Answer:

\huge \boxed{x=-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

64^x = 16^(x-1)

Rewrite the bases with base of 4.

(4^3)^x = (4^2)^(x-1)

Multiply exponents.

4^(3x) = 4^(2(x-1))

Cancel same bases.

3x = 2(x-1)

Expand brackets.

3x = 2x - 2

Subtract 2x from both sides.

x = -2

Answer:

a. x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

64ˣ = 16⁽ˣ⁻¹)

64 = 4³

16 = 4²

4³⁽ˣ⁾ = 4²⁽ˣ⁻¹)

4³ˣ = 4²ˣ⁻²

3x = 2x - 2

x = -2

Number 49....I need help

Now, keep in mind that, we'll be using 25mile intervals, notice, that at a cost of 200 bucks, it went for 50 miles, now the charges are just for every 25miles only, so, if you drive 30 miles, you pay for 25miles and if you drive for 49 miles, you still only pay for 25 miles, but because 50/25 is 2 intervals, then if you drive for 50 miles, you're paying for 2 intervals of 25miles, not just one.

now, also let's keep in mind that, when the car was driven for 200 miles, that's 200/25 or 8 25mile intervals, so the 25mile charge kicked in 8 times.

\bf \stackrel{cost}{y}=\stackrel{fixed~charge}{F}+\stackrel{25mile~intervals}{m}\quad \stackrel{25mile~charge}{x}\implies y=F+mx\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
200=F+2x\implies 200-2x=\boxed{F}\\
245=F+8x\\
----------\\
245=\boxed{200-2x}+8x
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
45=6x\implies \cfrac{45}{6}=x\implies \cfrac{15}{2}=x\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{so the 25mile charge is}\\
\textit{7 bucks and 50cents}
\end{array}
\\\\\\


\bf 200=F+2\left( \frac{15}{2} \right)\implies 200=F+15\implies 185=F
\\\\\\
\textit{and the \underline{fixed charge} is 185 bucks then, let's check for 450}
\\\\\\
\boxed{y=185+\frac{15}{2}x}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
450~miles\\\\
\cfrac{450}{25}\implies 18~\textit{\underline{25mile intervals}}\\\\
x=18
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
y=185+\cfrac{15}{2}\cdot 18\implies y=185+135\implies y=320

Use Newton’s method to approximate the indicated root of the equation correct to six decimal places. The positive root of 3 sin
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x \approx 2.278863

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The positive root of 3\sin(x) = x

Equate to 0

0 = x -3\sin(x)

So, we have our function to be:

h(x) = x -3\sin(x)

Differentiate the above function:

h'(x) = 1 -3\cos(x)

Using Newton's method of approximation, we have:

x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{h(x_n)}{h'(x_n)}

Plot the graph of h(x) = x -3\sin(x) to get x_1 --- see attachment for graph

From the attached graph, the first value of x is at 2.2; so:

x_1 = 2.2

So, we have:

x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{h(x_n)}{h'(x_n)}

x_{1+1} = x_1 - \frac{h(x_1)}{h'(x_1)}

x_{2} = 2.2 - \frac{2.2 -3\sin(2.2)}{1 -3\cos(2.2)} = 2.28153641

The process will be repeated until the digit in the 6th decimal place remains unchanged

x_{3} = 2.28153641 - \frac{2.28153641 -3\sin(2.28153641)}{1 -3\cos(2.28153641)} = 2.2788654

x_{4} = 2.2788654 - \frac{2.2788654 -3\sin(2.2788654)}{1 -3\cos(2.2788654)} = 2.2788627

x_{5} = 2.2788627 - \frac{2.2788627-3\sin(2.2788627)}{1 -3\cos(2.2788627)} = 2.2788627

Hence:

x \approx 2.278863
