Newton-Raphson method is used to find the roots of the equation, $${\,{x^3} + 2{x^2} + 3x - 1 = 0}$$ If the initial guess is $${x_0} = 1,$$ then the value of $$x$$ after $${2^{nd}}$$ iteration is ___________.

Consider an ordinary differential equation $${{dx} \over {dt}} = 4t + 4.\,\,$$ If $$x = {x_0}$$ at $$t=0,$$ the increment in $$x$$ calculated using Runge-Kutta fourth order multi-step method with a step size of $$\Delta t = 0.2$$ is

The value of $$\int\limits_{2.5}^4 {\ln \left( x \right)} $$ calculated using the Trapezoidal rule with five sub-intervals is

The definite integral $$\,\int\limits_1^3 {{1 \over x}} dx\,\,$$ is evaluated using Trapezoidal rule with a step size of $$1.$$ The correct answer is
