Answer:
x = 3 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 6x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )
x² - 6x = 4
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides
x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = 4 + 9
(x - 3)² = 13 ( take square root of both sides )
x - 3 = ± ( add 3 to both sides )
x = 3 ±
Answer:
x₂ = 7.9156
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function ln(x)=10-x with initial value x₀ = 9, we are to find the second approximation value x₂ using the Newton's method. According to Newtons method xₙ₊₁ = xₙ - f(xₙ)/f'(xₙ)
If f(x) = ln(x)+x-10
f'(x) = 1/x + 1
f(9) = ln9+9-10
f(9) = ln9- 1
f(9) = 2.1972 - 1
f(9) = 1.1972
f'(9) = 1/9 + 1
f'(9) = 10/9
f'(9) = 1.1111
x₁ = x₀ - f(x₀)/f'(x₀)
x₁ = 9 - 1.1972/1.1111
x₁ = 9 - 1.0775
x₁ = 7.9225
x₂ = x₁ - f(x₁)/f'(x₁)
x₂ = 7.9225 - f(7.9225)/f'(7.9225)
f(7.9225) = ln7.9225 + 7.9225 -10
f(7.9225) = 2.0697 + 7.9225 -10
f(7.9225) = 0.0078
f'(7.9225) = 1/7.9225 + 1
f'(7.9225) = 0.1262+1
f'(7.9225) = 1.1262
x₂ = 7.9225 - 0.0078/1.1262
x₂ = 7.9225 - 0.006926
x₂ = 7.9156
<em>Hence the approximate value of x₂ is 7.9156</em>
