MATERIAL
●● The incremental search method is typically very fast, even when
employing a high degree of precision. (T/F)
Answer: False
●● A bracket with opposite-signed function values always contains
exactly one root. (T/F)
Answer: False
●● Inspect the line of code below and match each item with its
definition from the drop down boxes:
Answer: x1
the root of the function
fzero
the name of the in-built MATLAB function
f
the function to be evaluated
, 100
the initial guess for the root location
●● The Newton-Raphson method may not converge. (T/F)
Answer: True
●● MATLAB's built-in fzero function requires three arguments: a
function handle, a value for the left bracket and a value for the right
bracket. (T/F)
Answer: False
●● MATLAB's fminbnd function creates two matrices that can be used
to create a 3D mesh plot of a function of two independent variables.
(T/F)
Answer: False
●● In general, a numerical solution is an exact solution. (T/F)
Answer: False
●● ___ suppresses outputs to the command window and separates rows
in an array.
Answer: ; (semicolon)
