Mathematics

Llana [10]2 years ago
6 0
First you turn the mixed fraction into an improper fraction and work out 2-13 :
1/4y + 3/2 + - 11/4y-12
Then factorise :
1/4y + 3/2 - 11/4(y-3)
Then factor out y :
Y(y-3)+6(y-3)-11 / 4(y-3)
Then expand :
Y^2-3y+6y-18-11 / 4y-12
Simplify for your final answer :
y^2+3y-29 / 4y-12

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 3% of 6 is 0.18

You can get this number by multiplying 0.03 by 6

  • Add 0.18 to 6 and that gives Jack $6.18

1) Use Newton's method with the specified initial approximation x1 to find x3, the third approximation to the root of the given
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Check below, please

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

1) In the Newton Method, we'll stop our approximations till the value gets repeated. Like this

x_{1}=2\\x_{2}=2-\frac{f(2)}{f'(2)}=2.5\\x_{3}=2.5-\frac{f(2.5)}{f'(2.5)}\approx 2.4166\\x_{4}=2.4166-\frac{f(2.4166)}{f'(2.4166)}\approx 2.41421\\x_{5}=2.41421-\frac{f(2.41421)}{f'(2.41421)}\approx \mathbf{2.41421}

2)  Looking at the graph, let's pick -1.2 and 3.2 as our approximations since it is a quadratic function. Passing through theses points -1.2 and 3.2 there are tangent lines that can be traced, which are the starting point to get to the roots.

We can rewrite it as: x^2-2x-4=0

x_{1}=-1.1\\x_{2}=-1.1-\frac{f(-1.1)}{f'(-1.1)}=-1.24047\\x_{3}=-1.24047-\frac{f(1.24047)}{f'(1.24047)}\approx -1.23607\\x_{4}=-1.23607-\frac{f(-1.23607)}{f'(-1.23607)}\approx -1.23606\\x_{5}=-1.23606-\frac{f(-1.23606)}{f'(-1.23606)}\approx \mathbf{-1.23606}

As for

x_{1}=3.2\\x_{2}=3.2-\frac{f(3.2)}{f'(3.2)}=3.23636\\x_{3}=3.23636-\frac{f(3.23636)}{f'(3.23636)}\approx 3.23606\\x_{4}=3.23606-\frac{f(3.23606)}{f'(3.23606)}\approx \mathbf{3.23606}\\

3) Rewriting and calculating its derivative. Remember to do it, in radians.

5\cos(x)-x-1=0 \:and f'(x)=-5\sin(x)-1

x_{1}=1\\x_{2}=1-\frac{f(1)}{f'(1)}=1.13471\\x_{3}=1.13471-\frac{f(1.13471)}{f'(1.13471)}\approx 1.13060\\x_{4}=1.13060-\frac{f(1.13060)}{f'(1.13060)}\approx 1.13059\\x_{5}= 1.13059-\frac{f( 1.13059)}{f'( 1.13059)}\approx \mathbf{ 1.13059}

For the second root, let's try -1.5

x_{1}=-1.5\\x_{2}=-1.5-\frac{f(-1.5)}{f'(-1.5)}=-1.71409\\x_{3}=-1.71409-\frac{f(-1.71409)}{f'(-1.71409)}\approx -1.71410\\x_{4}=-1.71410-\frac{f(-1.71410)}{f'(-1.71410)}\approx \mathbf{-1.71410}\\

For x=-3.9, last root.

x_{1}=-3.9\\x_{2}=-3.9-\frac{f(-3.9)}{f'(-3.9)}=-4.06438\\x_{3}=-4.06438-\frac{f(-4.06438)}{f'(-4.06438)}\approx -4.05507\\x_{4}=-4.05507-\frac{f(-4.05507)}{f'(-4.05507)}\approx \mathbf{-4.05507}\\

5) In this case, let's make a little adjustment on the Newton formula to find critical numbers. Remember their relation with 1st and 2nd derivatives.

x_{n+1}=x_{n}-\frac{f'(n)}{f''(n)}

f(x)=x^6-x^4+3x^3-2x

\mathbf{f'(x)=6x^5-4x^3+9x^2-2}

\mathbf{f''(x)=30x^4-12x^2+18x}

For -1.2

x_{1}=-1.2\\x_{2}=-1.2-\frac{f'(-1.2)}{f''(-1.2)}=-1.32611\\x_{3}=-1.32611-\frac{f'(-1.32611)}{f''(-1.32611)}\approx -1.29575\\x_{4}=-1.29575-\frac{f'(-1.29575)}{f''(-4.05507)}\approx -1.29325\\x_{5}= -1.29325-\frac{f'( -1.29325)}{f''( -1.29325)}\approx  -1.29322\\x_{6}= -1.29322-\frac{f'( -1.29322)}{f''( -1.29322)}\approx  \mathbf{-1.29322}\\

For x=0.4

x_{1}=0.4\\x_{2}=0.4\frac{f'(0.4)}{f''(0.4)}=0.52476\\x_{3}=0.52476-\frac{f'(0.52476)}{f''(0.52476)}\approx 0.50823\\x_{4}=0.50823-\frac{f'(0.50823)}{f''(0.50823)}\approx 0.50785\\x_{5}= 0.50785-\frac{f'(0.50785)}{f''(0.50785)}\approx  \mathbf{0.50785}\\

and for x=-0.4

x_{1}=-0.4\\x_{2}=-0.4\frac{f'(-0.4)}{f''(-0.4)}=-0.44375\\x_{3}=-0.44375-\frac{f'(-0.44375)}{f''(-0.44375)}\approx -0.44173\\x_{4}=-0.44173-\frac{f'(-0.44173)}{f''(-0.44173)}\approx \mathbf{-0.44173}\\

These roots (in bold) are the critical numbers

Leena loves peanut butter. today, she ate four tablespoons of it. if there are 6 mg of vitamin e in four tablespoons of peanut b
velikii [3]
<span>First, we need to know that the current recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E is 15 milligrams. If Leena ate four tablespoons of peanut butter, thus receiving only 6 milligrams, then we can determine the percentage by first dividing 100 into 15 parts (which gives us 6.66), and then multiply that answer by 6 (6 x 6.66), which gives us precisely 40. Thus, the answer is 40 percent.</span>

M is between points C and Q. CM=17 and CQ=21. What is MQ?
katrin2010 [14]
Sometimes it helps to draw it out...

     (17)
C_______M_________Q
|___________________|
             21

therefore, CM + MQ = CQ
17 + MQ = 21
MQ = 21 - 17
MQ = 4 <===

The bases of a right prism are isosceles trapezoids with bases of 10 ft and 18 ft
likoan [24]

Answer:

540 ft^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the trapezoid = h/2 (10 + 18) = 14h.

By Pythagoras the height h = √(5^2 - 4^2) = 3.

So the area of the 2 trapezoidal bases = 2 * 14*3

= 84 ft^2.

Now we calculate the area of the four lateral rectangular sides:

= 10*12 + 18*12 + 2*5*12

= 456 ft^2.

Total area =  456 + 54

= 540 ft^2.
