For the following exercises, write Newton’s formula as for solving
For the following exercises, solve using the iteration which differs slightly from Newton’s method. Find a that works and a that fails to converge, with the exception of
For the following exercises, start at
a. and
b.
Compute and using the specified iterative method.
For the following exercises, solve to four decimal places using Newton’s method and a computer or calculator. Choose any initial guess that is not the exact root.
For the following exercises, use Newton’s method to find the fixed points of the function where round to three decimals.
Newton’s method can be used to find maxima and minima of functions in addition to the roots. In this case apply Newton’s method to the derivative function to find its roots, instead of the original function. For the following exercises, consider the formulation of the method.
To find candidates for maxima and minima, we need to find the critical points Show that to solve for the critical points of a function Newton’s method is given by
What additional restrictions are necessary on the function
We need to be twice continuously differentiable.
For the following exercises, use Newton’s method to find the location of the local minima and/or maxima of the following functions; round to three decimals.
Minimum of
Minimum of
Maximum of
Minimum of closest non-zero minimum to
For the following exercises, use the specified method to solve the equation. If it does not work, explain why it does not work.
Newton’s method,
Newton’s method, starting at
For the following exercises, use the secant method , an alternative iterative method to Newton’s method. The formula is given by
Find a root to accurate to three decimal places.
Find a root to accurate to four decimal places.
Why would you use the secant method over Newton’s method? What are the necessary restrictions on
For the following exercises, use both Newton’s method and the secant method to calculate a root for the following equations. Use a calculator or computer to calculate how many iterations of each are needed to reach within three decimal places of the exact answer. For the secant method, use the first guess from Newton’s method.
In the following exercises, consider Kepler’s equation regarding planetary orbits, where is the mean anomaly, is eccentric anomaly, and measures eccentricity.
Use Newton’s method to solve for the eccentric anomaly when the mean anomaly and the eccentricity of the orbit round to three decimals.
Use Newton’s method to solve for the eccentric anomaly when the mean anomaly and the eccentricity of the orbit round to three decimals.
The following two exercises consider a bank investment. The initial investment is After years, the investment has tripled to
Use Newton’s method to determine the interest rate if the interest was compounded annually.
Use Newton’s method to determine the interest rate if the interest was compounded continuously.
