1. Find an interval of unit length which contains the smallest positive root of the equation
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 4 − 𝑥 − 10 = 0. Taking the end points of this interval as initial approximations,
do two iterations each of the Secant method and Regula Falsi Method.
If 𝑥 = 0.278143 × 104 and 𝑦 = 0.278456 × 104 , find the number of significant digits
in 𝑥 + 𝑦, 𝑥 − 𝑦, 𝑥𝑦.
4. Generate the forward and backward difference table for the data
x 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8
f(x) 0.12 0.46 0.74 0.9 1.2
Hence interpolate the values of 𝑓(0.1) and 𝑓(0.7) by using Gregory Newton forward and
backward differences Interpolation formulae respectively.
