3x² = 16x - 5
3x² - 16x + 5 = 16x - 16x - 5 + 5
3x² - 16x + 5 = 0
x = <u>-(-16) +/- √((-16)² - 4(3)(5))</u>
                       2(3)
x = <u>16 +/- √(256 - 60)</u>
                   6
x = <u>16 +/- √(196)</u><u /><u /><u />

X - the number

3x^2=16x-5 \\&#10;3x^2-16x+5=0 \\&#10;3x^2-15x-x+5=0 \\&#10;3x(x-5)-1(x-5)=0 \\&#10;(3x-1)(x-5)=0 \\&#10;3x-1=0 \ \lor \ x-5=0 \\&#10;3x=1 \ \lor \ x=5 \\&#10;x=\frac{1}{3} \ \lor \ x=5

The number is 1/3 or 5.

B. 20x^4-39x^3+26x^2-6x

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x^2-6x+2)*(4x^2-3x)

20x^4 -15x^3 -24x^3 + 18 x^2 +8x^2 - 6x

20x^4 -39x^3 + 26x^2  - 6x

Consider the problem $minimize$ $f(x)=x^4-1$. solve this problem using newton's method. start from $x_0=4$ and perform three ite
stellarik [79]
F(x)=x⁴-1
f'(x)=4x³
Newton’s Method: x[n+1]=x[n]-f(x[n])/f'(x[n]); x[n+1]=x[n]-(x[n]⁴-1)/4x[n]³
x₁=3.00390625
x₂=2.26215...
x₃=1.7182...

X'=X-(X⁴-1)/4X³=X-X/4+1/4X³ is a symbolic way of writing the recursive formula, where X' represents the next iteration.
When X'≈X, -X/4+1/4X³≈0; so X/4≈1/4X³; X≈1/X³, so X⁴≈1 and X⁴-1≈0. But this is f(x)≈0. Hence Newton’s Method converges to a solution.
The rate of change is x[n+1]-x[n]=-(x[n]⁴-1)/4x[n]³=x[n]/4-1/4x[n]³ or symbolically -X/4+1/4X³.
Note that the method converges to one solution. A different x₀ will possibly converge to the solution x=-1.

Rolando's Labrador retriever had 12 puppies. Eight of her puppies were yellow labs and the rest were black labs. What is the rat
natta225 [31]

Answer:

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 total puppies. To find the number of black puppies, we have to subtract the yellow from the total. So:

12 - 8 = 4

There are 4 black puppies. Now we put the black puppies in ratio to yellow puppies:

4:8

Then simplify (divide both sides by 4):

1:2
