Introduction
Determination of roots an equation of the form f (x) = 0 has a great importance in the field of science and engineering.
in this topic we consider some simple methods of obtaining approximate roots of algebraic and transcendental ( non algebraic ) equations
Specific Objectives
You should be able to :
- show the location of the root of the equation of the form f (x) = 0
- find the solution of the equation f (x) = 0 using
- bisection method
- iteration method
- Newton - Raphson
You will achieve these objectives by undertaking the following activities :
- attempting to solve given exercise
- study learning materials attached
- read further from the internet, library etc
Introduction
This module unit deals with materials and their application in plant machines and equipments.
Specific Objectives
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to :
- define a spring
- state the function of springs
- state types of springs
- derive expression of stress for springs
- derive expression of deflection for springs
- apply the expressions in calculations
The learner will achieve this objectives by undertaking the following activities :
- reading learning materials attached
- watch a video presentation on springs
- research more on the topic from the internet and library
