Q5a)
x^3 + x^2 - 4x - 1 =0
x^3 + x^2 = 4x+1
x^2(x+1) = 4x+1
x^2 = (4x+1)/(x+1)
x = SQR[(4x+1)/(x+1)]
b)
x1=1
x2=1.58
x3=1.68
x4=1.70.
c)
f(1.695) = -0.0372
f(1.705) = 0.0435
Root lies between 1.695 and 1.705 = 1.70(2dp)
d)If x=-1 the iteration formulae produces a divide by zero - which goes to infinity and is not processable.
Q6)a) log(5)[x^2/y] = log(5)[x^2] - log(5)[y]
=2a - b
b) log(5)[25xrooty] = log(5)25 + log(5)x + 0.5log(5)y
= 2 + a + 0.5b
c) You hence have:
2a - b = 1
2 + a + 0.5b = 1
d)
You can solve the quadratics to get a = 0.25, b=-1.5.
e) log(5)X = -.25
x = 5^-.25 = 0.669
log(5)Y = -1.5
y= 5^-1.5 = 0.089.
Q7a) f(x) = x + (1/5)e^x
f'(x) = 1 + (1/5)e^x
b) Crosses y axis at A, at A x=0, y=1/5.
f'(x) = 2/5
y - (1/5) = (2/5)x
5y-1 = 2x
5y=2x+1
c) Under 1 you have 1.2424, under 1.5 you have 1.548, under 2 you have 1.865.
d) h=0.5
Estimation = 9.7176/4
=2.43 units^2.
Q8
a)
y=ln(3x-6)
x=ln(3y-6)
e^x = 3y-6
3y = e^x + 6
y = f^-1(x) = (1/3)(e^x) + 2
b) For the domain i put xER
For the range i put f^-1(x) > 2, as (1/3)e^x is always positive.
c) ln(3x-6) = 3
e^3 = 3x-6
3x = e^3 + 6
x = 8.70 (3sf)
d) Can't do on screen, you can plug some values to check it.
e) (5/3, 0), (7/3, 0) i think, without checking via a graph.
