Answer:
The two iterations of f(x) = 1.5598
Step-by-step explanation:
If we apply Newton's iterations method, we get a new guess of a zero of a function, f(x), xₙ₊₁, using a previous guess of, xₙ.
xₙ₊₁ = xₙ - f(xₙ) / f'(xₙ)
Given;
f(xₙ) = cos x, then f'(xₙ) = - sin x
cos x / - sin x = -cot x
substitute in "-cot x" into the equation
xₙ₊₁ = xₙ - (- cot x)
xₙ₊₁ = xₙ + cot x
x₁ = 0.7
first iteration
x₂ = 0.7 + cot (0.7)
x₂ = 0.7 + 1.18724
x₂ = 1.88724
second iteration
x₃ = 1.88724 + cot (1.88724)
x₃ = 1.88724 - 0.32744
x₃ = 1.5598
To four decimal places = 1.5598
I believe the answer is A, the standard deviation is preferable to the range as a measure of variation because the standard deviation takes into account all of the observations, whereas the range considers only the largest and the smallest. Range gives an overall spread of data from the lowest to the largest and thus can be influenced by anomalies, standard deviation on the other hand, takes into account the variable data/spread about the mean and allows for statistical use so inferences can be made.<span />

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
It's not similar because when aligning the values they don't match. 3 × 5 = 15 so that bottom line matches but when you do the same thing to the other line: 5 × 3 does not equal 9. There is no similarity between the two triangles.
