Numworks: Quadratic Equation and Newton's Method - Do Guesses Matter?

Numworks: Quadratic Equation and Newton's Method - Do Guesses Matter?  

Introduction

Let A, B, C, be positive, non-zero coefficients of the quadratic equation:

Ax^2 + Bx - C = 0 with A > 0, B > 0, C > 0

First, start with an initial guess x0 = 0.  Count how many iterations it takes for the method to reach a suitable answer.   For this experiment, we will use a tolerance of 8 decimal places (tol = 1E-8), setting a maximum of 200 iterations.   

Consider a "reduced" equation to obtain guesses for the original equation:  

Ax^2 - C = 0

Hence, our initial guesses are x0 = √(C/A) and x0 = -√(C/A)

Using Newton's Method to determine the roots with a guess of x0:

x_n+1 = x_n - [Ax^2 + Bx - C]/[2Ax + B]

So which of the following guesses gets us to a solution faster?

x0 = 0

x0 = √(C/A) 

x0 = -√(C/A)


The Python script below tests the question.  

Python Test Script:  guesttest.py


from math import *

def testf(a,b,c,w0):

 n=1

 w1=1

 while abs(w1)>1e-8

  w1=(a*w0**2+b*w0-c)/(2*a*w0+b)

  w0=w0-w1

  n=n+1

  if n==201:

   print('Exceeded iterations')

   break

 print('Root: '+str(w0)

 print('Iterations: '+str(n))

 return


# EWS 2020-08-10

print("y=ax**2+bx-c=0")

print("a>0,b>0,c>0")

a=float(input('a? '))

b=float(input('b? '))

c=float(input('c? '))

# initial conditions

x1=0

x2=sqrt(c/a)

x3=-sqrt(c/a)

# results

print('x1: '+str(x1))

testf(a,b,c,x1)

print('----')

print('x2: '+str(x2))

testf(a,b,c,x2)

print('----')

print('x3: '+str(x3))

testf(a,b,c,x3)

print('----')

Radio Shack EC-4019: Catalan and Borel Triangles

 Radio Shack EC-4019:   Catalan and Borel Triangles 

Introduction:   Catalan and Borel Triangles 

Catalan numbers counts a number of lattice paths, straight lines with segment of length 1, in the Cartesian plane from the origin (0,0) to the point (n,k).  There path does not go above the line y = x.  

Entries in Borel's Triangle depend on the entries of Catalan's Triangle.  There are various interpretations of how counting relate to Borel's triangle, including counting the number of Dyck path of semi-length n+1, counting path in leaf-market binary trees, and set of binary trees with n+1 vertices with k marked vertices with no markings on the tree's right spine.  Please see the source below for more details.  


Formula Derivation

You can find any entry in Catalan's triangle by the formula:

C = (n - k + 1) / (n + 1) * COMB(n + k, n)

where:


1.  k ≤ n, I do believe that k and n need to be integers, and

2.  COMB is the nCr, combination function, where for any x and y:

COMB(x, y) = x! / ( y! * (x - y)! )

We can simplify the formula for Catalan's triangle by:

= (n - k + 1) / (n + 1) * COMB(n + k, n)

= (n - k + 1) / (n + 1) * (n + k)! / (n! * (n + k - n)!)

= (n - k + 1) / (n + 1) * (n + k)! / (n! * k!)

= (n - k + 1) / (n + 1) * (n + k)! /n! * 1/k!


Since (n + 1) * n! = (n + 1) * n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * ... = (n + 1)!

= (n - k + 1) * (n + k)! / ((n + 1)! * (n - k)!)


Observe that

C / (n-k+1) = (n + k)! / ((n + 1)! * (n - k)!)


Similarly, you can find any entry in Borel's triangle by the formula:


= 1 / (n + 1) * COMB(2n + 2, n - k) * COMB(n + k, n)

= 1/ (n + 1) * (2n + 2)! / ((n - k)! * (n + 2 + k)!) * (n + k)!/(n! * k!)

= (2n + 2)! / ((n - k)! * (n + 2 + k)!) * (n + k)!/((n+1)! * k!)

