Answer:

  (a)   -3/4

  (b)  -0.75

  (c)  -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a bit hard to tell what constitutes an "iteration" when using the bisection method to approximate a polynomial root. For the purpose here, we'll say one iteration consists of ...

  • evaluating the function at the midpoint of the bracketing interval
  • choosing a smaller bracketing interval
  • identifying the x-value known to be closest to the solution

Thus, the result of the iteration consists of a bracketing interval and the choice of one of the interval's ends as the solution approximation.

__

(a) We observe that the graphs intersect in the interval (-1, 0). For the first iteration, we evaluate f(x)-g(x) at x=-1/2. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-1, -1/2). The x-value closest to the root is x=-1/2.

For the second iteration, we evaluate the function f(x)-g(x) at x=-3/4. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-1, -3/4). The x-value closest to the root is x=-3/4.

For the third iteration, we evaluate the function f(x)-g(x) at x=-7/8. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-7/8, -3/4). The x-value closest to the root is x=-3/4.

__

(b) The graph tells us the solution is approximately 0.7549. Rounded to 2 decimal places, the solution is approximately 0.75.

__

(c) The above solution found after 3 iterations rounded to 2 decimal places is exactly 0.75.

__

See the attached table for function values.

<em>Comment on bisection iteration</em>

Since you cut the interval containing the root in half with each iteration, you gain approximately one decimal place for each 3 iterations. When the function value is very nearly zero at one of the interval endpoints, it can take many more iterations to achieve a better result.

Here, it takes 4 more iterations before an x-value becomes closer to the solution (x≈-97/128). And it takes one more iteration to move the end of the interval away from -3/4. After these 5 more iterations (8 total), the solution is known to lie in the interval (-97/128, -193/256). The corresponding solution approximation is -193/256. It is still only correct to 2 decimal places.

5(x+1)=20<br><br> What is is the answer?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Steps to solve:

5(x + 1) = 20

~Distributive property

5x + 5 = 20

~Subtract 5 to both sides

5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5

~Simplify

5x = 15

~Divide 5 to both sides

5x/5 = 15/5

~Simplify

x = 3

Best of Luck!

Decide whether or not the figures are similar. Explain why or why not.
AleksAgata [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

To tell if JKON and JKLM are similar, compare the ratios between corresponding sides.  For example:

JK / KO = 5/8

JK / KL = 5/22

The ratios aren't the same, so the shapes aren't similar.

What is the measure of ACE in the diagram below?<br><br> A. 46<br> B. 104<br> C. 29<br> D. 58
beks73 [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The secant- secant angle ACE is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs, that is

∠ ACE = \frac{1}{2} (AE - BD ) = \frac{1}{2} (104 - 46)° = \frac{1}{2} × 58° = 29° → C

A century year such as 1900, 2000, or 2100 is a leap year only if it is a multiple of 400
blondinia [14]
If this is a true or false question, then the answer is true. This is because we technically have 365.2425 days in a year and if you add an extra day every 4 years, you get an average of 365.25. It is A LOT of math, but even though there was an extra day in 1896 and 1904, there was no leap year in 1900 because of the 400 multiple rule.
