Let
. Then differentiating, we get

We approximate
at
with the tangent line,

The
-intercept for this approximation will be our next approximation for the root,

Repeat this process. Approximate
at
.

Then

Once more. Approximate
at
.

Then

Compare this to the actual root of
, which is approximately <u>1.76929</u>2354, matching up to the first 5 digits after the decimal place.
If a shape is a square, this mean that each side has the same length. This means that each side of the square has a length of 17cm. Perimeter is the length of the outer boundary of a shape or the summation (addition) of all the sides. This means that the perimeter of this square is 17+17+17+17 or 17×4 which is equal to 68cm.
I hope this helps!
I will get you started.
x^2+4x-4 = 8
x^2 + 4x - 4 - 8 = 0
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0
You must now use the quadratic formula.
In the formula, a = 1, b = 4, and c = -12.
Take it from here.
A producer is said to have an absolute advantage over another producer when he required less amount of input to produce the same good compared to the other producer.
While a producer is said to have a comparative advantage over another producer when he produces his goods at a lesser opportunity cost compared to the other produer.
Here, time is one of the inputs used in production and Maria produces a scarf at a lesser time compared to Sofia. Thus, Maria has an absolute advantage over Maria in the production of scarves.
Therefore, the true statement is "<span>Maria has an absolute advantage over Sofia".</span>
