Mathematics (maths) - Numerical Differentiation and Integration - Important Short Objective Question and Answers: Numerical Differentiation and Integration

1. State the disadvantages of Taylor series method.

 

Sol:

 

In the differential equation = f(x,y) the function f(x,y) may have a complicated

 

algebraical structure. Then the evaluation of higher order derivatives may become tedious. This is the demerit of this method.

 

2.      Which   is   better   Taylor’s   method   or   R.K   met

 

Sol:

 

R.K methods do not require prior calculation of higher derivatives of y(x), as the Taylor method does. Since the differential equations using in application are often complicated, the

 

 

 

calculation of derivatives may be difficult. Also R.K formulas involve the computations of f(x,y) at various positions instead of derivatives and this function occurs in the given equation.

 

3. What is a predictor- collector method of solving a differential equation?

 

Sol:

predictor- collector methods are methods which require the values of y at xn, xn-1, xn-2,…

for computing the values of y at xn+1. We first use a formula to find the values of y at xn+1 and this is known as a predictor formula. The value of y so get is improved or corrected by another formula known as corrector formula.

 

4. Define a difference Quotient.

 

Sol:

 

A difference quotient is the quotient obtained by dividing the difference between two values of a function, by the difference between the two corresponding values of the independent.
