3 0

Answer:

The answer is -3.1, or 3 1/10.Since diving a negative and a positive equals a negative, your quotient will be negative. You can start by removing the 0.5, and divide 15 by 5 which is 3. Then with the 0.5 from -15.5, divide it by 5 and you get 0.1. 3 plus 0.1 is 3.1, and since it has to be negative, it's -3.1.

Approximate cos (12π/ 13) by using a linear approximation with f (x) = cos x.
Katarina [22]
First pick a value of x close to \dfrac{12\pi}{13}. You should be fine with x=\pi.

The linear approximation of f(x) at x=c is given by

f(c)\approx f(a)+f'(a)(c-a)

where x=a is some fixed value close to x=c. You have

f(x)=\cos x\implies f'(x)=-\sin x

so

f\left(\dfrac{12\pi}{13}\right)\approx f(\pi)+f'(\pi)\left(\dfrac{12\pi}{13}-\pi\right)
\cos\dfrac{12\pi}{13}\approx\cos\pi-\sin(\pi)\left(-\dfrac\pi{13}\right)
\cos\dfrac{12\pi}{13}\approx-1

The actual value is closer to -0.9709, so the approximation is decent.

Mr.Martin states that in order for the solution to the equation 3x + q = 6 to be positive, the value of q must be less than 6. S
Virty [35]

Answer:

Mr. Martin's statement is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we select a value of q that is less than 6:

q = 3

Then we <u>write the equation:</u>

  • 3x + 3 = 6

And <u>solve for x</u>:

  • 3x = 6 - 4
  • 3x = 3
  • x =  3/3
  • x = 1

The solution is positive because x > 0.

--

Then we select a value of q that is not less than 6:

q = 9

Then we <u>write the equation:</u>

  • 3x + 9 = 6

And <u>solve for x</u>:

  • 3x = 6 - 9
  • 3x = -3
  • x =  -3/3
  • x = -1

The solution is negative because x > 0.

The following equation f(x) = x³ + 0.5x² + 4.5 has only 1 real root. It lies between the interval [-1,0].
melisa1 [442]
We are asked in this problem to find the real root of the polynomial f(x) = x3 + 0.5x2 + 4.5. in this case, to find the root of the equation, we equate the equation to zero. 
<span>f(x) = x³ + 0.5x² + 4.5 = 0 
        2x3 + x^2 + 9 = 0
</span><span>x1=−1.83557
</span>x2=0.66779+1.41619∗i
x3=0.66779−1.41619∗i

answer is -1.84
