1. The displacement of a structure is defined by the following equation for a damped oscillti
y = 9e-ktcoswt
Where k = 0.7 and w = 4. Use the MOSS to determine the root to e = 0.001%.
2. Given f(x) = -2x* – 1.6x* + 12x + 1. Use bisection to determine the maximum of this function. Employ
initial guesses of X =0, X2 = 1, and perform iterations until the approximate relative error falls below 0.05%.
3. The polynomial f(x) = 0.0074x* – 0.284x² + 3.355x? – 12.183x+ 5 has a real root between 15 and 20.
Apply the Newton's Raphson Method to this function using an initial guess of xo = 16.15
