United International University (UIU) Mid Exam: Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) Trimester: Fall - 2020

This document contains instructions for a numerical methods midterm exam with 5 questions worth a total of 20 marks. Question 1 asks students to use Taylor's series to find the value of a function f(x) at x=0. Question 2 asks students to explain whether Newton's method is suitable for finding the root of a cosine function and discuss the initial guess. Question 3 asks students to discuss a scenario involving accuracy and precision using an appropriate diagram. Question 4 asks students to determine the root of a function using the faster of two bracketing methods. Question 5 asks students to use Gauss-Jordan elimination to solve a system of two simultaneous equations.

Mid Exam Trimester: Fall - 2020
Course Code: CSI 229
Course Title: Numerical Methods (sec-A)
Total Marks: 20 Duration: 1 hour
.

(1) 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 4𝑥 + 3. The value of f(x) and its derivatives are given at x=2.
Determine the exact value of f(x) at x=0 using Taylor’s series. [CO1] [4]

(2) 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥. Is it a good idea to use Newton Raphson method to find the root
of this equation? Explain with necessary figure. Can we take the initial guess
anywhere for the given equation while solving with Newton Raphson? Give
explanation using your provided figure. [CO2] [2+2]

(3) Suppose, the true result of a numerical problem is 25. Using five different
values for initialization, you get approximate result of 0.5, 0.4, 0.5, 0.45 and
0.5. Discuss this scenario with respect to accuracy and precision. Use
appropriate diagram. [CO4] [4]

(4) 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 − 1. Which bracketing method is faster for determining the
root of this equation? Use the faster method to determine the root of this
equation, where the bracket is [0,1]. Show 2 iterations. Note: use radian value
while performing calculations. [CO2] [1+3]

(5) Use Gauss Jordan method to determine the values of x and y for the two
simultaneous equations given below: [CO3] [4]

3x – y – 14 = 0
7x + y = 46

NOTE: Any examinee found adopting unfair means will be expelled from the
trimester / program as per UIU disciplinary rules.
