b)

Initiate the finding of the maximum value for g(x) = (px2 +\jex within the interval of
[-2, -1.8] by estimating the root of the equation -^- = 0. Apply the Newton's method to

c)

Show algebraically that there exists a root of x* + 2x2 - 4 = 0 in the interval of

[1.17,1.18]. Hence, determine the number of iterations required to estimate the root
accurate to 0.0001 by using the bisection method within the given interval.
