Answer:

(E) I, II and III

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

[email protected] = a + b - ab ∀ a, b ∈ Z ( set of all integers ),

For solving this question we need to remember the following properties of integers:

Commutative property of addition
Additive identity property of addition
Commutative property of multiplication
Distributive property of multiplication over addition

I. [email protected] = a + b - ab,

[email protected] = b + a - ba = a + b - ab

Thus, [email protected] = [email protected]

II. [email protected] = a + 0 - a × 0

= a + 0 - 0

= a

III. ([email protected])@c = ([email protected])+c - ([email protected])c

= (a + b - ab) + c - (a + b - ab)c

= a + b - ab + c - ac - bc + abc

= a + b + c - ab - bc - ac + abc,

Now, [email protected]([email protected]) = [email protected]( b + c - bc )

= a + (b + c - bc) - a(b+c - bc)

= a + b + c - bc - ab - ac + abc

= a + b + c - ab - bc - ac + abc.

Thus, ([email protected])@c = [email protected]([email protected])

Carry out three steps of the Bisection Method for f(x)=3x−x4 as follows: (a) Show that f(x) has a zero in [1,2]. (b) Determine w

ELEN [110]

Answer:

a) There's a zero between [1,2]

b) There's a zero between [1.5,2]

c) There's a zero between [1.5,1.75].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have $f(x)=3^x-x^4$

A)We need to show that f(x) has a zero in the interval [1, 2]. We have to see if the function f is continuous with f(1) and f(2).

$f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)$

We can see that f(1) and f(2) have opposite signs. And f(1)>f(2) and the function is continuous, this means that exists a real number c between the interval [1,2] where f(c)=0.

B)We have to repeat the same steps of A)

For the subinterval [1,1.5]:

$f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13$

f(1) and f(1.5) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1,1.5].

For the subinterval [1.5,2]:

$f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)$

f(1.5) and f(2) have opposite signs, this means there's a zero between the subinterval [1.5,2].

C)We have to repeat the same steps of A)

For the subinterval [1,1.25]:

$f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(1.25)=3^1^.^2^5-(1.25)^4=3.94-2.44=1.5$

f(1) and f(1.25) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1,1.25].

For the subinterval [1.25,1.5]:

$f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.25)=3^1^.^2^5-(1.25)^4=3.94-2.44=1.5\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13$

f(1.25) and f(1.5) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1.25,1.5].

For the subinterval [1.5,1.75]:

$f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13\\\\f(1.75)=3^1^.^7^5-(1.75)^4=6.83-9.37=(-2.54)$

f(1.5) and f(1.75) have opposite signs, this means there's a zero between the subinterval [1.5,1.75].

For the subinterval [1.75,2]:

$f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.75)=3^1^.^7^5-(1.75)^4=6.83-9.37=(-2.54)\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)$

f(1.75) and f(2) have the same signs, this means there isn't a zero between the subinterval [1.75,2].

The graph of the function shows that the answers are correct.
