Hi!

<h3>We need to isolate x on both sides, and whatever we do to the equation we have to do to both sides. </h3><h3>First, add 8 to both sides. </h3>

2x - 8 + 8 = -6 + 8

2x = 2

<h3>Divide by 2 on both sides</h3>

2x/2 = 2/2

<u>x = 1</u>

<h2>The answer is x = 1</h2>

Hope this helps! :)

Hi,

We start out with our equation, 2x – 8 = – 6

then add 8 to each side, 2x-8+8=-6+8

simplify, 2x=2

divide both sides by 2, 2x/2 = 2/2

simplify again, x=1

Have a great day!

Let f(x)=x^2- 3. 1. Show that [0, 2] is a bracketing interval for f 2. Carry out 3 iterations of the bisection method applied to
Papessa [141]

Answer:

root estimate = 1.75

error bound = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

f is a polynomial, so it is continuous in R (real numbers). Then you can use Bolzano's theorem.

f(0) = -3.1 < 0

f(2) = 4 - 3.1 = 0.9 > 0

Then there exists c in [0, 2], for which f(c) = 0

In the bisection method you generate a sequence x_n of approximations of a root. If you have a bracketing interval [a, b], such that

f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs, then you use  approximate the root as x_n = \frac{a+b}{2}

In this case:

x_0 = 1

f(0)

Then:

x_1=1.5\\f(1.5)0\\

x_2= \frac{(1.5 + 2)}{2}= 1.75

The error bound is half the width of the interval [1.5, 2]

|error| < 0.25

find the column which has products that are the sum of the yellow shaded numbers in each row Shaded the column what pattern do y
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

They are even numbers (divisible by two)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number column starts from 2 and is incremented by two for every number in the column. The remainder of the division of each number in the sequence is zero and the result of the division is sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...

Therefore, the numbers in the column are even numbers.
