Question

Problem

f(x)=3x1x5f(x) = 3\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{x} - 5, where x>0x>0.

The equation f(x)=0f(x) = 0 has a root α\alpha in the interval [3,3.8][3, 3.8]

(a) Starting with the end points of this interval, use interval bisection to determine α\alpha to one decimal place.

(4)

(b) (i) Determine f(x)f'(x).

(2)

(ii) Using your answer to part (a) as a first approximation to α\alpha, apply the Newton-Raphson process once to calculate a further approximation for α\alpha, giving your answer to 4 decimal places.

(2)

中文翻译

f(x)=3x1x5f(x) = 3\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{x} - 5,其中 x>0x>0

方程 f(x)=0f(x) = 0 在区间 [3,3.8][3, 3.8] 内有根 α\alpha

(a) 从该区间的端点开始,使用区间二分法将 α\alpha 确定到 1 位小数。

(4)

(b) (i) 求 f(x)f'(x)

(2)

(ii) 使用 (a) 的答案作为 α\alpha 的初始近似值,应用一次牛顿-拉夫森过程计算 α\alpha 的进一步近似值,答案精确到 4 位小数。

每次计算当前区间中点的函数值,并利用端点函数值异号缩小含根区间。为了确定到 1 位小数,最后还要检查舍入分界点 3.153.15,确认根位于其左侧。

At the initial endpoints,

f(3)=0.1371809f(3)=-0.1371809\ldots

and

f(3.8)=0.5849187.f(3.8)=0.5849187\ldots.

The successive bisection values are

Thus the root lies below the rounding boundary 3.153.15, so to one decimal place,

α=3.1.\boxed{\alpha=3.1}.

把根式和倒数分别写成 x1/2x^{1/2}x1x^{-1},再逐项使用幂函数求导法则。注意 x1-x^{-1} 求导后变成正的 x2x^{-2}

答题过程

Writing

f(x)=3x1/2x15,f(x)=3x^{1/2}-x^{-1}-5,

we obtain

f(x)=32x1/2+x2=32x+1x2.\begin{align*} f'(x) =&\,\frac32x^{-1/2}+x^{-2}\\ =&\,\boxed{\frac{3}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac1{x^2}}. \end{align*}

(b)(ii)

解法一

思路

展开

使用 (a) 的近似值 x0=3.1x_0=3.1,代入 Newton–Raphson 公式 x1=x0f(x0)f(x0)x_1=x_0-\frac{f(x_0)}{f'(x_0)},只迭代一次并在最后保留 4 位小数。

答题过程

展开

Using x0=3.1x_0=3.1 from part (a),

x1=x0f(x0)f(x0)=3.133.113.15323.1+1(3.1)2=3.1424011\begin{align*} x_1 =&\,x_0-\frac{f(x_0)}{f'(x_0)}\\ =&\,3.1- \frac{3\sqrt{3.1}-\frac1{3.1}-5} {\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3.1}}+\frac1{(3.1)^2}}\\ =&\,3.1424011\ldots \end{align*}

Therefore, the further approximation is

α=3.1424\boxed{\alpha=3.1424}

to 4 decimal places.
