George is solving the equation below by finding successive approximations. He started from a graph where he found the solution t

o be between 5 and 6. Using the lower and upper bounds from the graph, George did the following work for the first iteration. Step 1 Rewrite the equation so that it equals zero. Step 2 Evaluate the rewritten equation at the lower and upper bounds. Since the solution to the original equation is represented by a zero, one of the bounds should yield a negative difference and the other should yield a positive difference. Step 3 Take the average of the lower and upper bounds from the graph. Step 4 Evaluate the rewritten equation at . Step 5 Since this value of x yields a negative difference, use it to replace the previous upper bound that yielded a negative difference, . So, the bounds are now and . In what step, if any, did George make his first mistake? A. In step 1, George should have subtracted in the opposite order to set the equation equal to 0. B. In step 5, George should have used as the new lower bound. C. George made no mistakes, and his work is correct. D. In step 3, George should have averaged the two differences instead of the two bounds.

The mistake made by George is; D:George should have averaged the two differences instead of the two bounds.

<h3>How to Solve Successive Approximations?</h3>

In Mathematics, successive approximation can be defined as a classical method that is used in Calculus for solving integral equations or initial value problems.

In this question, George started the first iteration of successive approximation by using the lower and upper bounds of the graph. However, we can deduce that George made a mistake instep 5 because he should have used x = 3/2 as the new upper bound.

7% of what lenght is 200 ft?
Nastasia [14]
If you would like to solve 7% of what length is 200 ft, you can calculate this using the following steps:

7% of what length is 200 ft
7% * x = 200
7/100 * x = 200      /*100/7
x = 200 * 100 / 7
x = 2857 ft

Result: 7% of 2857 ft is 200 ft.

I need help pls ASAP show your work
REY [17]

Answer:

X= 43/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4 x 5 = 3/4x - 12

-5/4=3/4x -12

-5=3x - 48

-3x-5 = -48

-3x = -48 + 5

-3x= -43

-3 x= -43

X= 43/3

Bailey has an hour to get ready for school. She spends 3/6 of the time getting dressed. She spends 1/4 of that time eating break
Katen [24]
Well, to find out whether she spent more time getting dressed or eating breakfast, we simply have to compare the fractions of the hour that she took on each.
We know that she took 3/6 of an hour to get dressed and 1/4 of an hour to eat breakfast. To find out which activity she spent more time on, we simply need to see which fraction is bigger.
To do this, we must first reduce the fractions to lowest terms. 1/4 is already in lowest terms, so we can leave that alone. 3/6 can be reduced, however, and since 3 goes into 6 twice, it reduces to 1/2.
Now, we can compare the fractions.
Is 1/2 of an hour or 1/4 of an hour more?
The answer is 1/2, so now we know that Bailey spent more time getting dressed than eating breakfast.
Hope that helped! =)
