Numerical solution of system of linear equations

1. Solve the following systems of equations using Gauss-Elimination method with and
without pivoting and compare the accuracy in both cases. Discuss the reason for
the gain in accuracy in any method.

(a)

41 22 + 3 = 15
31 2 + 43 = 8
1 2 + 33 = 13

(b)

101 + 42 23 = 4
171 2 23 + 34 = 2
1 + 2 + 4 = 6
341 162 + 103 84 = 4

2. Solve the following system using (i)Jacobi method and (ii) Gauss-Seidel method,
correct up to 2 decimal places,

1.8761 + 2.9852 11.6203 = 0.972

12.2141 + 2.3672 + 3.6723 = 7.814
2.4121 + 9.8792 + 1.5643 = 4.890

and compare the results obtained in both cases.

1. The population of a town in the decennial census was as given below. Estimate the
population in the year 1955 and 1985.

Year(x) 1951 1961 1971 1981 1991

Population (y)(in lakhs) 46 66 81 93 101

2. From the following table estimate the number of students who obtained marks be-
tween 40 and 45

Marks 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80

No. of students 31 42 51 35 71

3. The following gives the velocity V of a particle in time t

t(sec.) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12
V(m/sec) 4 6 16 34 60 94 136

Find the distance moved by the particle in 12 seconds.

(ii)Simpsons 3
Rule

5. A solid of revolution is formed by rotating about the x-axis the area between the
lines = 0 and = 1 and a curve through the points with the following coordinates

x 0.00 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00

y 1.0000 0.9896 0.9589 0.9089 0.8415

Estimate the volume of the solid formed by using Simpsons 3
rule.

Finding Roots of Algebraic and Transcendental Equations

1. Find out the complex root of 3 22 + 5 = 0 using Newton-Raphson method.

Choose (0 = 1 + )

2. Find the root of 2 2 3 = 0 using Fixed point iteration method. Try all possible
forms for = () and compare the results. Discuss the convergence in each case.

3. Find out the value of 37 using Fixed point iteration and Newton-Raphson Method
upto 4 decimals.

4. Find out the double root of ( 1)(1 1) = 0 using Newton Raphson method.

5. () = ( 1)3 ( 2) has roots at = 1 and = 2. The rst is a triple root and

the second is simple root. Using starting values that dier from the root by 0.1,
compare the number of iterations taken by Newton - Raphson method to reach each
root. What could be starting values that cause this method to fail for the given
equation.

6. Find where the graphs of = 3 and = intersect. Get the intersection

value having 4 digits in mantissa.

7. The cubic 23 + 32 3 5 = 0 has a root near =1.25. Find at least three

arrangements that will converge to this root.
