Numerical solutions of equations
Introduction• This chapter gives you several
methods which can be used to solve complicated equations to given levels of accuracy
• These are similar to methods which computers and calculators will use, and hence can be used in computer programming
Teachings for Exercise 2A
Numerical solutions of equationsYou can solve equations of the
form f(x) = 0 using interval bisection
Interval bisection is a variation on Trial and Improvement which you will have
seen at GCSE level
Interval Bisection is an iterative process which allows us to find a root to
whatever degree of accuracy we wish (usually 1-2 decimal places!)
An iterative process is one which is a short set of instructions which are then
repeated as many times as needed
As a result such processes can be used in computers and calculators so
they can solve equations
2A
Numerical solutions of equationsYou can solve equations of the
form f(x) = 0 using interval bisection
Use Interval Bisection to find √11 to 1 decimal place
Set this up as an equation:
2A
𝑥=√11𝑥2=11
𝑥2−11=0
Square both sides
Subtract 11
𝑓 (𝑥 )=𝑥2−11
𝑓 (3 )=(3)2−11
¿−2
𝑓 (4 )=(4)2−11
¿5
Sub in integers until we find a change of sign
So an solution lies between 3 and 4
Numerical solutions of equationsYou can solve equations of the form
f(x) = 0 using interval bisection
Use Interval Bisection to find √11 to 1 decimal place
So a solution lies between 3 and 4.
Now we set up a table, subbing these 2 values into f(x), as well as the
midpoint of these
When you have found the midpoint and substituted it in, choose the positive and negative answers
closest to 0
The answer will be between these. Now repeat the process for these 2
numbers

3.3125−0.027 3.375 0.3913.343750.181
Our answer must be between 3.3125 and 3.34375
To one decimal place, the answer therefore must be 3.3!
Numerical solutions of equationsYou can solve equations of the
form f(x) = 0 using interval bisection
Show that a root of the equation:
lies between 0 and 1
Use interval bisection 4 times to find an approximation for this root

Teachings for Exercise 2B
Numerical solutions of equationsYou can solve equations of the
form f(x) = 0 using linear interpolation
In linear interpolation, you first draw a sketch of the function between 2
intervals
Then, you draw a straight line between the interval coordinates (this will be a rough approximation to the
curve
You can then use similar triangles to find the place the straight line crosses
the x-axis (the ‘root’ as it were)
You then update the interval and repeat the process…

Numerical solutions of equationsYou can solve equations of the
form f(x) = 0 using linear interpolation
A solution of the equation:
lies in the interval [1,2]. Use linear interpolation to find this root, correct
to one decimal place.

Now sketch the graph between x = 1 and x = 2 (the limits you were given)
It does not have to be really accurate!
(1,-4)

After sketching the graph between the limits, draw a straight line between them
The place this crosses the x-axis is an approximation for the root
You can call it x and then use similar triangles to find its value

Imagine creating triangles using the x-axis and the coordinates marked
Label the sides, using x as the place the straight line crosses the x-axis
These two triangles are similar – ie) They have the same angles (both have a right angle and two other pairs that are the same – you can see this from the vertically opposite angles at the centre and the ‘alternate’ angles ta the top and bottom!)
In similar triangles, a long side divided by a shorter side will give the same answer (provided that equivalent sides are used!)

away from a root rather than towards it
Usually, choosing a different first approximation will correct this!
