Apply Newton’s method to estimate the solution of x3 − x − 1 = 0 by taking x1 = 1 and finding the least n such that xn and xn +

ss7ja [257]

Solution :

Given

$f(x)=x^3-x-1, x_1=1$

$f'(x)=3x^2-1$

Let the initial approximation is $x_1 =1$

So by Newton's method, we get

$x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)},n=1,2,...$

$x_2=x_1-\frac{f(x_1)}{f'(x_1)}=1-\frac{1^3-1-1}{3(1)^2-1}=1.5$

$x_3=1.5-\frac{(1.5)^3-1.5-1}{3(1.5)^2-1}=1.34782608$

$x_4=1.34782608-\frac{(1.34782608)^3-1.34782608-1}{3(1.34782608)^2-1}=1.32520039$

$x_5=1.32520039-\frac{(1.32520039)^3-1.32520039-1}{3(1.32520039)^2-1}=1.32471817$

$x_6=1.32471817-\frac{(1.32471817)^3-1.32471817-1}{3(1.32471817)^2-1}=1.32471795$

$x_5 \approx x_6$ are identical up to eight decimal places.

The approximate real root is x ≈ 1.32471795

∴ x = 1.32471795

An English professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 9% of scores B: Scores below the

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The minimum score required for an A grade is 83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 72.3 and a standard deviation of 8.

This means that $\mu = 72.3, \sigma = 8$

Find the minimum score required for an A grade.

This is the 100 - 9 = 91th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.91, so X when Z = 1.34.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.34 = \frac{X - 72.3}{8}$

$X - 72.3 = 1.34*8$

$X = 83$

The minimum score required for an A grade is 83.

A recent research study randomly divided participants into groups who were given different levels of Vitamin E to take daily. On

horrorfan [7]

Answer: D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics

Step-by-step explanation:

By using randomization in sampling, the Sample would be more representative of the Population it is based off of because different demographic characteristics may be picked.

This leads to a situation where the groups have similar characteristics between themselves thereby making it easier for comparison. For example, Group 1 would have certain types of people that will be represented in Group 2 and Group 3 as well. That way the effects of the drug can be properly studied as it affects different people. For instance, say there are 4 obese people in a sample of 10, instead of group one having all obese people, randomization may be able to give group one, 2 obese people and 2 obese people to group 2 as well. That way when comparing, the effects of the drug on the two groups is easier to be compared because the two groups have similar people.

For the square find coordinates for B without using any new variables

damaskus [11]

The geometric term described as an infinite set of points that has length but not width is called a line. It has a negligible with and depth. In geometry, a line located in the plane is defined as the set of points whose coordinates satisfy a given linear equation. A line segment however is a line connected by two dots far apart from each other and then connected. For example is the equation y=mx+b. This is a slope intercept form which is a linear equation.
