Answer:
There is only one real zero and it is located at x = 1.359
Step-by-step explanation:
After the 4th iteration the solution was repeating the first 3 decimal places. The formula for Newton's Method is
If our function is
then the first derivative is
I graphed this on my calculator to see where the zero(s) looked like they might be, and saw there was only one real one, somewhere between 1 and 2. I started with my first guess being x = 1.
When I plugged in a 1 for x, I got a zero of 5/3.
Plugging in 5/3 and completing the process again gave me 997/687
Plugging in 997/687 and completing the process again gave me 1.36976
Plugging in 1.36976 and completing the process again gave me 1.359454
Plugging in 1.359454 and completing the process again gave me 1.359304
Since we are looking for accuracy to 3 decimal places, there was no need to go further.
Checking the zeros on the calculator graphing program gave me a zero of 1.3593041 which is exactly the same as my 5th iteration!
Newton's Method is absolutely amazing!!!
This question involves a system of equations.
for the variables we will use c for computer, p for printer, and s for scanner.
in order to solve a system of equations, we need to solve one variable, so we will just pick c because we are solving for the computer.
when we set up the
equation, we need to convert all the variables into an applicable form of c, since that is the variable we are solving for. we can do this because we have information on how the other variables differ on c.
so we get these translations:
c = c
p = c - 1502
s = p - 123
however, the scanner is not translated to c yet, it is translated into p, but we know p can translate into c, so we plug in the equation for p as so:
s = (c - 1502) - 123
which translates to
s = c - 1625
now we have
c = c
p = c - 1502
s = c - 1625
now that we have the translations, we have to use the original equation given to us which is
c + p + s = 2543
which, with our translations can be said as
c + (c - 1502) + (c - 1625) = 2543
which simplifies to
3c - 3127 = 2543.
now, we add 3127 to both sides to get
3c = 5670
then, we divide 3 to both sides to get
c = 1890
so the computer costs 1890.
if you want to find the price for the printer and scanner, simply take c and plug it in to the other equations as so.
p = 1890 - 1502 (388)
s = 1890 - 1625 (265)
These are all parts of circles.
A radius is the distance from the center of a circle to the edge.
A chord is a line segment from 2 different places on a circle.
A tangent is a line that touches the edge of a circle in only 1 place.
Inscribed angles are inside a circle and circumscribed angles are on the outside of a circle.
Answer:
C. 
- 4 - 24x + 21
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 7)(
+ 3x - 3)
x( + 3x - 3) + -7( + 3x - 3)
( + 3 - 3x) + (-7 + -21x + 21)
- 4 - 24x + 21
