1. If the number = 57.46235 is rounded off to four significant figures, find the absolute error,
relative error and the percentage relative error.

2. Using Newton-Raphson method, find a root of the function f ( ) = – 3 to an accuracy of 5

digits. The root is known to lie between 0.5 and 1.0. Take the starting value of as = 1.

3. Use the Bisection method to find a root of the equation – 4 – 9 = 0 in the interval (2, 3),
accurate to four decimal places.

4. Find a root of the equation – – 1 = 0 using the secant method approximations: = 2 and

= 1.

5. Solve the following equations by the Gauss-Seidel iteration method.

4x – y + z = 12

– x + 4y – 2z = –1

x – 2y + 4z =5

6. Solve the following equations by the Gauss elimination Method and LU Decomposition method

x + 2y + 3z + 4w =8

2x – 2y – z – w = –3

x – 3y + 4z – 4w =8

2x + 2y – 3z + 4w = –2
