Note:
1. Attempt all the questions.
2. Use of non-programmable calculator is allowed.
3. Write the answers in hard copy (on A4 or any other sheet available) using blue/black pen with
their sign on top and bottom of each page. Also put page numbers on upper right corner of each
page of the answer booklet.
4. The time allowed for writing examination is 2 hours. Extra 15 minutes are allowed for scanning
and sending the answer booklet.

tion.

1. Set up Newton’s scheme of iteration

√ for finding the square root of a positive number N and hence
evaluate the numerical value of 12, correct up to Four decimal places.

2. A function y = f (x) is given at the sample points x = x0 , x1 and x2 . Show that the Newton’s
divided difference interpolation formula and the corresponding Lagrange’s interpolation formula
are identical.

3. Find the largest eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenvector of the matrix
 
2 3 2
4 3 5
3 2 9

using Power Method correct up to two decimal places. Use (1, 1, 1)T as the initial eigenvector.

4. Use the rules of finite difference operators, prove the following identity:

u0 + u1 + u2 + ... + un = C1 u0 + n+1C2 4u0 + n+1C3 42 u0 + ... + n+1Cn+1 4n u0

n+1

5. From the following table, find x, correct to two decimal places, for which y is maximum and find
the value of y.

x 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6

y 0.9320 0.9636 0.9855 0.9975 0.9996
6. Evaluate the integral

using trapezoidal and Simpson’s 1/3 rules by taking h = 1/4. Using this result to compute the
approximate value of π.

7. Solve the initial value problem

dy x2 + y2
= ; y(0) = 1
dx 10
with h = 0.1 on the interval [0, 0.2] use the Runge-Kutta fourth order.

8. Using Modified Euler’s method, obtain the solution of the differential equation
dy √
= x + y, y(0) = 1
dx
Use at least two iterations to improve the solution at every step.
