Determine the first five iterates of f(x)=1.5x(1-x) for x0=0.8

1 answer:

3 0

<span>f(x) = 1.5 x (1 - x)
f(0.8) = 1.5(0.8)(1 - 0.8) = 0.24
f(0.24) = 1.5(0.24)(1 - 0.24) ~= 0.274
f(0.274) = 1.5(0.274)(1 - 0.274) ~= 0.298
f(0.298) = 1.5(0.298)(1 - 0.298) ~= 0.314
f(0.314) = 1.5(0.314)(1 - 0.314) ~= 0.323

</span>So the answer is D : 0.24, 0.274, 0.298, 0.314, 0.323

3) Solve each equation using the quadratic formula. Show<br> a. x2 – 3x – 10 = 0

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula of a quadratic equation

$ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{If}\ b^2-4ac>0\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\text{If}\ b^2-4ac=0\ \text{then the equation has one solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}$

$\text{If}\ b^2-4ac$

We have:

$x^2-3x-10=0\to a=1,\ b=-3,\ c=-10\\\\b^2-4ac=(-3)^2-4(1)(-10)=9+40=49>0\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{49}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{3\pm7}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{3-7}{2}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2\\or\\x=\dfrac{3+7}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5$
