Professional Development and Project WorkAssignment 3 Main objective of the assessment: The objective of this task is to produce a document, maximum ten pages long (not including appendices), using LaTeX. The document should address questions (detailed below) on Taylor polynomials and root-finding algorithms, these ideas providing the building block for future work on numerical methods for differential equations.Description of the Assessment: Each student must submit (as a .pdf file) a report, written using LaTeX (article style). The maximum length of the report is 10 pages (not including appendices, for which there is no upper limit on length). This report should be clearly titled, and should contain the following sections:1.Introduction: In this section you should introduce the report, and explain what you are going to do in it.2.Polynomial approximation: In this section, you should answer the following questions. This section should include at least one table of results, at least one figure, and at least one reference to the wider literature:β€’Describe how and why one might approximate a function by a Taylor polynomial;β€’As an example, determine a Taylor polynomial approximating ln|cos(π‘₯π‘₯)| near π‘₯π‘₯=0and containing at least three non-zero terms;β€’Show via appropriate plots how the accuracy of your Taylor polynomial relates to the degree of the polynomial, and to the value of π‘₯π‘₯;β€’Explain how your polynomial approximation could be used to calculate an approximation to the value of:οΏ½ βˆ’ln |cos (π‘₯π‘₯)|π‘π‘βˆ’π‘π‘π‘‘π‘‘π‘₯π‘₯,where𝑐𝑐=(25 +π‘šπ‘š)πœ‹πœ‹90, with π‘šπ‘š the last digit of your student number, and how the accuracy of this approximation depends on the degree of the polynomial. Illustrate your findings using an appropriate table of results.3.Finding roots to nonlinear equations: In this section, you should answer the following questions. This section should include at least one table of results, at least one figure, and at least one reference to the wider literature:β€’Describe how you would find all solutions to the equation:π‘₯π‘₯3+π‘Žπ‘Žπ‘₯π‘₯2βˆ’π‘₯π‘₯+𝑏𝑏=0,where π‘Žπ‘Ž and 𝑏𝑏 are the next to last and the last nonzero digits of your student number, using:i.The bisection method;ii.Fixed point iteration;iii.Newton’s method.β€’To help you choose a suitable interval or initial guess, plot the function using MATLAB.β€’Explain the steps of each method, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each scheme, present a table of results for each approach and explain your findings.
