The Newton-Raphson iteration $${x_{n + 1}} = {1 \over 2}\left( {{x_n} + {R \over {{x_n}}}} \right)$$ can be used to compute

If the interval of integration is divided into two equal intervals of width $$1.0,$$ the value of the definite integral $$\,\,\int\limits_1^3 {\log _e^x\,\,dx\,\,\,\,} $$ using simpson's one $$-$$ third rule will be

Three values of $$x$$ and $$y$$ are to be fitted in a straight line in the form $$y=a+bx$$ by the method of least squares. Given $$\,\,\,\sum x = 6,\,\,\sum y = 21,\,\,\sum {{x^2} = 14,\,\,\sum {xy} = 46,\,\,\,\,} $$ the values of $$a$$ and $$b$$ are respectively

The following system of equations $$$x+y+z=3,$$$ $$$x+2y+3z=4,$$$ $$$x+4y+kz=6$$$
will not have a unique solution for $$k$$ equal to
