\frac{x}{2}  + 22 = 6 \times x
multiply everything by 2
x + 44 = 12 \times x \\ x - 12 \times x =  - 44 \\  - 11 \times x =  - 44 \\ x =  \frac{ - 44}{ - 11}  \\ x = 4

3 determine the highest real root of f (x) = x3− 6x2 + 11x − 6.1: (a) graphically. (b) using the newton-raphson method (three it
Juliette [100K]

(a) See the first attachment for a graph. This graphing calculator displays roots to 3 decimal places. (The third attachment shows a different graphing calculator and 10 significant digits.)

(b) In the table of the first attachment, the column headed by g(x) gives iterations of Newton's Method. (For Newton's method, it is convenient to let the calculator's derivative function compute the derivative f'(x) of the function f(x). We have defined g(x) = x - f(x)/f'(x).) The result of the 3rd iteration is ...

... x ≈ 3.0473167

(c) The function h(x₁, x₂) computes iterations using the secant method. The results for three iterations of that method are shown below the table in the attachment. The result of the 3rd iteration is ...

... x ≈ 3.2291234

(d) The function h(x, x+0.01) computes the modified secant method as required by the problem statement. The result of the 3rd iteration is ...

... x ≈ 3.0477377

(e) Using <em>Mathematica</em>, the roots are found to be as shown in the second attachment. The highest root is about ...

... x ≈ 3.0466805180

<em>Comment on these methods</em>

Newton's method can have convergence problems if the starting point is not sufficiently close to the root. A graphing calculator that gives a 3-digit approximation (or better) can help avoid this issue. For the calculator used here, the output of "g(x)" is computed even as the input is typed, so one can simply copy the function output to the input to get a 12-significant digit approximation of the root as fast as you can type it.

The "modified" secant method is a variation of the secant method that does not require two values of the function to start with. Instead, it uses a value of x that is "close" to the one given. For our purpose here, we can use the same h(x1, x2) for both methods, with a different x2 for the modified method.

We have defined h(x1, x2) = x1 - f(x1)(f(x1)-f(x2))/(x1 -x2).

Consider rolling two fair dice one 3-sided the other 5-sided
Ne4ueva [31]

Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose

1\leq x\leq 3,\quad 1\leq y \leq 5

We have P(X=x)=\frac{1}{3} and P(Y=y)=\frac{1}{5}, because the dice are fair.

Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that

P(X=x, Y=y) = P(X=x)\cdot P(Y=y) =\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{1}{15}

Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:

  • 2 in a unique way (1+1)
  • 3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
  • 4 in three possible ways
  • 5 in three possible ways
  • 6 in three possible ways
  • 7 in two possible ways
  • 8 in a unique way

This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of W=X+Y are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5

Using the number line, determine which expressions have a value that is greater than –8. Select Yes or No for each expression. l
Nimfa-mama [501]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

yes

  • -6-(-6)
  • -4-(-7)

no

  • all others
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Doing what the directions say is generally a good idea.

Adding a number moves to the right; subtracting a number moves to the left. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its opposite.

The arrowhead end of the line in the figure is the end result. Two of them end up to the right of -8, that is, greater than -8.
