How do we solve Simultaneous Equations?

• We can graph the equations and look for intersection(s) if they exist.

• We can use algebraic Substitution

• We can use algebraic Elimination

• We can also use our graphics calculators to do the above methods.

In NCEA Level 1 and 2 we saw these methods for 2-Dimensional shapes (like a line and a parabola).

This year we will also investigate 3-Dimensional planes. Three equations with three unknowns!

Three equations with three unknowns

•3 unknowns (x,y,z) are like point (x,y) but we also give a third value z as the “height”.

•If ax + by = constant is the equation of a line

•ax + by + cz = constant is the equation of a “plane”. This is a surface (2-Dimensional) in a 3-D space.

•We can also hold a piece of paper in any direction and describe it’s surface as being on a plane of equation ax + by + cz = 0.

Numerical Solution of Equations:

Some equations cannot be solved exactly.

We now need a method to attack these problems so we can get an approximate answer.

It is very important in our approximation to know how far we are away from the exact value. We need to have a range of values that contain the exact solution.

We will study 3 main Methods to solve these difficult problems:

1. Graphically

2. The Bisection Method

3. The Newton-Raphson Method

We keep repeating this process until we are happy with how small our interval has become.

“We keep performing more iterations”

Page 35: How do we solve Simultaneous Equations? We can graph the equations and look for intersection(s) if they exist. We can use algebraic Substitution We can

Bisection Method

• We make use of the “change of sign” to find out if the solution is contained within our interval.

• The Bisection is very slow but it is easy to use and always works on any continuous function.

• Sometimes we need to watch if there are more than one solution we need to start with an interval that contains the solution we want.

The Newton Raphson Method

Page 37: How do we solve Simultaneous Equations? We can graph the equations and look for intersection(s) if they exist. We can use algebraic Substitution We can

The Newton Raphson Method:

• The Newton-Raphson Method uses tangents to the graph of a function to generate successive approximations to a root of the given function.

• The calculations are relatively easy and we approach the root very quickly compare to bisection method (as long as we choose a good starting value).

Newton-Raphson Method

• Pick a starting point x1.

• Draw a tangent from the graph at x1 to the x-axis. This is now our new approximation x2.

• Repeat the process until you are within desired accuracy.

Page 40: How do we solve Simultaneous Equations? We can graph the equations and look for intersection(s) if they exist. We can use algebraic Substitution We can

Cases where the Newton-Raphson method can fail

• When the function has more than one root, convergence may be to an unexpected value.

• When the starting point is a turning point of the function, then the tangent is horizontal. Newton-Raphson formula would be undefined.

The net profit function from a juice bar can be modelled by the equation p=-0.1t0.5 + 4t-31

Where t is the time in years and p is the net profit in thousands of dollars.

To find out after how many years the juice bar makes a net profit of $30,000 it is necessary to solve the equation

-0.1t0.5 + 4t-31 =0 Use either bisection method or Newton-Raphson method, to

solve the equation to find after how many years the net profit is $30,000.

You must state your starting values, give your answer correct to two decimal places.

Since there is a change of sign in the function between x=1 and x=2 it is reasonable to assume that a real root of f(x)=0 lies in the interval, but when an attempt is made to find the root by the bisection method it does not exist.

There is a vertical asymtote at x=5/3. For values less than x=3/5, the expression is negative and getting smaller as x approaches 5/3. for values greater than x=5/3 the equation is positive and getting larger as x approaches x=5/3.

There is a change of sign, but because of the existence of the vertical asymptote there is no real root between 1 and 2.

This tells us that the maximum of f(x,y) = 28 and it occurs when x = 2 and y = 8.

Incidentally the minimum of f(x,y) = -8 when x = 2 and y = -4

A farmer has 10 hecters of land in which to plant two crops, corn and wheat and he has to plant at least 7 hectares of his land to make it profitable.

The farmer has only $1200 to spend on seed and each hectare of corn costs $200 and each hectare of wheat $100

The farmer also wants to get the planting done in 12 hours. It takes him an hour to plant a hectare of corn and 2 hours to plant a hectare of wheat.

The profit the farmer makes is $500 per hectare from corn and $300 per hectare from wheat.

Work out how many hectares of corn and wheat the farmer should plant to maximise profit.
