Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would take a long time to explain . There is a good method called Newton's method which involves graphs of the type

y = x^3 - n and applying calculus to produce cycles of approximation  until you'll get close to the required cubic root.

You'll find it on online videos.

Step-by-step answer:

You can  use Newton's method as follows:

It is an iterative method, meaning that from an approximation (i.e. an approximate solution), we can refine the answer to get a closer approximation.  By repeating the process (iteration), we can get an answer as accurate as we wish.

The basis of the formula is based on

x1=x0-f(x0)/f'(x0)

where

x0 is a given approximation

x1 is a better approximation

f(x) is a given function (for which we need the roots)

f'(x) is the derivative of the function.

Skipping all details and applying directly to find the cube root, we have

N=the number for which the cube root is desired

f(x)=x^3-N

f'(x)=3x^2

and x0 is an initial approximation that we need to provide (from the integer cubes, for example).

Say we need to find the cube-root of 124.

We know that 5^3 = 125, a rather close approximation, but the cube root is slightly less than 5.

To find a better approximation, we apply Newton's method, and calculate mentally:

x0=5, N=124

x1 = x0-(x0^3-124)/(3(x0^2))    [next substitute values]

= 5 - (125-124)/(3(5^2))     [ next simplify ]

= 5-1/75    [next, rearrange to calculate mentally ]

=5-(1/25)/3  [ next, substitute 1/25 = 0.04, 1/3 division can be done mentally ]

= 5 - 0.04/3    [ divide 0.04/3 mentally ]

= 5 - 0.013333    [ subtract ]

= 4.98667

(exact value = 4.98663, first approximation is already quite close)

Help? I'm not sure I understand how to solve this.
KiRa [710]
Okay so CBE is a right angle which equals 90 degrees. CBD and DBE makes up CBE which is 23 degrees is part of CBD. So subtract CBE from CBD to get DBE which is 67 degrees.

If x = a cosθ and y = b sinθ , find second derivative
Olin [163]

I'm guessing the second derivative is for <em>y</em> with respect to <em>x</em>, i.e.

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}

Compute the first derivative. By the chain rule,

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}}

We have

y=b\sin\theta\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}=b\cos\theta

x=a\cos\theta\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}=-a\sin\theta

and so

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{b\cos\theta}{-a\sin\theta}=-\dfrac ba\cot\theta

Now compute the second derivative. Notice that \frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} is a function of \theta; so denote it by f(\theta). Then

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dx}

By the chain rule,

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm d\theta}\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm d\theta}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}}

We have

f=-\dfrac ba\cot\theta\implies\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm d\theta}=\dfrac ba\csc^2\theta

and so the second derivative is

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\frac ba\csc^2\theta}{-a\sin\theta}=-\dfrac b{a^2}\csc^3\theta
