QUESTION 1: CHAPTER 2 NONLINEAR EQUATIONS
The pH of rainwater in Parit Raja area can be computed as:
pH = − log10 [ H + ]
where [H+] is the molar concentration of hydrogen ions.
The chemistry of rainwater is also governed by the nonlinear system of equations as follows:
f ([ H + ]) = 5.474 ×10−12 [ H + ]2 + 5.487 ×10−22 [ H + ] + 10−1 A [ H + ]2 − [ H + ]3
(a) Based on the obtained third-order polynomial, determine the pH of rainwater in Parit
Raja area using Secant method, with starting interval [2,12]. Iterate until 10th iteration.

(b) Plot the convergence error of your iterations.

Note that the value of A is the last digit of your matrix number. For example, a student with
−14
matrix number AD193214 will have the values of 10 . (Hint: To find the pH, you need to
calculate [ H ] )

(a) A military radar identified an unknown object flying above Andaman Sea. The Radar Intercept
Officer (RIO) justified that this unknown flying object follows a motion equation,
(t ) sin t + 6t 3 where s in meter and t in second. Justify whether 3-point central difference
s=

second, comparing to 2-point forward difference and 2-point backward difference. Use small
increment, h =10−3 . Note that the value of A is the last digit of your matrix number. For
example, a student with matrix number AD193214 will have the values of A=4.
