Answer:

After 10 iterations, the value is approximately the value it gets closer each time, which is 0.8 (or 4/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the inicial value is 4, we have:

1: f(4) = -1/4(4) + 1 = 0

2: f(0) = -1/4(0) + 1 = 1

3: f(1) = -1/4(1) + 1 = 3/4

4: f(3/4) = -1/4(3/4) + 1 = 13/16

5: f(13/16) = -1/4(13/16) + 1 = 51/64

6: f(51/64) = -1/4(51/64) + 1 = 205/256

7: f(205/256) = -1/4(205/256) + 1 = 819/1024

8: f(819/1024) = -1/4(819/1024) + 1 = 3277/4096

9: f(3277/4096) = -1/4(4) + 1 = 13107/16384

10: f(13107/16384) = -1/4(13107/16384) + 1 = 52429/65536 = 0.8

If the inicial value is -2, we have:

1: f(-2) = -1/4(-2) + 1 = 3/2

2: f(3/2) = -1/4(3/2) + 1 = 5/8

3: f(5/8) = -1/4(5/8) + 1 = 27/32

4: f(27/32) = -1/4(27/32) + 1 = 101/128

5: f(101/128) = -1/4(101/128) + 1 = 411/512

6: f(411/512) = -1/4(411/512) + 1 = 1637/2048

7: f(1637/2048) = -1/4(1637/2048) + 1 = 6555/8192

8: f(6555/8192) = -1/4(6555/8192) + 1 =  26213/32768

9: f(26213/32768) = -1/4(26213/32768) + 1 = 104859/131072

10: f(104859/131072) = -1/4(104859/131072) + 1 = 419429/524288 = 0.8

At the bright-as-day light bulb factory, 5 out of each 136 bulbs produced are defective. If the daily production is 2720 bulbs,
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

100 lightbulbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically find the percentage of lightbulbs that are bad. 5/136. So about 3. 6 percent. I'm going to use a more exact form of this percent for my calculations though. Now use the decimal for of this (0.036....) and multiply it by 2720. Using my exact decimal, the answer just so happened to be exactly 100. So there will be 100 defective lightbulbs per day. (Teachers are a stickler for units, so don't forget them if it's for a teacher)

Hope this helps!

At the movie theater child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $9.90.. On Friday 163 tickets were sold for a total sales o
Jet001 [13]

The number of tickets sold on Friday were 66 children tickets and 97 adult tickets.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of children and y represent the number of adult, hence:

5.2x + 9.9y = 1303.5     (1)

Also:

x + y = 163    (2)

From both equations:

x = 66, y = 97

The number of tickets sold on Friday were 66 children tickets and 97 adult tickets.

Based on the extreme value theorem, what is the maximum value of f(x) = –x2 + 6x over the interval [1, 4]?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Maximum\ value\ =9 ,at\ x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Function given

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

Co-ordinates

(x,y)=[1, 4]

Generally the second differentiation of function is mathematically given by

-2x+6

Therefore critical point

x=3

Generally the substitutions of co-ordinate into function is mathematically given by

For 1

F(1)=-(1)^2 + 6(1)\\F(1)=5

For 4

F(4)=-(4)^2 + 6(4)\\F(4)=8

For critical point 3

F(3)=-(3)^2 + 6(3)\\F(3)=9

Therefore the maximum value of f(x) = –x2 + 6x over the interval [1, 4] is given by

Maximum\ value\ =9 ,at\ x=3
