University of Lagos Faculty of Engineering 1" Semester Examination 2019/2020 Session GEG 412/402: Numerical Methods in Engineering | Time allowed: 2hours Instruction: ‘+ Answer all questions. QUESTION 1 a, Use the Newton, Fixed point and Aitken’s method to find the first three successive approximations to the root of f(x) = cos x ~ e~* in the neighborhood of x = 1.265 bb. Use the Gauss-Seidel Iteration method to approximate the solution to the system of equations given: 5x, — 2xp + 3x3 = 1; “3%; + 9x2 xy = 2 2x — Q—7 = 3 QUESTION 2 A ball at 1200K is allowed to cool down in air at an ambient temperature of 300K, Assuming heat is lost only due to radiation, the differential equation for the temperature of the ball is given by: 2.2067 x10" (9 - 81x10"), 0(0)= 120K. Find the temperature at ¢ = 480seconds. Assume a step size of ht = 240seconds. {a) Using the Euler's method (b) Using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method.
