The approximate solution to the equation \dfrac{4}{x - 5} = \sqrt{x + 3} +2 found using

the Newton-Raphson method is option B.

B. 5.81

<h3>How can the Newton-Raphson method be used?</h3>

The given function is presented as follows;

\dfrac{4}{x - 5} = \mathbf{ \sqrt{x + 3} +2}

Which gives;

\dfrac{4}{x - 5} -2= \sqrt{x + 3}

<em />\left(\dfrac{14-2\cdot x}{x-5} \right)^2 = \sqrt{x+3} ^2 = x+3

\mathbf{\dfrac{4\cdot x^2 - 56 \cdot x + 196}{x^2-10\cdot x + 25}} = x + 3

Therefore;

\mathbf{\dfrac{4\cdot x^2 - 56 \cdot x + 196}{x^2-10\cdot x + 25} - (x + 3)} = 0

\dfrac{- x^3 + 11 \cdot x^2 - 51 \cdot x + 121}{x^2-10\cdot x + 25}  = 0

x³ - 11·x² + 51·x - 121 = 0

Using the Newton Raphson method, with x₀ = 6, we have;

x_1 = x_0- \dfrac{x^3 - 11 \cdot x^2 + 51 \cdot x - 121}{3 \cdot x^2 - 22 \cdot x + 51}

Which gives;

x_1 = 6- \dfrac{6^3 - 11 \times 6^2 + 51 \times 6 - 121}{3 \times 6^2 - 22 \times 6 + 51} \approx \mathbf{ 5.81}

The correct option is <u>B. 5.81</u>

The weight of a radioactive isotope was 96 grams at the start of an experiment. After one hour, the weight of the isotope was ha
zimovet [89]
The starting weight of the radioactive isotope = 96 grams

Weight after one hour is half of the starting weight. So the weight of the radioactive isotope after 1 hour = 48 grams

After 2 hours the weight is half as compared to the weight after previous hour. So weight after 2 hours = 24 grams.

This means, after every hour the weight is being halved. The half life of radioactive isotope is one hour.

Since after every hour, the weight is being halved, the weight of the isotope can be modeled by an exponential equation.

So,

Initial Weight = W₁ = 96
Change factor = 1/2 = 0.5

The general equation of the sequence will be:

\\  \\ W_{t}=96(0.5)^{t}

Here t represents the number of hours. Using various values of t we can find the weight of the radioactive isotope at that time.

We can plot the sequence using the above equation. The graph is attached below.

Maymona book club is ordering new novels, She knows that the total cost of 6 books is $90, and 10 books cost $150. Write an equa
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Y=15x

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Okay so let's approach this problem!</h2><h2 />

X is books and Y is total cost

Let's find the slope!

Y2-Y1/ X2-X1

Just replace

\frac{150 - 90}{10 - 6}

\frac{60}{4}  = 15

The slope is 15

y = 15x + b

Now replace x and y with coordinates and solve

150 = 15(10) + b \\ 150 = 150 + b \\  - 150 \\ 0 = b

The final equation:

y = 15x

That's it! If you have any questions please ask! Brainliest Appreciated.