= (2n + 2)! / ((n - k)! * (n + k + 2)!) * Ca


Radio Shack EC-4019 Programs:  Catalan and Borel Triangle Numbers


To run the program:

1.  Store k in memory register 1.  Keystrokes:  k [ Kin ]  [ 1 ]

2.  Store n in memory register 2.  Keystrokes:  n [ Kin ] [ 2 ]

3.  To find the Catalan Triangle, run program I.   

4.  To find the Borel triangle number, run program I, then immediately run program II.  Program II depends on the result of program I.  


Make sure that k ≤ n, as the programs assume that your inputs are valid.

Using Grand Total and Independent Memory for Complex Invoicing

Using Grand Total and Independent Memory for Complex Invoicing 

Introduction

Portable desktop (usually solar powered) calculators usually have at least two memory registers:  independent memory (M) and grand total (GT).  

Adding calculations to the independent memory by pressing the memory plus key    [ M+ ].  

Adding calculations to the grand total by pressing the equals key [ = ]. 

Invoice with Taxable and Nontaxable Items

We have an invoice that has items that are subject to sales tax, and items and services that are exempt from sales tax. 

Take advantage of both the independent and grand total memories to calculate the total invoice.

Two approaches:

[ ON/C ] to clear the grand total memory
[ MC ] (or press [ MRC ] until the independent memory is cleared) 

Method 1: 
taxable items [ M+ ]
nontaxable items [ = ]

After finishing entering all the items, add sales tax:
[ MR ] [ × ] sales tax rate [ % ] [ M+ ]

Calculate the total invoice:
[ MR ] [ = ] [ GRAND TOTAL ]

Method 2:
taxable items [ = ]
nontaxable items [ M+ ]

After finishing entering all the items, add sales tax:
[ GRAND TOTAL ] [ × ] sales tax rate [ % ] [ = ]

Calculate the total invoice:
[ MR ] [ = ] [ GRAND TOTAL ]

The example will use Method 1.

An Example of an Invoice

Taxable Items:
$ 19.99
$ 39.96
$ 14.97

Nontaxable Items:  
$ 109.00
$  15.00

Sales Tax Rate:  9% 

As long as you keep your designation of what memory registers are used, you can enter each item in any order.  So both methods should work.

[ AC/ON ] [ MC ]
109 [ = ]
15 [ = ]
19.99 [ M+ ] 
39.96 [ M+ ]
14.97 [ M+ ]
[ MR ] [ × ] 9 [ % ] [ M+ ] 
[ MR ] [ = ] 
[ GRAND TOTAL ]

Result:  205.6628

[ AC/ON ] [ MC ]
109 [ = ]
19.99 [ M+ ] 
15 [ = ]
39.96 [ M+ ]
14.97 [ M+ ]
[ MR ] [ × ] 9 [ % ] [ M+ ] 
[ MR ] [ = ] 
[ GRAND TOTAL ]

Result:  205.6628

Invoice:  $205.66

The calculators I used for this example are the Casio JF-100BM and Casio MC-12M Shop Calculator.

HP Prime: Psuedo Ordering of Complex Numbers

HP Prime: Psuedo Ordering of Complex Numbers 


Can Complex Numbers be Ordered?

Not really, not if you consider what is required to be an ordered field.  The complex numbers can not be an ordered field, one counter example is illustrating the nonzero complex numbers i and 1, when squared and added together, you get zero.

i^2 + 1^2 = -1 + 1 = 0

If you order complex numbers by their modulus (absolute values) only, you run into the problem of having many complex numbers becoming equivalent.  Example:

2 + 3i  and 3 + 2i,  each with radius √13

One way to "psuedo" order complex numbers is to use the numbers looking at both their modulus and angle.   

z1  "<"  z2 if and only if one of the two conditions are met:

| z1 | < | z2 | or

| z1 | = | z2 | and atan(imag(z1)/real(z1)) < atan(imag(z2)/real(z2))

I believe we do not have about the unit of angle  (degrees vs. radians vs. grads) for this psuedo-ordering.

Please see the sources listed at the end of this article for more details. 


