Bisection Newton - Quadratures












0














The problem states the following:
Find with at least 10 digitis of precisión the roots of the following equation:
$int_x^{x^2} !e^{-t^2},mathrm{d}t = x^5 -3x^2 + 1 $ in the closed Interval [-1,1].



We know that we should use the Gaussian Method of Numerical Integration and the Bisection Method.



However we planned on using the Legendre-Gauss Quadrature, to first approximate the value of the integral, then use the bisection method to find the roots of the equation $int_x^{x^2} !e^{-t^2},mathrm{d}t - x^5 + 3x^2 - 1 = 0 $



Is it an accurate approach? If so, when finding the weights and points to use in the Legendre-Gauss Quadrature we note that the Interval of the integral goes from $x$ to $x^2$. Does the LGQ method work still?



Thank you.

          It is still possible to use the quadrature method, call



          $$
          t = frac{xu}{2}(x - 1) + frac{x}{2}(x + 1)
          $$



          so that $t(u = -1) = x$ and $t(u = +1) = x^2$, the integral then becomes



          $$
          int_x^{x^2} e^{-t^2}{rm d}t = frac{x}{2}(x - 1)int_{-1}^1 expleft[- left(frac{xu}{2}(x - 1) + frac{x}{2}(x + 1)right)^2 right]{rm d}u
          $$



          That being said, it is actually not necessary to calculate the integral at all. Remember that



          $$
          {rm erf}(x) = frac{2}{sqrt{pi}} int_0^x e^{-t^2}{rm d}t
          $$



          So that the problem reduces to



          $$
          frac{sqrt{pi}}{2}[{rm erf}(x^2) - {rm erf}(x)] = x^5 - 3x^2 + 1
          $$
