Answer:

How do you make a fraction undefined?

The denominator of any fraction cannot have the value zero. If the denominator of a fraction is zero, the expression is not a legal fraction because it's overall value is undefined. This means , , are not legal fractions. Their values are all undefined, and hence they have no meaning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply Newton’s method to estimate the solution of x3 − x − 1 = 0 by taking x1 = 1 and finding the least n such that xn and xn +

ss7ja [257]

Solution :

Given

$f(x)=x^3-x-1, x_1=1$

$f'(x)=3x^2-1$

Let the initial approximation is $x_1 =1$

So by Newton's method, we get

$x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)},n=1,2,...$

$x_2=x_1-\frac{f(x_1)}{f'(x_1)}=1-\frac{1^3-1-1}{3(1)^2-1}=1.5$

$x_3=1.5-\frac{(1.5)^3-1.5-1}{3(1.5)^2-1}=1.34782608$

$x_4=1.34782608-\frac{(1.34782608)^3-1.34782608-1}{3(1.34782608)^2-1}=1.32520039$

$x_5=1.32520039-\frac{(1.32520039)^3-1.32520039-1}{3(1.32520039)^2-1}=1.32471817$

$x_6=1.32471817-\frac{(1.32471817)^3-1.32471817-1}{3(1.32471817)^2-1}=1.32471795$

$x_5 \approx x_6$ are identical up to eight decimal places.

The approximate real root is x ≈ 1.32471795

∴ x = 1.32471795

Expand (2+x)^-3 ....

pentagon [3]

Answer:

1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we do is rationalize this expression. (2+x)^-3 is written as

1/(2+x)^3

Then from there we can foil out the denominator. It is easiest to foil (2+x)(2+x) first and then multiply that product by (2+x).

(2+x)(2+x) = 4 + 4x + x^2

(4+4x+x^2)(2+x) = 8+8x+2x^2+4x+4x^2+x^3.

Then we combine like terms and put them in order to get:

x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8

And of course we can't forget that this was raised to the negative third power, so our answer is 1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)

Answer:

0.337 = 33.7% probability that one of the eight children has a food allergy.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a food allergy, or they do not. The probability of a child having food allergy is independent of any other child. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
