Newton’s approximation is not always well behaved. Consider in the assignment how we could get to a different root in our approximations. Quadratics are well behaved, but anything beyond may not be. We will consider the function y = x ^3 − x
1. What are the roots of the function?
2. What is the derivative of the function?
3. Describe the function’s shape between 0.447 and 0.448. Find an online Newton’s Method calculator. I would recommend https://www.desmos.com/calculator/kgwfrkiyh8
4. Look at the values between 0.447 and 0.448 in increments of 0.0001. For these 10 values, determine which of the 3 roots Newton’s method converges to.
5. Can you guess why the it behaves this way?
6. At which step in Newton’s Method does the problem occur?
7. Why is that area special?

Newton's Method in MATLAB During this module, we are going to use Newton's method to compute the root(s) of the function f(x) = x° + 3x² – 2x – 4 Since we need an initial approximation ('guess') of each root to use in Newton's method, let's plot the function f(x) to see many roots there are, and approximately where they lie. Exercise 1 Use MATLAB to create a plot of the function f(x) that clearly shows the locations of its...
Consider the following statements.
(i) The Laplace Transform of
11tet2 cos(et2)
is well-defined for some values of s.
(ii) The Laplace Transform is an integral transform that turns
the problem of solving constant coefficient ODEs into an algebraic
problem. This transform is particularly useful when it comes to
studying problems arising in applications where the forcing
function in the ODE is piece-wise continuous but not necessarily
continuous, or when it comes to studying some Volterra equations
and integro-differential equations.
(iii)...
Problem 4.1 - Odd Bound States for the Finite Square Well Consider the finite square well potential of depth Vo, V(x) = -{ S-V., –a sx sa 10, else In lecture we explored the even bound state solutions for this potential. In this problem you will explore the odd bound state solutions. Consider an energy E < 0 and define the (real, positive) quantities k and k as 2m E K= 2m(E + V) h2 h2 In lecture we wrote...
Part A - SIR model for the spread of disease Overview. This part of the assignment uses a mix of theory and data to estimate the contact number c=b/k of an epidemic and hence to estimate the infection-spreading parameter b. The point is that once you know the value of b for a certain disease and population, you can use it in your model the next time there is an cpidemic, thus cnabling you to make predictions about the demand...
While reading the story, consider the culture (or sub culture)
and related communication styles the story reveals.
Consider too, possibly, the values, behavioral norms, social
practices, social artifacts, etc.
After reading the story through the lens of this idea, please
compose a full academic length (evidence-based 7 to 11 sentence
long) paragraph which addresses the following prompt:
What does the story reveal about the culture it portrays
and/OR the communication styles the culture shares?
In other words, what does the...
