How do you solve x+4=10^x

Mathematics

Two ways to solve the problem:

A. By graphing f(x)=10^x and g(x)=x+4.
The intersection(s) will be the solution.
See graph below, approximate solutions: (-4,0),(0.66, 4.67)

B. Refine approximate solutions using Newton's method
Let h(x)=f(x)-g(x) = 10^x-x-4 ...............(1)
we calculate the derivative, h'(x) = log(10)*10^x-1   [ note:log(x) means ln(x) ]
and use Newton's iterative formula to find successive approximations to the root, basically refining the approximate solutions.
The iterative formula for nth approximation x_n is given by
x_n = x_{n-1} - h(x_n) / h'(x_n)....(2)

Using initial approximation (-4,0), we have x0=-4
x1
=x0-h(x0)/h'(x0)
=-4 - h(-4)/h'(-4)
=-4 - (10^(-4)-(-4)-4)/(log(10*10^(-4)-1)
=-4 - (1/10000)/(log(10)/10000-1)
=-3.9999000

Repeating the same for second approximation, x2, we get
x2=-3.99989997696619 which is accurate to 14 places after decimal

Now we can refine the other approximate solution, x0=0.66 to find
x1=0.669356
x2=0.6692468481102326
x3=0.669246832877748
x4=0.6692468328777476
So we will accept x=0.669246832877748

So the solutions are S={-3.99989997696619,0.6692468328777476}  both accurate to 14 places after the decimal

In a math class, 12 people reported their grades on the last test. Here are their responses:
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

(a) 23, 35, 28, 33, 5, 12, 40, 25, 20, 18, 1, 16

1, 5, 12, 16, 18, 20 23, 25, 28, 33, 35, 40

n = 12 M = (20 + 23)/ 2 = 21.5

Q1 = (12 + 16) / 2 = 14 Q3 = (28 + 33) /2 = 30.5

(b) 22, 33, 25, 28, 5, 12, 35, 23, 20, 18, 1, 40, 16

1, 5, 12, 16, 18, 20 | 22 | 23, 25, 28, 33, 35, 40

n = 13 M = 22 Q1 = 14 Q3 = 30.5

(c) 20, 28, 23, 25, 3, 5, 33, 22, 18, 16, 40, 1, 35, 12

1, 3, 5, 12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 25, 28, 33, 35, 40

n = 14 M = (20 + 22)/2 = 21 Q1 = 12 Q3 = 28

(d) 20, 28, 23, 25, 3, 5, 30, 22, 18, 40, 16, 35, 1, 33, 12

1, 3, 5, 12, 16, 18, 20 | 22 | 23, 25, 28, 30, 33, 35, 40

n = 15 M = 22 Q1 = 12 Q3 = 30

hope this helps :)

John and Karen plan on building a garden in their new home. They plan on designing a rectangular garden with a perimeter of 70 f
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Length of the garden= 7 feet while the width =28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the garden be L while the width represented as W

From the question, we deduce the following:

W = 4L

Perimeter = 2(L + W) = 70 feet .... substituting W = 4L into this equation gives

70 = 2(L + 4L)

70 = 2(5L)

70 = 10L ... dividing both sides by 10 gives

L = 7

Recall from the first equation that W = 4L

W = 4 * 7 =28
