6 0

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the Armans last winter had 5/6 of a row of stacked logs and at the end of the winter he had 8/15 of the same row left, therefore:

Ambitious

First we have to do is that the denominator is the same.

in the case of 5/6 it would be 25/30

and for 8/15 it would be 16/30

Now if we can do the subtraction and it would be:

25/30 - 16/30 = 9/30 or what equals 3/10

3/10 was the amount of wood he burned in the winter

1) Use Newton's method with the specified initial approximation x1 to find x3, the third approximation to the root of the given
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Check below, please

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

1) In the Newton Method, we'll stop our approximations till the value gets repeated. Like this

x_{1}=2\\x_{2}=2-\frac{f(2)}{f'(2)}=2.5\\x_{3}=2.5-\frac{f(2.5)}{f'(2.5)}\approx 2.4166\\x_{4}=2.4166-\frac{f(2.4166)}{f'(2.4166)}\approx 2.41421\\x_{5}=2.41421-\frac{f(2.41421)}{f'(2.41421)}\approx \mathbf{2.41421}

2)  Looking at the graph, let's pick -1.2 and 3.2 as our approximations since it is a quadratic function. Passing through theses points -1.2 and 3.2 there are tangent lines that can be traced, which are the starting point to get to the roots.

We can rewrite it as: x^2-2x-4=0

x_{1}=-1.1\\x_{2}=-1.1-\frac{f(-1.1)}{f'(-1.1)}=-1.24047\\x_{3}=-1.24047-\frac{f(1.24047)}{f'(1.24047)}\approx -1.23607\\x_{4}=-1.23607-\frac{f(-1.23607)}{f'(-1.23607)}\approx -1.23606\\x_{5}=-1.23606-\frac{f(-1.23606)}{f'(-1.23606)}\approx \mathbf{-1.23606}

As for

x_{1}=3.2\\x_{2}=3.2-\frac{f(3.2)}{f'(3.2)}=3.23636\\x_{3}=3.23636-\frac{f(3.23636)}{f'(3.23636)}\approx 3.23606\\x_{4}=3.23606-\frac{f(3.23606)}{f'(3.23606)}\approx \mathbf{3.23606}\\

3) Rewriting and calculating its derivative. Remember to do it, in radians.

5\cos(x)-x-1=0 \:and f'(x)=-5\sin(x)-1

x_{1}=1\\x_{2}=1-\frac{f(1)}{f'(1)}=1.13471\\x_{3}=1.13471-\frac{f(1.13471)}{f'(1.13471)}\approx 1.13060\\x_{4}=1.13060-\frac{f(1.13060)}{f'(1.13060)}\approx 1.13059\\x_{5}= 1.13059-\frac{f( 1.13059)}{f'( 1.13059)}\approx \mathbf{ 1.13059}

For the second root, let's try -1.5

x_{1}=-1.5\\x_{2}=-1.5-\frac{f(-1.5)}{f'(-1.5)}=-1.71409\\x_{3}=-1.71409-\frac{f(-1.71409)}{f'(-1.71409)}\approx -1.71410\\x_{4}=-1.71410-\frac{f(-1.71410)}{f'(-1.71410)}\approx \mathbf{-1.71410}\\

For x=-3.9, last root.

x_{1}=-3.9\\x_{2}=-3.9-\frac{f(-3.9)}{f'(-3.9)}=-4.06438\\x_{3}=-4.06438-\frac{f(-4.06438)}{f'(-4.06438)}\approx -4.05507\\x_{4}=-4.05507-\frac{f(-4.05507)}{f'(-4.05507)}\approx \mathbf{-4.05507}\\

5) In this case, let's make a little adjustment on the Newton formula to find critical numbers. Remember their relation with 1st and 2nd derivatives.

x_{n+1}=x_{n}-\frac{f'(n)}{f''(n)}

f(x)=x^6-x^4+3x^3-2x

\mathbf{f'(x)=6x^5-4x^3+9x^2-2}

\mathbf{f''(x)=30x^4-12x^2+18x}

For -1.2

x_{1}=-1.2\\x_{2}=-1.2-\frac{f'(-1.2)}{f''(-1.2)}=-1.32611\\x_{3}=-1.32611-\frac{f'(-1.32611)}{f''(-1.32611)}\approx -1.29575\\x_{4}=-1.29575-\frac{f'(-1.29575)}{f''(-4.05507)}\approx -1.29325\\x_{5}= -1.29325-\frac{f'( -1.29325)}{f''( -1.29325)}\approx  -1.29322\\x_{6}= -1.29322-\frac{f'( -1.29322)}{f''( -1.29322)}\approx  \mathbf{-1.29322}\\

For x=0.4

x_{1}=0.4\\x_{2}=0.4\frac{f'(0.4)}{f''(0.4)}=0.52476\\x_{3}=0.52476-\frac{f'(0.52476)}{f''(0.52476)}\approx 0.50823\\x_{4}=0.50823-\frac{f'(0.50823)}{f''(0.50823)}\approx 0.50785\\x_{5}= 0.50785-\frac{f'(0.50785)}{f''(0.50785)}\approx  \mathbf{0.50785}\\

and for x=-0.4

x_{1}=-0.4\\x_{2}=-0.4\frac{f'(-0.4)}{f''(-0.4)}=-0.44375\\x_{3}=-0.44375-\frac{f'(-0.44375)}{f''(-0.44375)}\approx -0.44173\\x_{4}=-0.44173-\frac{f'(-0.44173)}{f''(-0.44173)}\approx \mathbf{-0.44173}\\

These roots (in bold) are the critical numbers

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7.-12) and (-9,36)?​
REY [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = slope where

m = rise / run

rise = y2 - y1  

run = x2 - x1

where  

the given point P1 = (7, -12)

and is in the form of (x1,y1)  

and

the given point P2 = (-9,36)  

is  in   the   form  of   (x2,y2)

then

m =  ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

m = ( 36 - (-12) ) / ( -9 -7 )

m = ( 36 + 12 ) /  ( - 16 )

m =  48 /  - 16

m = - 3

the slope is negative 3

slope = - 3
