MAE-284 Exam 2026/2027 with Complete Solution (6pages)

Bracketing Methods always require two initial estimates (T/F) - answerTrue Discontinuous functions can result in a bracket with opposite sgned function values having an even number of root (T/F) - answerTrue Bracketing methods always converge, but usually do so more slowly than open methods (T/F) - answerTrue The secant method is similar to the Newton-Raphson method, but uses an approximation of the derivative (T/F) - answerTrue MATLAB's built in fzero function is based on the Newton-Raphson method (T/F) - answerFalse Suppose you are given the [a,b]= mae284(p,q,r,s) and the user doesn't specify the inpt value for 's', which line of code can be used to define a default value of s=100 wihtin the function? - answerif nargin <4 s=100; f(x) =0 f(x)=c>
