Answer: The coordinate of L is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say you were to plot the point on a number line and find the distance between P and G.
P is -6 on the number and G is 18 on the number so to find the distance between them we will need to find the different between the number and find its absolute value.
-6- 18 = -24 and the absolute value of -24 is 24.
In other words to get from -6 to 18 on the number line you need to move 24 units to the right.
Now to answer the question, we know that the distance between the two numbers is 24 and and it says that L is 1/6 of the distance.
We can represent that by the equation,
L =
L = 4

Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question should be:
We have been told that all we have to do to get profit is to subtract the cost from revenue.
Revenue =
Cost <em>= </em><em />
<em />
Hence:
Profit =
Putting it in ordered form:
This is an expression for the profit.
(a) See the first attachment for a graph. This graphing calculator displays roots to 3 decimal places. (The third attachment shows a different graphing calculator and 10 significant digits.)
(b) In the table of the first attachment, the column headed by g(x) gives iterations of Newton's Method. (For Newton's method, it is convenient to let the calculator's derivative function compute the derivative f'(x) of the function f(x). We have defined g(x) = x - f(x)/f'(x).) The result of the 3rd iteration is ...
... x ≈ 3.0473167
(c) The function h(x₁, x₂) computes iterations using the secant method. The results for three iterations of that method are shown below the table in the attachment. The result of the 3rd iteration is ...
... x ≈ 3.2291234
(d) The function h(x, x+0.01) computes the modified secant method as required by the problem statement. The result of the 3rd iteration is ...

<em>Comment on these methods</em>
Newton's method can have convergence problems if the starting point is not sufficiently close to the root. A graphing calculator that gives a 3-digit approximation (or better) can help avoid this issue. For the calculator used here, the output of "g(x)" is computed even as the input is typed, so one can simply copy the function output to the input to get a 12-significant digit approximation of the root as fast as you can type it.
The "modified" secant method is a variation of the secant method that does not require two values of the function to start with. Instead, it uses a value of x that is "close" to the one given. For our purpose here, we can use the same h(x1, x2) for both methods, with a different x2 for the modified method.
We have defined h(x1, x2) = x1 - f(x1)(f(x1)-f(x2))/(x1 -x2).
