Answer:
A. x = 11/16
Step-by-step explanation:
For the purpose here, it is convenient to rearrange the equation to f(x) -g(x) = 0. We know the root will be in the interval [0, 1] because (f-g)(0) = -3 and (f-g)(1) = +3. At each iteration, we evaluate (f-g)(x) at the midpoint of the interval to see which of the interval end points can be moved and still bracket the root.
Using the bisection method starting with the interval [0, 1] we find f(1/2)-g(1/2) < 0, so we can move the interval limits to [1/2, 1].
For the next iteration, we find f(3/4) -g(3/4) > 0, so we can move the interval limits to [1/2, 3/4].
For the third iteration, we find f(5/8) -g(5/8) < 0, so we can move the interval limits to [5/8, 3/4].
Then the root is approximately the middle of that interval:
x ≈ (5/8 +3/4)/2 = 11/16
_____
This value of x is 0.6875. The root is closer to 0.639802004233. The bisection method takes about 3 iterations for each decimal place of accuracy. Other methods can nearly double the number of accurate decimal places on each iteration.
To find the maximum height you need to find the vertex:(h,k)
Your equation is in vertex form a(x-h)+k and the vertex is (h,k) where k is the maximum height and the h is the distance it went to reach the maximum height.
k=6 so the kangaroo's maximum height is 6 feet.
To find how long is the kangaroo's jump, take a look at the graph. You will notice that the parabola ends at the distance the kangaroo jumped. You will also see that it is the one of the x-intercepts.
-.03(x-14)^2+6=0
-.03(x-14)^2+6-6=0-6
-.03(x-14)^2=-6
-.03/-.03(x-14)=-6/-.03
(x-14)^2=200
[(x-14)^2]^.5=200^.5
x-14=(200)^.5
x-14+14=(200)^.5+14
x≈28.14 feet
The kangaroo jumped a distance of 28.14 feet.
You will notice that the square root of a number gives you two solutions a positive and a negative one. The other solution is -.14, which we know distance is not negative so we do not use that solution. Also, I used the ^.5 instead of using the square root. It is the same.
Answer:
31/35
Step-by-step explanation:
= 62/70
= 62 ÷ 2/70 ÷ 2
= 31/35
Answer:
The area would be 314.16 mm squared
Answer:
55°
Step-by-step explanation:
35°+ 90° + ? =180°
? = 180° - 125°
= 55°
