$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
hours&miles\\
\cline{1-2}
4&232\\
5.5&319
\end{array}~\hspace{10em}
(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{232})\qquad
(\stackrel{x_2}{5.5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{319})
\\\\\\
slope =
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{319-232}{5.5-4}\implies \cfrac{87}{1.5}\implies 58\frac{mi}{hrs}\impliedby \textit{rate of change}$

We have
                             3 / (x-5) - x/5
We make the GCF and we have
                                    15/[ 5(x-5) ] - x(x-5)/[ 5(x-5)]
                                  = [ 15 - x(x-5) ] [5(x-5)]
                                  = [ 15 - x^2 + 5x] / [ 5 (x-5) ]
                                  = [15 - x^2 + 5x]/[5x - 25]
An answer to your question is (15-x^2+5x)/(5x-25)

Use the Newton-Raphson method to find the root of the equation f(x) = In(3x) + 5x2, using an initial guess of x = 0.5 and a stop

xxMikexx [17]

Answer with explanation:

The equation which we have to solve by Newton-Raphson Method is,

f(x)=log (3 x) +5 x²

$f'(x)=\frac{1}{3x}+10 x$

Initial Guess =0.5

Formula to find Iteration by Newton-Raphson method

$x_{n+1}=x_{n}-\frac{f(x_{n})}{f'(x_{n})}\\\\x_{1}=x_{0}-\frac{f(x_{0})}{f'(x_{0})}\\\\ x_{1}=0.5-\frac{\log(1.5)+1.25}{\frac{1}{1.5}+10 \times 0.5}\\\\x_{1}=0.5- \frac{0.1760+1.25}{0.67+5}\\\\x_{1}=0.5-\frac{1.426}{5.67}\\\\x_{1}=0.5-0.25149\\\\x_{1}=0.248$

$x_{2}=0.248-\frac{\log(0.744)+0.30752}{\frac{1}{0.744}+10 \times 0.248}\\\\x_{2}=0.248- \frac{-0.128+0.30752}{1.35+2.48}\\\\x_{2}=0.248-\frac{0.17952}{3.83}\\\\x_{2}=0.248-0.0468\\\\x_{2}=0.2012$

$x_{3}=0.2012-\frac{\log(0.6036)+0.2024072}{\frac{1}{0.6036}+10 \times 0.2012}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012- \frac{-0.2192+0.2025}{1.6567+2.012}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012-\frac{-0.0167}{3.6687}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012+0.0045\\\\x_{3}=0.2057$

$x_{4}=0.2057-\frac{\log(0.6171)+0.21156}{\frac{1}{0.6171}+10 \times 0.2057}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057- \frac{-0.2096+0.21156}{1.6204+2.057}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057-\frac{0.0019}{3.6774}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057-0.0005\\\\x_{4}=0.2052$
