Solution of non-linear, linear equations and interpolation

Q1) Define algebraic and transcendental equations with examples.

A1)

There are two types of equations Linear and Non-linear equations. Linear equations are those in which dependent variable y is directly proportional to independent variable x and is of degree one. On the other hand non linear equation are those in which y does not directly proportional to x and of degree more than one.

Ex: +b, where a and b are constant is a linear equation.

is a non-linear equation.

Algebraic Equation:

If f(x) is a pure polynomial, then the equation is called an algebraic equation in x.

Ex:

Transcendental Equation:

If f(x) is an expression contain function as trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic etc. Then is called transcendental equation.

Q2) What do you understand by bisection method?

A2)

Bisection method consists of finding the root of the equation    which lies between a and b (say).

The function is continuous function between a and b and f (a) and f (b) are of opposite signs then there is a least one root between a and b.

Suppose f (a) is negative and f (b) is positive, then the first approximate value of the root is


 

If, then the correct root is .But if, then the root either lies between a and or and b according as is positive or negative, we again bisect the interval as above and the process is repeated the root is found to desired accuracy.