HP Prime Program:  CLESS

EXPORT CLESS(z1,z2)

BEGIN

// 2020-08-06 EWS

// psuedo ordering of 

// complex numbers

LOCAL a1,a2,t1,t2;

a1:=ABS(z1);

a2:=ABS(z2);

t1:=ATAN(IM(z1)/RE(z1));

t2:=ATAN(IM(z2)/RE(z2));

IF (a1<a2) OR ((a1==a2) AND (t1<t2)) THEN

RETURN "TRUE";

ELSE 

RETURN "FALSE";

END;

END;


Example (angle shown in radians, rounded to five decimal places):


These complex numbers are listed in order:

1 + i    (1.41421 ∠ 0.78540)

2 + i    (2.23067 ∠ 0.46365)

1+ 2i  (2.23607 ∠ 1.10715)

2 + 2i  (2.82843 ∠ 0.78540)

3 + i  (3.16228 ∠ 0.32175)

1 + 3i (3.16228 ∠ 1.24905)

3 + 2i (3.60555 ∠ 0.58800)

2 + 3i (3.60555 ∠ 0.98279)

4 + i (4.12311 ∠ 0.24498)

Review: Casio MC-12M Shop Calculator

Review:  Casio  MC-12M Shop Calculator



Just The Facts:

Model:  MC-12M Shop Calculator 
Company: Casio
Type:  Desktop 
Display:  12 digits
Battery:  Solar and Battery (AA battery backup)
Logic: Chain
Memory:  Two:  M and Grand Total 
Double Zero Key


I purchased this calculator several months ago at a WalMart for about $11.50. 

Features:

Cost/Sell/Margin Calculation
Change Function
Square Root

The display is set an angle so it is tilted towards the user.  I find the keyboard a pleasure to use.  My hands may be a little big, but with the right size of hands you can speed type on the MC-12M.   The keys are fast and responsive.  

Memory

There are two memories within the MC-12M:  the independent memory M and the Grand Total key.  

The independent memory works with the usual memory plus (M+) and memory minus (M-) keys.   The recall (MR) and clear memory (MC) keys are separate keys on the MC-12M.  

The grand total memory is activated every time you press the equals [ = ] key.  On the MC-12M, the grand total memory is automatic.   The grand total memory is cleared when either [AC/ON] is pressed or the calculator is turned off.  

The Change Feature

The big selling feature of the MC-12M Shop Calculator is the [CHANGE] button.   You enter an amount and press [CHANGE], like you were handed cash in a transaction.   When it is pressed, it compares the amount entered against the amount in the grand total memory registered.  The independent memory is not used in the change feature.  

Example:

You have a $100 bill (C-note) and purchase the following:
1 SD card for $19.95
1 desktop calculator for $11.49  ;)
3 reams of paper for $5.00 each (on sale)
15 pens at $0.49 each
2 USB drives, 32GB for $10.60 each
Sales Tax: 9%

Keystrokes:

[AC/ON]
19.95 [ = ]
11.49 [ = ]
3 [ × ] 5 [ = ]
15 [ × ] .49 [ = ]
2 [ × ] 10.60 [ = ]
[ GRAND TOTAL ]     (Display: 74.99)

[ × ] 9 [ % ] [ = ]

[ GRAND TOTAL ]     (Display/Total Invoice: 81.7391   [$81.74]  )

100 [ CHANGE ]   (Change: 18.2609  [$18.26] )

Percent Change

You can calculate percent change with the use of the minus and percent keys.

%CHG Keystrokes:   new [ - ] old [ % ]

Calculate the percent change from 14.75 to 19.85?

19.85 [ - ] 14.75 [ % ] 

Percent Change:  34.5762711864   (34.5762711864%)

Wishes and Verdict

There are two things the MC-12M Shop Calculator have:

Fix Decimal Selector:  This would be great for the shop because most currency calculations work with 2 decimal places.   My selection of choices would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6.

I would also like to see the Add Mode added. 

Since this is a shop calculator, I can imagine people using this calculator to calculator areas and volumes, so a Ï€ key would be nice.  

Ï€ ≈ 3.1415926535

This calculator is nice to operate and hold and yes, I like the square root (which should be present on more desktop calculators).   Worth a look.

TI 84 Plus CE: Cauchy Fit Regression

TI 84 Plus CE: Cauchy Fit Regression

Note, in this blog capital and lower case letter variables are not assumed to be the same,  hence A ≠ a, B ≠ b, C ≠ c.

Derivation

General Equation:

Y = 1 / (A * (x + B)^2 + C)

We can set the equation in a general quadratic equation format by:

Y = 1 / (A * (x + B)^2 + C)
1/Y = A * (x + B)^2 + C
1/Y = A * (x^2 + 2*B*x + B^2) + C
1/Y = A*x^2 + 2*A*B*x + A*B^2 + C
1/Y = A*x^2 + 2*A*B*x + [A*B^2 + C]

Let:
y = 1/Y
a = A
b = 2*A*B
c = A*B^2 + C

Then:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

This form can be used when using a graphing or scientific calculator to calculate quadratic regression. 

We can solve for A, B, C:

A = a

b = 2*A*B
B = b / (2*A)

c = A*B^2 + C
C = c - A*B^2

To find a Cauchy regression fit:

1.  Enter the x data.
2.  Enter the y data but take the reciprocal of each y data point. 
3.  Run the Quadratic Regression:  y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
4.  Solve for the Cauchy regression to get the coefficients:

A = a
B = b / (2*A)
C = c - A*B^2

TI-84 Plus CE Program:  CAUCHFIT

Notes:

1.  The variables a, b, and c are from the VARS, Statistics, EQ menu.

2.  x data is stored in L1, 1/y data is stored in L2, and y data is stored in L3.  To call lists L1, L2, and L3, press [ 2nd ] [ 1 ], [ 2nd ] [ 2 ], and [ 2nd ] [ 3 ], respectively. 

3.  The use of Output should allow this code to be programmed on earlier TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus calculators. 

Example

X = { 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 , 3}
Y = { 0.0774, 0.0577, 0.0442, 0.0347, 0.0278}

Results:

A = 1.823972632
B = 1.157397925
C = 4.437539736

y ≈ 1 / ( 1.823972632 * (x + 1.157397925)^2 + 4.437539736 )

HP 12C: Last X: Sums and Products

HP 12C:   Last X:   Sums and Products

Introduction

It is possible to use the LST X feature on the HP 12C calculators assist us in quickly calculate sums or products  of a terms, especially when the list of terms are in a series. 

For today's blog, we are starting with a base amount, a, and then adding 1 to each term.   You can use a similar algorithm for a sequence where each term is doubled, tripled, 1 is subtracted from the previous term, and so on.  The key is to complete the adjustment, use storage arithmetic, and then use LST X.

Accessing LST X:

HP 12C (Classic):  [ g ] [ ENTER ]

HP 12C Platinum:  [ g ] [ + ]

These algorithms can be used in program. 


Sum:  a + (a+1) + (a+2)  + (a+3) + ....

Let n represent the storage register to be used.  On the HP 12C, only storage registers R0 through R4 (classic HP 12C).

Algorithm:


STO n

Loop:  
LST X 
1     [ or 2, x  to double each term,  1, - to subtract 1, etc.]
+  
STO+ n    [stores what is in the X display to the Last X register]

Finish:  
RCL n


Example:  7 + 8 + 9 +10 = 34.   Use register 0 to store the sum.

TI-84 Plus CE: Random Numbers and Linear Regression

Random Numbers and Linear Regression


The Test Case y = rand + x

The goal is to see how good we can fit a line to the points generated by the equation:

y = rand + x

where rand is a random generated number between 0 + 1.  Plotting such equation will show that y = rand + x will be bounded in between y = x and y = x + 1 (see screen shot below):




In each of the three tests cases presented, let x be a range of integers between 0 and 14. 

X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}

In the cases presented today, all random amounts are rounded to three decimal places.

Case 1

Y = {0.735, 1.931, 2.007, 3.029, 4.499, 5.578, 6.794, 7.235, 8.847, 9.485, 10.326, 11.873, 12.287, 13.795, 14.101}

Intercept ≈ 0.530
Slope ≈ 0.996
Correlation ≈ 0.997

Case 2

Y = {0.900, 1.792, 2.462, 3.639, 4.083, 5.869, 6.088, 7.225, 8.458, 9.394, 10.401, 11.329, 12.283, 13.441, 14.478}

Intercept ≈ 0.627
Slope ≈ 0.976
Correlation ≈ 0.999

Case 3

Y = {0.066, 1.687, 2.654, 3.166, 4.879, 5.098, 6.891, 7.235, 8.504, 9.615, 10.217, 11.040, 12.823, 13.725, 14.397}

Intercept ≈ 0.428
Slope ≈ 1.006
Correlation ≈ 0.998

Testing 100 Curve Fits

The program RANDLR will test 100 test cases of 50 data points,  X is a list generated of the integers from -24 to 25, while Y is calculated by X + rand, rounded to three decimal places.  The intercept, slope, and correlation shown are the arithmetic average of 100 test runs.   I used various random seeds to here are the results I used from five test runs:

Test 1:
Intercept ≈ 0.4977
Slope ≈ 1.0007
Correlation ≈ 0.9998

Test 2:
Intercept ≈ 0.4976
Slope ≈ 1.0007
Correlation ≈ 0.9998

Test 3:
Intercept ≈ 0.5012
Slope ≈ 1.0002
Correlation ≈ 0.9998

Test 4:
Intercept ≈ 0.5046
Slope ≈ 0.9997
Correlation ≈ 0.9998

Test 5:
Intercept ≈ 0.5012
Slope ≈ 1.0002
Correlation ≈ 0.9998

I can roughly estimate that a line to estimate y = x + rand is y = x + 0.5.

generate an "in progress" counter so that the user how much longer the program will take.

L1 represents list 1 by pressing [ 2nd ] [ 1 ]. Likewise, L2 stands for list 2 and you can get the L2 character by pressing [ 2nd ] [ 2 ]. 

The statistics variables a, b, r are found in the VARS, Statistics, EQ menu.

The code above should work on any of the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus family, but I only used it on the current TI-84 Plus CE. 

Until next time,

Converting Numbers to Binary

The program RBIN converts any real number in base 10 to base 2, including non-integers and negative numbers.  The result is displayed as a string.   The HP Prime program has one string for output while the Casio fx-CG 50 uses two:  Str1 for the integer part and Str2 for the fractional part.

RBIN will need two arguments:  the number to be converted and the precision level.

For the precision level:

1 rounds the number to the nearest 1/2 before conversion.

2 rounds the number to the nearest 1/4 before conversion.

3 rounds the number to the nearest 1/8 before conversion.

4 rounds the number to the nearest 1/16 before conversion.

and so on.

Casio fx-9750GIII and fx-CG50: System of Two Differential Equations, Runge Kutta 4th Order

Casio fx-9750GIII and fx-CG50: System of Two Differential Equations, Runge Kutta 4th Order

Introduction




The program TWORK4 uses the Runge Kutta 4th Order method to solve the following system of differential equations:

dx/dt = f(t, x, y)
dy/dt = g(t, x, y)

with initial conditions x0 = x(t0) and y0 = y(t0)

The next step is calculated with step h from:

x1 ≈ x0 + (k1 + 2 * k2 + 2 * k3 + k4) / 6
y1 ≈ y0 + (l1 + 2 * l2 + 2 * l3 + l4) / 6

k1 = h * f(t0, x0, y0)
l1 = h * g(t0, x0, y0)

k2 = h * f(t0 + h / 2, x0 + k1 / 2, y0 + l1 / 2)
l2 = h * g(t0 + h / 2, x0 + k1 / 2, y0 + l1 / 2)

k3 = h * f(t0 + h / 2, x0 + k2 / 2, y0 + l2 / 2)
l3 = h * g(t0 + h / 2, x0 + k2 / 2, y0 + l2 / 2)

k4 = h * f(t0 + h, x0 + k3, y0 + l3)
l4 = h * g(t0 + h, x0 + k3, y0 + l3)

For the next step set t0 = t0 + h, x0 = x1, and y0 = y1

Inputs:

DX/DT:  Enter dx/dt as a function of T, X, and Y.   T is the independent variable.

DY/DT:  Enter dy/dt as a function of T, X, and Y.   T is the independent variable.

T0, X0, Y0:  Enter the initial conditions

STEP:  Enter the step size

ITERATIONS: Enter the number of iterations desired.  This allows you to calculate a far point in one leap.  Example, if your initial condition is to = 0 and you want to find the point when t = 1 using the step size of 0.1, enter 0.1 for STEP and 10 for ITERATIONS.
