Question: PRETEND you are trying to computationally solve for the root of the Optimal Thrust equation f ( T ) = 0 using the secant method
PRETEND you are trying to computationally solve for the root of the Optimal Thrust equation fT
using the secant method starting with the initial bracket T T
a Calculate the values of tolX and tolf you would use for the two convergence criteria,
xk xk tolX
and fxk
tolf
if you were to write your own secant method in MATLAB.
Now pretend youve completed iterations for T and the last two iterations have values T
and T For the exact solution use the value you got for T in problem above
to answer the following and SHOW YOUR WORK!!:
b What is the just plain old error in the last iteration, T
c What is the proxy for the error for the last iteration?
d What is the residual error for the last iteration?
e Based on all your values above, explain whether the process has converged yet or not.
