Answer:

$x_{2} = 0.0000$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Newton's method is:

$x_{i+1} = x_{i} + \frac{f(x_{i})}{f'(x_{i})}$

Where $f' (x_{i})$ is the first derivative of the function evaluated in $x_{i}$ .

$x_{i+1} = x_{i} + \frac{x_{i}^{4}-x_{i}-3}{4\cdot x_{i}^{3}-1}$

Lastly, the value of $x_{2}$ is determined by replacing $x_{1}$ with its numerical value:

$x_{2} = x_{1} + \frac{x_{1}^{4}-x_{1}-3}{4\cdot x_{1}^{3}-1}$

$x_{2} = 1.0000 + \frac{1.0000^{4}-1.0000-3}{4\cdot (1.0000)^{3}-1}$

$x_{2} = 0.0000$

In an arithmetic sequence, the nth term an is given by the formula an=a1+(n−1)d, where a1 is the first term and d is the commo

Answer:

105th term of given series is

$a_n=\dfrac{105}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given series is

$\dfrac{1}{2},\ 1,\ \dfrac{3}{2},\ 2,\ \dfrac{5}{2}.....$

As we can see,

$\textrm{First term},a_1=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Also,

$1-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}-1=2-\dfrac{3}{3}=.....=\dfrac{1}{2}$

hence, we can say given series is in arithmetic progression,

with common difference,

$d=\ \dfrac{1}{2}$

As given in question the nth term in A.P is given by

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

since we have to find the 105th term, so we can write

$a_{105}=\dfrac{1}{2}+(105-1)\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{104}{2}$

$=\dfrac{105}{2}$

Hence, the 105th term of given series of A.P is $\dfrac{105}{2}$ .

Jeremy bakes two pans of brownies that are the same size. One pan has nuts in it and the other pan does not. He cuts the pan wit

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The answer is " $\frac{2}{8} > \frac{3}{16}$ So, they eat more brownies with nuts".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, the two browny pans of equal size are baked by Jeremy. There is indeed a saucepan with nuts in it, not the other pan. He split the pot into eight equal chunks with nuts. He slices the pan into 16 equal parts without nuts. His mates eat 2 nuts brownies and three nut-free brownies. They eat more nuts and brownies $\frac{2}{8} > \frac{3}{16}$ eat more.
