Answer:

  x ≈ {0.653059729092, 3.75570086464}

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator can tell you the roots of ...

  f(x) = ln(x) -1/(x -3)

are near 0.653 and 3.756. These values are sufficiently close that Newton's method iteration can find solutions to full calculator precision in a few iterations.

In the attachment, we use g(x) as the iteration function. Since its value is shown even as its argument is being typed, we can start typing with the graphical solution value, then simply copy the digits of the iterated value as they appear. After about 6 or 8 input digits, the output stops changing, so that is our solution.

Rounded to 6 decimal places, the solutions are {0.653060, 3.755701}.

_____

A similar method can be used on a calculator such as the TI-84. One function can be defined a.s f(x) is above. Another can be defined as g(x) is in the attachment, by making use of the calculator's derivative function. After the first g(0.653) value is found, for example, remaining iterations can be g(Ans) until the result stops changing,

A dealer bought 3 gross buttons at $.38 a dozen. He sold the buttons at 5 cents each. How much was his profit per gross?(12 doze
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

The sales of a grocery store had an average of $8,000 per day. The store introduced several advertising campaigns in order to in
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 8000  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 8000  

z=\frac{8300-8000}{\frac{1200}{\sqrt{64}}}=2  

p_v =P(Z>2)=0.0228  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

\bar X=8300 represent the sample mean  

\sigma=1200 represent the population standard deviation  

n=64 sample size  

\mu_o =800 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 8000, the system of hypothesis are :  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 8000  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 8000  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

3) Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{8300-8000}{\frac{1200}{\sqrt{64}}}=2  

4) P-value  

Since is a one-side upper test the p value would given by:  

p_v =P(Z>2)=0.0228  

5) Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed, for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean is significantly higher than $8000.
