Answer:
B. x ≈ 13/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that one iteration consists of determining the midpoint of the interval known to contain the root.
The graph shows the functions intersect between x=1 and x=2, hence our first guess is x = 3/2.
Evaluation of the difference between the left side expression and the right side expression for x = 3/2 shows that difference to be negative, so we can narrow the interval to (3/2, 2). Our 2nd guess is the midpoint of this interval, so is x = 7/4.
Evaluation of the difference between the left side expression and the right side expression for x = 3/4 shows that difference to be positive, so we can narrow the interval to (3/2, 7/4). Our 3rd guess is the midpoint of this interval, so is x = 13/8.
_____
The sign of the difference at this value of x is still negative, so the next guess would be 27/16. It is a little hard to tell what the question means by "3 iterations." Evaluating the function for x=13/8 will be the third evaluation, so the determination that x=27/16 will be the next guess might be considered to be the result of the 3rd iteration.

Answer:
The amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount in the account at 12% interest
So, 6000-x is the amount in the second account at 7% interest
First account:
Second account :
We are given that At the end of the first year he had earned $590 in interest.
So,
So,the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400
The amount in the second account at 7% interest =6000-x=6000-3400=2600
Hence the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600
<u>Correct Question</u>
In the table shown, the sum of each row is shown to the right of the row and the sum of each column is shown below the column. What is the value of L?
Answer:
L=7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first row: 2J+K=5
Therefore: K=5-2J
From the second column, 2K+J=7
Substitute K derived above into 2K+J=7
2K+J=7
2(5-2J)+J=7
10-4J+J=7
-3J=7-10
-3J=-3
J=1
Recall: K=5-2J
K=5-2(1)=3
K=3
From the third column, J+2L=15
1+2L=15
2L=15-1=14
L=7
Therefore, the value of L=7
