Solve for x: −4|x + 5| = −16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Annette [7]3 years ago

-4 | x + 5 | = -16...divide both sides by -4, eliminating it on the left side
| x + 5 | = -16/-4
| x + 5 | = 4

x + 5 = 4           -(x + 5) = 4
x = 4 - 5            -x - 5 = 4
x = -1                 -x = 4 + 5
                          -x = 9
                           x = -9

solutions : x = -1 , x = -9

Let f(x)=x^2- 3. 1. Show that [0, 2] is a bracketing interval for f 2. Carry out 3 iterations of the bisection method applied to
Papessa [141]

Answer:

root estimate = 1.75

error bound = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

f is a polynomial, so it is continuous in R (real numbers). Then you can use Bolzano's theorem.

f(0) = -3.1 < 0

f(2) = 4 - 3.1 = 0.9 > 0

Then there exists c in [0, 2], for which f(c) = 0

In the bisection method you generate a sequence x_n of approximations of a root. If you have a bracketing interval [a, b], such that

f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs, then you use  approximate the root as x_n = \frac{a+b}{2}

In this case:

x_0 = 1

f(0)

Then:

x_1=1.5\\f(1.5)0\\

x_2= \frac{(1.5 + 2)}{2}= 1.75

The error bound is half the width of the interval [1.5, 2]

|error| < 0.25

A line contains the points (3,9) and (-1,1) what is the equation of the line?
kirza4 [7]
To find the equation of a line using two given set of points, you must first find slope. To do so, we must use the slope formula:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 

In this case:
1 - 9 / -1 - 3 = -8 / -4 
- 8 / -4 = 2 (simplified) 

Now we can use the point-slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1) 

y - 1 = 2(x + 1 )
y - 1 = 2x + 2
y = 2x + 3

In order to make 3x - y = 6 in slope intercept form, we must isolate y.

- y = -3x + 6
Note: y cannot be negative, so we'll multiply both sides by -1 
( -1 ) - y = - 3x + 6 ( -1 ) = y = 3x -6

Explain the meaning of F(30) = 8,950 in this situation
dexar [7]

Answer:

when you have something like f(x)=... that means

f means function

and every time you see an x or the variable in the parenthesis you plug in for that so it's f(x) =3x+1 then f(2)= 3x+1 every time you see x you plug in 2
