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.

Andrea's living room floor is a rectangle 12 feet by 15 feet. She wants to buy a rug that is geometrically similar to her living
Sliva [168]

Answer:

180 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A rug that is geometrically similar to her room floor is one that has the same size as her room floor.

The floor has dimensions 12 feet by 15 feet.

The area of the floor and hence, the rug is:

A = 12 * 15 = 180 square feet

She should buy a rug that is 180 square feet

Empirical rule (statistics)Help please!!!
emmasim [6.3K]

The empirical rule you're referring to is the 68-95-99.7 rule, which asserts that for a normal (bell-shaped) distribution, approximately 68% of the distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Let X be the random variable denoting vehicle speeds along this highway. We want to find P(61. To use the rule, we need to rephrase this probability in terms of the mean and standard deviation.

Notice that 61=70-9=70-3\cdot3, and 79=70+9=70+3\cdot3. In other words, 61 and 79 both lie exactly 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so P(61.
