(b) Using bisection, the first iteration is f ( 1) f (.5) 8(1.15) 31.5 Therefore, the root is in the second interval and the lower guess is redefined as x l.5. The second iteration is ε a.5 (.5) 1% 1%.5 f (.5) f (.5) 1.15( ) Therefore, the root is in the first interval and the upper guess is redefined as x u.5. The remainder of the iterations are displayed in the following table: i x l x u f(x l ) f( ) f(x l ) f( ) ε a % % %

(c) Using false position, the first iteration is 14( 1 ) ( 14) f ( 1) f (.33333) 8( ) Therefore, the root is in the first interval and the upper guess is redefined as x u The second iteration is ( 1 (.33333)) ( ) ε a.4364 (.33333) 1% 3.59%.4364 f ( 1) f (.4364) 8( 1.418) Therefore, the root is in the first interval and the upper guess is redefined as x u The remainder of the iterations are displayed in the following table: i x l f(x l ) x u f(x u ) f( ) f(x l ) f( ) ε a % % % % Therefore, after five iterations we obtain a root estimate of with an approximate error of.357%, which is below the stopping criterion of 1%. 5.7 A graph of the function can be generated with MATLAB >> x[-.5:.1:1.5]; >> fsin(x)-x.^3; >> plot(x,f);grid This plot indicates that a nontrivial root (i.e., nonzero) is located at about.9.

8 8 Using bisection, the first iteration is f (.5) f (.75).35446( ).967 Therefore, the root is in the second interval and the lower guess is redefined as x l.75. The second iteration is ε a 1% 14.9%.875 f (.75) f (.875).59764(.97616).5359 Because the product is positive, the root is in the second interval and the lower guess is redefined as x l.875. All the iterations are displayed in the following table: i x l f(x l ) x u f(x u ) f( ) ε a % % % % Consequently, after five iterations we obtain a root estimate of with an approximate error of 1.69%, which is below the stopping criterion of %. The result can be checked by substituting it into the original equation to verify that it is close to zero.

The second iteration is ε a 1% 4.86%.875 f (.5) f (.875) ( ) Consequently, the root is in the second interval and the lower guess is redefined as x l.875. All the iterations are displayed in the following table: i x l x u f(x l ) f( ) f(x l ) f( ) ε a % % Thus, after three iterations, we obtain a root estimate of 1.65 with an approximate error of 17.65%. (c) Using false position, the first iteration is.759(.5 ) f (.5) f ( ) (.75678).6797 Therefore, the root is in the first interval and the upper guess is redefined as x u The second iteration is

The second iteration is ε a 1% 5% f ( 1.5) f ().3946(.6189).1864 Therefore, the root is in the first interval and the upper guess is redefined as x u. All the iterations are displayed in the following table: i x l f(x l ) x u f(x u ) f( ) ε a % % % % % % % After eight iterations, we obtain a root estimate of with an approximate error of.5%. (c) Using false position, the first iteration is.8133(.5.5) f (.5) f (.4583) 3.581(.79987) Therefore, the root is in the first interval and the upper guess is redefined as x u The second iteration is.79987( ) ε a 1% 1.96% f (.5) f (.4363) 3.58(.7861) The root is in the first interval and the upper guess is redefined as x u All the iterations are displayed in the following table:

13 13 i x l f(x l ) x u f(x u ) f( ) ε a % % % % % % % % % After ten iterations we obtain a root estimate of.977 with an approximate error of 1.59%. Thus, after ten iterations, the false position method is converging at a very slow pace and is still far from the root in the vicinity of 1.5 that we detected graphically. Discussion: This is a classic example of a case where false position performs poorly and is inferior to bisection. Insight into these results can be gained by examining the plot that was developed in part (a). This function violates the premise upon which false position was based that is, if f(x u ) is much closer to zero than f(x l ), then the root is closer to x u than to x l (recall Figs. 5.8 and 5.9). Because of the shape of the present function, the opposite is true Errata: In the first printing, the solution to the differential equation should have been: S S vm t + k s ln( S / S) Subsequent printings should show the correct solution. The problem amounts to determining the root of f ( m s S) S v t + k ln( S / S) S The following script calls the bisect function (Fig. 5.7) for various values of t in order to generate the solution. S1;vm.5;ks; S - vm * t + ks * log(s / S) - S; t:5;s:5; for i 1:n S(i)bisect(f,.1,1.1,1e-6,1,t(i)); plot(t,s)

14 The function to be solved is (4 + x) f ( x).16 (4 x) (8 x) (a) A plot of the function indicates a root at about x (b) The shape of the function indicates that false position would be a poor choice (recall Fig. 5.9). Bisection with initial guesses of and can be used to determine a root of after 8 iterations with ε a.493%. Note that false position would have required 68 iterations to attain comparable accuracy. i x l x u f(x l ) f( ) f(x l ) f( ) ε a % x % % x % x1-5 4.% x % x1-6.99% x %

Therefore, we must determine the friction factors corresponding to these limits. This can be done with any root location method to yield.1155 and.913. Therefore, we can set our initial guesses as x l.8 and x u.1. Equation (5.6) can be used to determine the number of bisection iterations required to attain an absolute error less than.5,.1.8 log Δx n log E a, d which can be rounded up to 11 iterations.
