Formula used:
The golden-search method with two initial guesses,
Evaluated the function at the above two interior points. Two results can occur,
If
If
Calculation:
Consider function
With
Iteration 1: First golden ratio is used to create two interior points as,
The two interior points are as follows:
First point is,
Second point is,
Now, comparing the value of function at these interior points as shown below:
For
For
As
Therefore, the maximum is in the interval defined by

The error at this point can be computed as follow:
Therefore, the domain of x to the left of
For this case,
Iteration 2: Here,
The two new interior points are as follows:
First point is,
Second point is,
Now, comparing the value of function at these interior points as shown below:
For
For
As
For this case,
Now,
Iteration 3: Here,
The two new interior points are as follows:
First interior point is,
Second interior point is,
Now, comparing the value of function at these interior points as shown below:
For
For
As
Therefore, for this case,
Proceeding like this the iterations can be tabulated below as:
Thus, the result converges to true value

For
For
Substitute the value of
And value of function at
Therefore,
And the process continues with a summary shown below in a table:
Thus, after four iterations result is converging to true value
(c)

To calculate: The maximum of the function
Answer to Problem 8P
Solution:
The maximum of the function
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The function
Formula used:
Newton Method is similar to Newton Raphson as it does not require initial guesses that bracket the optimum solution.
For any function
Calculation:
Consider function
With initial guesses
First and second derivatives of function that is,
