Suppose we modify the bisection method into the following variation: for each step, with bracketing interval [a, b], approximations are chosen at the location (2a + b)/3, but the interval is cut into two at the different location (a +3b)/4. (a) Calculate the first 2 approximations co,c for this variation when f(x)cos.- with starting interval [0,2]. (b) Explain why the absolute error of the approximation do is . Then similarly bound the absolute errors of the approximations cn

Let fi be a continuous function with different signs at a, b, with a < band let (cn be bisection method's sequence of approximations on f using starting interval a, b. Let f2 be a continuous function with different signs at a, b, with a< b and let dnn be bisection method's sequence of approximations on f2 using starting interval a, b (a) Prove (perhaps by induction) if cdk, for some k, then c d, for all i < k....
1. (25 pts) Let f(x) be a continuous function and suppose we are already given the Matlab function "f.", with header "function y fx)", that returns values of f(x) Given the following header for a Matlab function: function [pN] falseposition(c,d,N) complete the function so that it outputs the approximation pN, of the method of false position, using initial guesses po c,pd. You may assume c<d and f(x) has different signs at c and d, however, make sure your program uses...

Consider the function f (x) = ln (1 + x). (a) Enter the degree-n term in the Taylor Series around x = 0. (b) Enter the error term En (z) which will also be a function of x and n. (c) Find an upper bound for the absolute value of the error term when x > 0. It may help to remember that z is between x and 0. (d) Use this formula to find how many terms are needed...

For each n E N, define a function fn A - R. Suppose that each function fn is uniformly continuous. Moreover, suppose there is a function f : A R such that for all є 0, there exists a N, and for all x E A, we have lÍs(x)-f(x)|く for all n > N. Then f is uniformly continuous. Note: We could say that the "sequence of functions" f "converges to the function" f. These are not defined terms for...
