2. Use Broyden's method to solve the nonlinear system
x² + y²+sin(x + y)
x+y+cos(xy)
= a
=
= 5
where a is the number formed by the first two digits of your SUID.
Try at least two different starting points (or more, if needed to find a solution).
Report the outcome of running the method for each starting point. Was the root
you found always the same?
The correct answer is Ccould you show me how to do it by finding a0 and and akas well as setting up the piecewise function and integrating
This is an example only. What can be a simialr equation with differnet numbers using logs and can have a mistake in one of the steps and what will be the correct way to solve it. Thanks
