3. [20 points] Find all positive, nonzero roots of sin x 0.1x 0 using the Newton-Raphson Method. Show your approximation through a table. 4. [15 points] In using the method of successive substitution, what F(x) will you use to determine a root of x3 10 x 2 5 0 and why? Show at least 5 iterations using a table. 5. [15 points] Find a root of tan x tanh x 0 that lies on the interval 4,10 with error 0.001 relative. Use method of bisection or half-interval method. 6. [20 points] Approximate the value of

5 in decimal accurate up to four decimals places. You 17 1 may use any convenient method.
