1. Use Bisection method to find a bound for the number of iterations needed to achieve an
approximation with accuracy 10 to the solution of − − 1 = 0 lying in the
interval

0,1
. Find this zero correct
to three significant digits using Newton-Raphson Method.
3. Use Secant method and method of Regula-Falsi to find the solution to within 10 for the
function = 2 + 3 cos − for 0 ≤ ≤ 1 .
4. Given that the equation . = 69 has a root between 5 and 8. Use the method of Regula-
Falsi to determine it.
5. Let = be a root of = 0 and let be an interval containing the point = . Let
