigate numerical methods of solving equations. The methods I will use are: 1. Change of sign method‚ for which I am going to use decimal search 2. Fixed point iteration using x = g(x) method 3. Fixed point iteration using Newton-Raphson method I will then compare the methods in terms of speed of convergence and ease of use with hardware/software Contents |Change of sign
