2. (a) Compute a real root of 2𝑥 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 + 1 using the method of Successive Approximation
starting with 𝑥! = 0, Carry out 3 iterations. (1.5)
(b) Use Aitkens ∆! process to get a more accurate solution using the above, (1.5)
(c) If the exact solution of the given equation is 0.83543, determine the Absolute error,
Relative error, Percentage error (1)
3. Solve the following system of linear algebraic equation using LU Decomposition technique
8𝑥 + 2𝑦 − 2𝑧 = −2 (5)
10𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 4𝑧 = 4
12𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 2𝑧 = 6
4. A civil engineer involved in construction requires 4800, 5800, 5700 m3 of sand, fine gravel
and coarse gravel respectively for a building project. There are three pits from which these
materials can be obtained. The composition of these pits is given below
Pit Sand % Fine gravel % Coarse gravel %
I 55 30 15
II 25 45 30
III 25 20 55
How many cubic meters must be hauled from each pit in order to meet the engineer’s
needs? Use Gauss elimination method. (4)
5. Use Gauss Seidal method to obtain the following system of equations, correct up to three
significant digits. 17𝐶! − 2𝐶! − 3𝐶! = 500
−5𝐶! + 21𝐶! − 2𝐶! = 200
−5𝐶! − 5𝐶! + 22𝐶! = 30 (3)
