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

There are 100 people in a wedding house, including children, men and women, and there are 100 pappadas to give with Sadya Te.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Two possible sets of answers.

5 men, 11 women and 42 children, or

10 men, 2 women and 88 children

Selamat Sadhya!

Step-by-step explanation:

M = number of men

W = number of women

100-M-W = number of children

Total number of pappadas

5M+3W+(100-M-W)/2 = 100

Solve for W

W = (100-9M)/5 .......................(1)

Examine equation (1).

In order to have W as a whole number, M must be multiple of 5

Therefore M = 5 or 10

If M = 5, W = (100-45)/5 = 11 and children = 100-5-11 =  84

If M = 10, W = (100-90)/5 = 2 and children = 100-10-2 = 88

Hi. I need help with these questions.<br> See image for question. <br> Please answer no 10 and 11
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  10. (x, y) = (-3/8, 2 9/16)

  11. k = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

10. The value of x at the vertex is ...

  x = -b/(2a)

  x = -(-3)/(2(-4)) = -3/8

The corresponding value of y is ...

  y = 2 +(-3/8)(-3 +(-3/8)(-4)) = 2 +(-3/8)(-3/2) = 2 +(9/16)

The vertex is (x, y) = (-3/8, 2 9/16).

__

11. The discriminant is zero when the roots are equal.

  b² -4ac = 0

  (k-1)² -4(1)(-k) = 0

  k² -2k +1 +4k = 0

  k² +2k +1 = 0 . . . . . collect terms

  (k +1)² = 0 . . . . . . . . write as a square

  k = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . the value of k that satisfies

<em>Check</em>

  x² -2x +1 = (x -1)² = 0 . . . . has equal roots: x=1.
