IV Semester, B.Tech (ECE, EEE & CHEM ) Slot-E Max. Marks: 25 (5X5=25)
Subject: Numerical Methods and Probability Theory (MAL 205) Duration: 1 Hour

Instructions: Answer all questions. All numerical calculation has to be four decimal accuracy.

1. Derive the Newton’s method for solving the following system of nonlinear equations:
f1 (x1 , x2 , ....., xn ) = 0
f2 (x1 , x2 , ....., xn ) = 0
........................
........................
fn (x1 , x2 , ....., xn ) = 0.

2. Using the Regula-Falsi method, calculate the root of the equation xex = 2, correct to two
decimal places.

3. Solve the following system of linear equations by Doolittle’s method:

x1 + x2 + x3 = 3
2x1 − x2 + 3x3 = 16
3x1 + x2 − x3 = −3

4. Using Jacobi’s method, find all eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of the matrix
 
1 −2 4
−2 5 −2 .
4 −2 1

5. Using Milne’s method of order four, find y(0.4) from y 0 = x2 +y 2 , y(0) = 1. Use Taylor series
method to find the initial values y(0.1), y(0.2) and y(0.3). Perform one step of the corrector.
