Pure mathematic 2 coursework Introduction: In this coursework, I am going to solve equations by using the Numerical Methods. Numerical methods are used to solve equation that cannot be solved algebraically e.g. quadratic equations ax²+bx+c=0 can be solved using this formula: x= -b± V b² - 4ac 2a Therefore numerical methods would not be used for quadratic equations. I will be working with equation which don't have a formula to solve it. There are three methods, which I will be using: · Change of sign method · Newton-Raphson method · Rearranging f(x) = 0 in the form x = g(x) Objective: Our object is to investigate the solution of equations using the three different methods. To solve an equation we must find all its roots; a method which misses one or more roots will fail to solve the equation. Change of sign method: There are three ways in which we can do this method which are:> Decimal searcher> Interval...
