A) -3x^2/2x-1 is the right answer
Let
. Then differentiating, we get

We approximate
at
with the tangent line,

The
-intercept for this approximation will be our next approximation for the root,

Repeat this process. Approximate
at
.

Then

Once more. Approximate
at
.

Then

Compare this to the actual root of
, which is approximately <u>1.76929</u>2354, matching up to the first 5 digits after the decimal place.

Using the uniform distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3 = 30% probability that Samantha has to wait less than 4.5 minutes to catch the bus.
<h3>What is the uniform probability distribution?</h3>
It is a distribution with two bounds, a and b, in which each outcome is equally as likely.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

In this problem, the time is uniformly distributed between 0 and 15 minutes, hence the bounds are a = 0 and b = 15.
The probability that Samantha has to wait less than 4.5 minutes to catch the bus is given by:
