Formula used:
The golden-search method with two initial guesses,
Evaluated the function at the above two interior points. Two results can occur,
If
If
Calculation:
Consider function
With
Iteration 1: First golden ratio is used to create two interior points as,
The two interior points are as follows:
First point is,
Second point is,
Now, comparing the value of function at these interior points as shown below:

Iteration 2: Here,
The two new interior points are as follows:
First point is,
Second point is,
Now, comparing the value of function at these interior points as shown below:
For
For
As
For this case,
Now,
Iteration 3: Here,

Thus, after four iterations result is converging to true value
(c)
To calculate: The maximum of the function
Answer to Problem 8P
Solution:
The maximum of the function
Explanation of Solution
Given information:

Minimizing Time A man stands at a point A on the bank of a straight river, 2 mi wide. To reach point B, 7 mi downstream on the opposite bank, he first rows his boat to point Pon the opposite bank and then walks the remaining distances x to B, as shown in the figure. He can row at a speed or 2 mi/h and walk as a speed of mi/h (a) Find a function that models the time needed for the trip.
