1. Solve f (x) = 5 cos2 (x) − 8 sin5 (x) = 0 in [0.5, 1.5] for the root by Newton’s method
with the accuracy 10−6 . Use the initial approximation as x0 = 0.5.
2. Determine all the real roots of f (x) = −1 + 5.5x − 4x2 + 0.5x3 .
(a) Graphically and
(b) Using the Newton’s method to within 10−4 accuracy.
3. Find the order of convergence of Newton’s method.
4. A spherical storage tank with diameter of 6 ft contains 4f t3 of oil. The height of
the oil in the tank is governed by the equation,
πh2
V = 3 (3R − h)

Using Newton’s method with an initial guess of height as 0.5 ft, find the height to
which an 8 ft dipstick would be wet with oil, within an accuracy of 0.01.
5. Use Newton’s method formula and analyze based on the fixed point method to find
the root of f (x) = x − e−x accurate to 10−4 on [0,1]. Use an initial approximation
as x0 = 0.5.
6. (a) Apply Newton’s method to the function f (x) = tanh(x2 − 9) to evaluate its
known real root at x = 3. Use an initial guess of x0 = 3.2 and take a minimum
of 4 iterations.
(b) Did the method exhibit convergence onto its real root? Sketch the plot with the
result for each iteration shown.
7. If the addition of two numbers is 8 and the square root of their product is 41 , then use
Newton’s method to approximate to within 10−4 , the largest value of the first number
and corresponding second number using the initial approximation as x0 = 4.5.
