Chapter A.5, Problem 1P

In Problems 1 through 8, compute the successive approximation formula to compute y n ( x ) for n _ 4 . Then write the exponential series for which these approximations are partial (perhaps with rile first term or two missing; for example, e x 1 = x + 1 2 x 2 + 1 6 x 3 + 1 24 x 4 + ... ).

d y d x = y , y ( 0 ) = 3

Realize the following approximation of the sin(x) function.. sin x ~ 00 L i=0 (-1)⁰ (2i + 1)! -x2i+1 = x x3 x5 x7 + 3! 5! 7! The approximation is based on the Maclaurin series expansion, and it becomes an equality (i.e. not only an approximation) as the summation continues to infinity. Your program will check if the approximation error falls below 1e-15, and stops if so. Otherwise, it will continue to a maximum of 100 summations. Your program should ask the user about the angle (in radians) which they want to find the sin() of. Notice that the user will only input an angle in radians and in the range [0-pi]. Use a while loop to answer the question. Use the following definition for the approximation error: Error = abs(true value - approximation) / true value Hint: you need two loops, where one goes through the summation, and the other is dedicated to calculating the factorials. Hint: The angle must be expressed in radians and must be in the range [0-pi]. Use such numbers when testing…
You solve a non-singular system of 1,000 linear equations with 1,000 unknowns. Your code uses the Gauss-Jordan algorithm with partial pivoting using double precision numbers and arithmetics. Why would the 2-norm of the residual of your solution not be zero?
Using MATLAB, develop a computer program for the finite difference solution with general θ scheme for the 1D consolidation of a uniform layer of soil. Compare the results for θ=0, 0.5, 2/3 and 1.0 for α=0.49 and α=0.51 against the analytical solution of Terzaghi’s equation for T=0.5. Apply the program to both cases of double draining layer and single draining layer.
