Consider the nonlinear equation f(x) = x³− 2x² − x + 2 = 0.

(a) Verify that x = 1 is a solution.

(b) Convert f(x) = 0 to a fixed point equation g(x) = x where this is not the fixed point iteration implied by Newton’s method, and verify that x = 1 is a fixed point of g(x) = x.

(c) Convert f(x) = 0 to the fixed point iteration implied by Newton’s method and again verify that x = 1 is a fixed point.

(d) Write MATLAB code to iterate on your fixed point iteration as well as the fixed point iteration implied by Newton. Compare these results based on x0 = 1.1. How fast did Newton converge? How fast did your iteration from part b converge (or did it at all)? What does the theory of fixed points tell you about these convergence results?

Let f(x) = x3 − 2x2. Find the point(s) on the graph of f where the tangent line is horizontal. (x, y) = 0 (smaller x-value) (x, y) = (larger x-value) B) A straight line perpendicular to and passing through the point of tangency of the tangent line is called the normal to the curve. Find an equation of the tangent line and the normal to the curve y = x3 - 3x + 1 at the point (3, 19)....

Study the roots of the nonlinear equation f(x) = cos(x) + (1 /(1 + e^2x)) both theoretically and numerically. (a) Plot f(x) on the interval x ∈ [−15, 15] and describe the overall behaviour of the function as well as the number and location of its roots. Use the “zoom” feature of Matlab’s plotting window (or change the axis limits) in order to ensure that you are identifying all roots – you may have to increase your plotting point density...
