Answer:

The answer is "4.3".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\to x^3 - 5x - 59 = 0

When x = 4.1:  

\to f(4.1) = (4.1)^3 - 5(4.1) - 59 = -10.579

When x= 4.2:

f(4.2) = 4.2^3 - 5(4.2) - 59 = -5.912

When x = 4.3:

\to f(4.3) = -0.993 (closer to 0)

\to f(4.4) = 4.184

  • It changes the sign so, the root lies in 4.3 and 4.4.

When x = 4.35:

\to f(4.35) = 1.563

When the root is closer to 4.3 than 4.4 So, 1.563 is closer to zero than 4.184.

When x = 4.32:

\to f(4.32) = 0.0216 close to zero.

So the answer is 4.3 to 1 decimal place.

The value of a professional basketball player's autograph rose 40% in the last year. It is now worth $364.00. What was it worth
Olin [163]
F it rose 10% that means that it is now worth 110% of what it was a year ago. So set up an equation: 297 = 110% of x297 = 1.1 x270 = x So it was worth $270 a year ago.

Please help me on this and show me the steps to the answer.

I guess you want to calculate the value of e. If so then:

-8.e = 4 . Divide both sides by 4:

-2.e = 1. Divide both sides by 2:
-e = 1/2. Multiply both sides with (-):

e = - 1/2
