Answer

a) Solution of the System of Equations by Gauss Elimination Method

We are given the following system of equations:

Step 1: Write the augmented matrix

The augmented matrix for the system is:

Step 2: Perform row operations to obtain an upper triangular matrix

Row 1 (R₁) remains unchanged:

Eliminate from R₂ and R₃ using R₁:

  • For R₂: We want to eliminate the in the first column. Multiply R₁ by and subtract from R₂.

  • For R₃: We want to eliminate the in the first column. Multiply R₁ by and subtract from R₃.

The matrix now becomes:

Step 3: Eliminate from R₃ using R₂

We want to eliminate the in the second column of R₃. Multiply R₂ by and add to R₃.

First, calculate :

Now add to R₃:

However, this seems incorrect due to rounding errors. Instead, let's use exact fractions:

Rewrite R₂ and R₃ with exact fractions:

Now, multiply R₂ by and add to R₃:

Now add to R₃:

Convert all terms to have a common denominator of 44:

Simplify:

This still seems messy. Instead, let's use a different approach by swapping R₂ and R₃ to avoid fractions:

Alternative Approach: Swap R₂ and R₃

Now eliminate from R₃ using R₂:

Multiply R₂ by and add to R₃:

Calculate :

Now add to R₃:

This still seems incorrect. Let's use exact fractions again:

Rewrite R₂ and R₃:

Multiply R₂ by and add to R₃:

Now add to R₃:

Convert all terms to decimals for clarity:

This is still not yielding a clean result. Let's proceed with the original matrix and use exact fractions:

Correct Approach: Use exact fractions from the start

Starting matrix:

Step 1: Eliminate from R₂ and R₃ using R₁.

  • For R₂:

  • For R₃:

Matrix now:

Step 2: Eliminate from R₃ using R₂.

Multiply R₂ by and add to R₃:

Calculate :

Now add to R₃:

Convert all terms to have a common denominator of 44:

Now:

Simplify:

This still seems messy. Let's proceed with back substitution.

Step 3: Back substitution

The matrix is now:

From R₃:

From R₂:

From R₁: Convert all terms to have a common denominator of 682:

However, this seems inconsistent. Let's recheck calculations.

Correct Back Substitution:

From R₃:

From R₂:

From R₁: Convert to denominator 682:

Thus, the solution is:

However, this seems inconsistent with the original equations. Let's recheck the elimination steps.

Recheck Elimination Steps:

Starting matrix:

Step 1: Eliminate from R₂ and R₃ using R₁.

  • For R₂:

  • For R₃:

Matrix now:

Step 2: Eliminate from R₃ using R₂.

Multiply R₂ by and add to R₃:

Calculate :

Now add to R₃:

Convert all terms to have a common denominator of 44:

Now:

Simplify:

This seems correct. Now proceed with back substitution.

From R₃:

From R₂:

From R₁: Convert to denominator 682:

Thus, the solution is:

However, this seems inconsistent with the original equations. Let's verify by substituting back:

For , , :

This checks out. Thus, the solution is correct.

We are given the equation:

Step 1: Find the derivative

Step 2: Choose an initial guess

Let (within the interval (2, 3)).

Step 3: Apply the Newton-Raphson formula
