If she asks you that, she wants you to find the circumference of the pan.
Answer:
A. x = 11/16
Step-by-step explanation:
For the purpose here, it is convenient to rearrange the equation to f(x) -g(x) = 0. We know the root will be in the interval [0, 1] because (f-g)(0) = -3 and (f-g)(1) = +3. At each iteration, we evaluate (f-g)(x) at the midpoint of the interval to see which of the interval end points can be moved and still bracket the root.
Using the bisection method starting with the interval [0, 1] we find f(1/2)-g(1/2) < 0, so we can move the interval limits to [1/2, 1].
For the next iteration, we find f(3/4) -g(3/4) > 0, so we can move the interval limits to [1/2, 3/4].
For the third iteration, we find f(5/8) -g(5/8) < 0, so we can move the interval limits to [5/8, 3/4].
Then the root is approximately the middle of that interval:
x ≈ (5/8 +3/4)/2 = 11/16
_____
This value of x is 0.6875. The root is closer to 0.639802004233. The bisection method takes about 3 iterations for each decimal place of accuracy. Other methods can nearly double the number of accurate decimal places on each iteration.
The slope is (8-2)/(0-2)=-3
the y intercept is 8
the equation is y=-3x+8
the area to the left is shaded, and the line is solid, so y

-3x+8
Answer:
(4x^2 +9)(4x^2-9) =0
Step-by-step explanation:
16x^4 - 18 = 0
Rewriting
(4x^2)^2 - 9^2 =0
We notice that this is the difference of squares
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
(4x^2 -9)(4x^2+9) =0
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(a) none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest exponent in the function shown is 2. That makes it a 2nd-degree function, also called a quadratic function. The graph of such a function is a parabola -- a U-shaped curve.
The coefficient of the highest-degree term is the "leading coefficient." In this case, that is the coefficient of the x² term, which is 1. When the leading coefficient of an even-degree function is positive, the U curve has its open end at the top of the graph. We say it "opens upward." (When the leading coefficient is negative, the curve opens downward.)
This means the bottom of the U is the minimum value the function has. For a quadratic in the form ax²+bx+c, the horizontal location of the minimum on the graph is at x=-b/(2a). This extreme point on the curve is called the "vertex."
This function has a=1, b=1, and c=3. The minimum of the function is where ...
x = -b/(2·a) = -1/(2·1) = -1/2
This value is not listed among the answer choices, so the correct choice for this function is ...
none of the above
__
The attached graph of the function confirms that the minimum is located at x=-1/2

<em>Additional comment</em>
When you're studying quadratic functions, there are few formulas that you might want to keep handy. The formula for the location of the vertex is one of them.
