Answer:
- x ≈ -0.107760269824
- x ≈ 1.98779489573
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic portion of f(x) factors as (-4x)(x -2), so has zeros at x=0 and x=2. The cosine portion of f(x) will have a value of 1 at x=0 and a value of about -0.15 at x=2. Thus, we might expect roots to be slightly negative and near x=2. (It turns out that a not-unreasonable approximation of the cosine function as cos(x) ≈ 1-x²/2 can be usefully used to get better approximations of the roots in each case.)
A graphing calculator makes it easy to find initial approximations of the two roots. The graph shows them to be -0.108 and 1.988.

Many graphing calculators also include the ability to determine a numerical value of the derivative of a function. This makes it possible to write an iteration function after the fashion of Newton's Method iteration:
g(x) = x -f(x)/f'(x)
where g(x) gives a new value for old guess x, and f'(x) is the derivative of f(x).
The calculator we used is interactive, so the value of g(x) is found even as you type the argument value x. That makes it possible to achieve full calculator accuracy for the root estimate simply by copying the approximate value into the expression g(x).

Answer:
a = 10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle, A = 51 cm²
base, b = 10.2 cm
Let height of triangle be a cm
<em><u>Formula:-</u></em>
hence, the missing length is 10 cm
