Tutorial 2

The document presents a tutorial on solving the equation 3x^2 near x=0 using two methods: the fixed-point method and the Newton-Raphson method, with both methods requiring two iterations. The fixed-point method yields an approximation of x as 0.7654, while the Newton-Raphson method gives an approximation of 0.8444. Additionally, it discusses finding f(1) using Lagrange interpolation based on four given points.

Tutorial 2

1. Solve 𝑥 3𝑥 2 near 𝑥 0 by the fixed-point method starting from 𝑥 0. Do two


iterations. Then solve the same equation by the Newton-Raphson method starting from the
same initial guess. Also do two iterations.

Solution:
Fixed-point:
Choose iteration formula: 𝑥

𝑥 0.7654

Newton-Raphson:
𝑓 𝑥 3𝑥 3
𝑥 𝑥

𝑥 𝑥 0.8444

True solutions: 𝑥 , 1, 𝑥 2

2. Find 𝑓 1 from the following four points: 𝑓 1 2; 𝑓 0 1; 𝑓 2 1; 𝑓 3 16.


Use Lagrange interpolation.

Solution:

𝑓 𝑥 𝑓 1 𝑓 0 𝑓 2

𝑓 3

𝑥 𝑥 𝑥 1

𝑓 1 1
