Answer:

A. x = 11/16

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose here, it is convenient to rearrange the equation to f(x) -g(x) = 0. We know the root will be in the interval [0, 1] because (f-g)(0) = -3 and (f-g)(1) = +3. At each iteration, we evaluate (f-g)(x) at the midpoint of the interval to see which of the interval end points can be moved and still bracket the root.

Using the bisection method starting with the interval [0, 1] we find f(1/2)-g(1/2) < 0, so we can move the interval limits to [1/2, 1].

For the next iteration, we find f(3/4) -g(3/4) > 0, so we can move the interval limits to [1/2, 3/4].

For the third iteration, we find f(5/8) -g(5/8) < 0, so we can move the interval limits to [5/8, 3/4].

Then the root is approximately the middle of that interval:

x ≈ (5/8 +3/4)/2 = 11/16

_____

This value of x is 0.6875. The root is closer to 0.639802004233. The bisection method takes about 3 iterations for each decimal place of accuracy. Other methods can nearly double the number of accurate decimal places on each iteration.

Solve for the positive value of x: 6x2 – 54 = 0
n200080 [17]
If you would like to solve for the positive value of x, you can do this using the following steps:

6 * x^2 - 54 = 0      /6
x^2 - 9 = 0
(x - 3) * (x + 3) = 0
1. x = 3
2. x = - 3

The correct result would be x = 3.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

2.7 * 10 ^-5 / 9 * 10 ^-6

First divide the numbers

2.7 / 9 = .3

Then divide the exponents

10^-5 / 10 ^ -6

When we divide exponents we subtract

10^(-5 - -6) = 10 ^1

.3 * 10 ^1

But scientific notation has a number between 1 and less than 10

Move the decimal 1 place to the left, so we subtract 1 from the exponent

3 * 10 ^ (1-1)

3 * 10 ^0
