Answer:

a = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

3a−(10+5a)=54

Distribute the minus sign

3a−10-5a=54

Combine like terms

-2a -10 = 54

Add 10 to each side

-2a-10+10 = 54+10

-2a = 64

Divide by -2

-2a/-2 = 64/-2

a = -32

Answer:

a = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

3a - (10 + 5a) = 54

Distribute the negative sign as if it were -1.

3a - 10 - 5a = 54

Combine like terms on left side.

-2a - 10 = 54

Add 10 to both sides.

-2a = 64

Divide both sides by -2.

a = -32

Use the Newton-Raphson method to find the root of the equation f(x) = In(3x) + 5x2, using an initial guess of x = 0.5 and a stop

xxMikexx [17]

Answer with explanation:

The equation which we have to solve by Newton-Raphson Method is,

f(x)=log (3 x) +5 x²

$f'(x)=\frac{1}{3x}+10 x$

Initial Guess =0.5

Formula to find Iteration by Newton-Raphson method

$x_{n+1}=x_{n}-\frac{f(x_{n})}{f'(x_{n})}\\\\x_{1}=x_{0}-\frac{f(x_{0})}{f'(x_{0})}\\\\ x_{1}=0.5-\frac{\log(1.5)+1.25}{\frac{1}{1.5}+10 \times 0.5}\\\\x_{1}=0.5- \frac{0.1760+1.25}{0.67+5}\\\\x_{1}=0.5-\frac{1.426}{5.67}\\\\x_{1}=0.5-0.25149\\\\x_{1}=0.248$

$x_{2}=0.248-\frac{\log(0.744)+0.30752}{\frac{1}{0.744}+10 \times 0.248}\\\\x_{2}=0.248- \frac{-0.128+0.30752}{1.35+2.48}\\\\x_{2}=0.248-\frac{0.17952}{3.83}\\\\x_{2}=0.248-0.0468\\\\x_{2}=0.2012$

$x_{3}=0.2012-\frac{\log(0.6036)+0.2024072}{\frac{1}{0.6036}+10 \times 0.2012}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012- \frac{-0.2192+0.2025}{1.6567+2.012}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012-\frac{-0.0167}{3.6687}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012+0.0045\\\\x_{3}=0.2057$

$x_{4}=0.2057-\frac{\log(0.6171)+0.21156}{\frac{1}{0.6171}+10 \times 0.2057}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057- \frac{-0.2096+0.21156}{1.6204+2.057}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057-\frac{0.0019}{3.6774}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057-0.0005\\\\x_{4}=0.2052$
