Hence, there is a large discrepancy between the approximation and the actual value. (OR stating that the approximation more than doubled the actual value.) One reason for the large percentage error is that the value of d d y x at 1.5x= is 0.10430530756 which is much smaller than the value of d d y x at 1x= which is 1. OR
5 9649/01/2022 One reason for the large percentage error is that there is a rapid decrease in gradient value in the interval 1,1.5 as can be seen in the sketch below: Solution 5.

Also, the 1 st, 3 rd and 4 th columns are pivot columns, thus the corresponding columns of M namely 2 2 4 2 − , 6 3 9 3 − and 2 3 5 a − are linearly independent.
6 9649/01/2022 Hence 262 2 3 3,,4 9 5 23 a − − − is a basis of R. (ii) Since w x y z belongs to R, w x y z can be expressed as a linear combination of 2 2 4 2 − , 6 3 9 3 − and 2 3 5 a − . i.e. 1 2 3 2 6 2 2 3 3 4 9 5 23 w x c c cy za − − − = + + , where 1c , 2c and 3c .

7 9649/01/2022 So we have 1 2 4 3 22x x x=− , 34 1 3xx= . 3 242 2 241 43 4 362 2011 0123 03 xx x xxx x −− = = + x A basis for the null space of T is 36 20,01 03 − . Observe that 1 22 3 6 2 1 2 3 3 3 1 0 4 6 9 5 2 0 2 3 3 3 1 0 − − − − − = − − . So 1 2 0 0 0 is a particular solution of 1 1 2 1 −= Mx . 1 2 36 200 , where ,010 030 − = + + x . Solution 6. Let 3f ( ) e 2 1 x xx= − + . f (1) 0.396 0= f (6) 3.61 0=− f (9) 3.09 0= Hence, one root is between 1 and 6, while the other is between 6 and 9.

8 9649/01/2022 The gradient of the curve f ( )yx= at 0x is relatively gentle, resulting in the next approximation 1x (where tangent at 0x cuts the x-axis) being further away from the root α than 0x . Using the iterative formula 3 1 e1 2 nx nx + += , approximations diverge from α as seen in the diagram, regardless of whether the initial approximation is greater than or less than α. Using instead the iterative formula 1 3ln(2 1)nnxx+ =− , 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 7.5 7.9172 8.0908 8.1603 8.1876 8.1983 .20248 8.2040 8.2047 8.205 8.2049 8.205 x x x x x x x x x x = = = = = = = = = = 8.205 (to 3 dp)=
