    1. For each of the following, the equation f (x) = 0 has been written in the form x = g(x).
    Determine which ones converge to a fixed-point in the specified interval:
     
    5 x
    (a) g(x) = 2 + 2 on [2.5, 3]. (b) g(x) = π + 0.5 sin on [0, 2π].

    (c) g(x) = 2−x on ,1 . (d) g(x) = on [0, 1].

    (e) g(x) = (20 − x) 3 on [2, 3].
    2. Most functions can be rearranged in several ways to give x = g(x) with
    r which to begin

    the fixed-point method. For f (x) = ex − 2x2 = 0, one g(x) is x = ± .

    (a) Show that this converges to the root near 1.5 if the positive value is used and to
    the root near −0.5 if the negative value is used.
    (b) There is a third root near 2.6. Show that we do not converge to this root even
    though values near the root such as x0 = 2.5 or p0 = 2.7 are used to begin the
    iteration.
    (c) Find another rearrangement that does converge correctly to the third root.

    3. Use the function g(x) = (20−x) 3 to solve the equation x3 +x = 20, using the fixed-point
    iteration method in the interval [2, 3] with x0 = 2.4 to a 5% error.
    4. Find the real root of 2 − 4x + cos x = 0, by Newton Raphson method up to four decimal
    places, assuming x0 = 0.5
    5. Use the Newton-Raphson method and the Secant method to find solutions accurate to
    within 10−4 for each of the following problems, starting with the given x0 .
    1. x3 + 3x2 − 1 = 0, x0 = −3.
    2. 4e−x sin x − 1 = 0, x0 = 0.336.

    equation x4 − x − 10 = 0.
    (a) How many solutions of the nonlinear equation are there in [1, ∞)? Are they simple?
    (b) Find an interval [1, b] that contains the smallest positive solution of the nonlinear
    equation.
    (c) Compute five iterations of Newton-Raphson method, for each of the initial guesses
    x0 = 1, x0 = 2, x0 = 100. What are your observations?
    7. Find the multiplicity of each given zero of f (x) = 0. Hence, use the Modified Newton-
    Raphson’s method to approximate the same zero starting with the given x0 .
    (a) f (x) = (x + 1)3 , x = −1, x0 = 0. (b) f (x) = (x − 1)(ex−1 − 1), x = 1, x0 = 0.
