3. [3 Marks] Evaluate 4.10 " 8.43 as accurately as possible..

4. [4 Marks] Consider a function f (x) = x3 3x + 1 in the interval [0, 1]. Find the error
in the root of the function after n = 5 iterations using bisection method. How many
more iterations are needed to reduce the error by half?

5. [6 Marks] Write a Fortran 90 program to compute Kronecker delta i,j , for given values
of i and j . The program should read two integers i and j and print 0 if they are unequal,
and 1 if they are equal.

6. [8 Marks] Write a Fortran 90 program to calculate the square root of a number using
Newton's method. Use the program to calculate the square root of 36 with a starting
value x0 = 5. Calculate only up to x4 .
