See how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. For example, with 24/8, 8 goes into 24 three times, so 24/8 is 3. If I had 25/8, then it would be 3 1/8 because you have one left over after you divide the 8 into 25.
No they cannot be simplified together from what I know
Answer:
See Explanation!
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying fractions, you do not need a common denominator, and the entire fraction gets multiplied across, however when adding or subtracting fractions, you must have a common denominator, and then only compute the numerator, as the bases are already the same
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.
