Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solving Equations Using Successive Approximations</u>
We need to find the solution to the equation
where
The approximation has been already started and reached a state for x=2.5 where
The difference between the results is 0.25, we need further steps to reach a good solution (to the nearest tenth)
Let's test for x=2.4
The new difference is -0.2+0.24=0.04
It's accurate enough, thus the solution is
We know there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so how many quarts in 2.5 gallons anyway?
