Q 1

A function of two variables is given by, f (x,y) = 4x3 + 7xy4 - 5y2 + 8.

Determine,  fxx + fyx at x = 6.62 and y = 1.21, giving your answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer:

Q2

Consider the initial value problem,

 f(x,y) = y(18.17 - y),           y(0) = 12.

The exact solution of the problem increases from y(0) =12 to y = 18.17 as x increases without limit. Determine the minimum upper bound of h for the classical 4th-order Runge Kutta method to be absolutely stable for this problem. Give your answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer:

Q 3

An initial-value problem is given by the differential equation,

f(x,y) = –20xy2,          y(1) = 1.

Use the classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with a step-size of h = 0.02, to obtain the approximate value of y(1.02). Give your answer to 6 decimal places.

Answer:

Q4

A function of three variables is given by, f (x,y,t) = x3y2sin t + 4x2t + 5yt2 + 4xycos t. Find ft (8.18,0.58,3.16) giving your answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer:

Q5

An initial-value problem is given by the differential equation,

f(x,y) = x(1 - y2),          y(1) = 0.48.

Use the Euler-trapezoidal method with a step-size of h = 0.1, to obtain the approximate value of y(1.1). Give your answer to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

Q6

An initial-value problem is given by the differential equation, f(x,y) = x + y,         

y(0) = 0.45

The Euler-midpoint method is used to find an approximate value to y(0.1) with a step size of h = 0.1. Then use the integrating factor method, to find the exact value of y(0.1). Hence, determine the global error, giving your answer to 5 decimal places.

Note that Global Error = Approximate Value - Exact Value.

Q7

A function of two variables is given by, f(x,y) = e2x-3y

Find the tangent approximation to f(0.778,0.647) near (0,0), giving your answer to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

Q8

A function is given by, f(x,y) = x4 - y2 - 2x2 + 2y - 7 Using the second derivative test for functions of two variables, classify the points (0,1) and (-1,1) as local maximum, local minimum or inconclusive.

1.

(0,1) inconclusive, (-1,1) local minimum.

2.

(0,1) local maximum, (-1,1) local minimum.

3.

(0,1) inconclusive, (-1,1) local maximum.

4.

(0,1) local minimum, (-1,1) local maximum.

5.

(0,1) local maximum, (-1,1) inconclusive.

Q10

A function is given by, f(x) = e-3x

Write down the third-order Taylor approximation for f(x) about x = 0. Hence, evaluate f(0.235) giving your answer to 4 decimal places.
