Assignment Solutions for Math 3132 Final Exam
Question 1: Root Finding for \( f(x) = x^3 - 7 \)
Part (a): Showing Uniqueness of the Root on \([1, 2]\)
To demonstrate that there is a unique root of \( f(x) = x^3 - 7 \) in the interval \([1, 2]\), we first need to evaluate \( f(1) \) and \( f(2) \).
\[
f(1) = 1^3 - 7 = -6
\]
\[
f(2) = 2^3 - 7 = 1
\]
Since \( f(1) < 0 \) and \( f(2) > 0 \), by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there is at least one root in the interval \([1, 2]\). To establish uniqueness, we compute the derivative:
\[
f'(x) = 3x^2
\]
Since \( f'(x) > 0 \) for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \), the function \( f(x) \) is strictly increasing. Hence, there can be only one root in the interval \([1, 2]\) (Rudin, 1976).
Part (b): Bisection Method for Root Approximation
1. Iteration 1:
\[
c = \frac{1 + 2}{2} = 1.5
\]
\[
f(1.5) = 1.5^3 - 7 = -4.875
\]
New interval: \([1.5, 2]\).
2. Iteration 2:
\[
c = \frac{1.5 + 2}{2} = 1.75
\]
\[
f(1.75) = 1.75^3 - 7 = -1.078125
\]
New interval: \([1.75, 2]\).
3. Iteration 3:
\[
c = \frac{1.75 + 2}{2} = 1.875
\]
\[
f(1.875) = 1.875^3 - 7 = 0.327151
\]
New interval: \([1.75, 1.875]\).
4. Iteration 4:
\[
c = \frac{1.75 + 1.875}{2} = 1.8125
\]
\[
f(1.8125) = 1.8125^3 - 7 = -0.4482422
\]
New interval: \([1.8125, 1.875]\).
The approximate root after four iterations is between \(1.8125\) and \(1.875\).
Part (c): Bisection Steps Formula
The formula for the minimal number of iterations \( n \) needed to achieve desired accuracy \( \epsilon \) in the bisection method is given by
\[
n \geq \lceil \log_2\left(\frac{b-a}{\epsilon}\right) \rceil
\]
where \( a \) and \( b \) are the endpoints of the interval. Here, \( a = 1 \), \( b = 2 \), and \( \epsilon = 0.001 \).
Part (d): Calculate Minimal Steps for \( \epsilon = 0.001 \)
Plugging in the values:
\[
n \geq \lceil \log_2\left(\frac{2-1}{0.001}\right) \rceil = \lceil \log_2(1000) \rceil \approx 10
\]
So, at least 10 steps are required.
Question 2: Newton's Method
Part (a): Appropriate Use of Newton’s Method
Newton’s Method is appropriate when the function is differentiable in the neighborhood of the root and the initial guess is sufficiently close to the actual root (Burden & Faires, 2015).
Part (b): Main Steps of Newton’s Method
1. Choose an initial guess \( x_0 \).
2. Repeat until convergence:
\[
x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}
\]
Part (c): Five Iterations Starting from \( x_0 = 1 \)
1. Iteration 1:
\[
f(1) = -6, \quad f'(1) = 3
\]
\[
x_1 = 1 - \frac{-6}{3} = 3
\]
2. Iteration 2:
\[
f(3) = 20, \quad f'(3) = 27
\]
\[
x_2 = 3 - \frac{20}{27} \approx 2.259
\]
3. Iteration 3:
\[
f(2.259) \approx 2.752, \quad f'(2.259) \approx 15.340
\]
\[
x_3 \approx 2.259 - \frac{2.752}{15.340} \approx 2.136
\]
4. Iteration 4:
\[
f(2.136) \approx 0.503, \quad f'(2.136) \approx 13.555
\]
\[
x_4 \approx 2.136 - \frac{0.503}{13.555} \approx 2.124
\]
5. Iteration 5:
\[
f(2.124) \approx 0.0001, \quad f'(2.124) \approx 13.428
\]
\[
x_5 \approx 2.124 - \frac{0.0001}{13.428} \approx 2.124
\]
The approximation converges to about \( x \approx 2.124 \).
