Answer:

Length of the rectangle  =25

width of the rectangle  = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Let 'x' be the width of the rectangle

Given that the length of a rectangle is 5 m more than its width

Given that Area of the rectangle = 500m²

length of a rectangle = x +5

width of a rectangle = x

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

Area of the rectangle = length × width

             500 = x ( x+5)

          x² + 5 x = 500

      ⇒  x² + 5 x - 500 =0

      ⇒  x² +25x - 20 x - 500 =0

    ⇒  x( x+25) -20(x+25) =0

  ⇒  (x-20)(x+25) =0

 ⇒  x =20 and x=-25

we can choose x =20

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

Length of the rectangle = x +5 = 20 +5 =25

width of the rectangle  = 20

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

Length of the rectangle  =25

width of the rectangle  = 20

Consider the problem $minimize$ $f(x)=x^4-1$. solve this problem using newton's method. start from $x_0=4$ and perform three ite
stellarik [79]
F(x)=x⁴-1
f'(x)=4x³
Newton’s Method: x[n+1]=x[n]-f(x[n])/f'(x[n]); x[n+1]=x[n]-(x[n]⁴-1)/4x[n]³
x₁=3.00390625
x₂=2.26215...
x₃=1.7182...

X'=X-(X⁴-1)/4X³=X-X/4+1/4X³ is a symbolic way of writing the recursive formula, where X' represents the next iteration.
When X'≈X, -X/4+1/4X³≈0; so X/4≈1/4X³; X≈1/X³, so X⁴≈1 and X⁴-1≈0. But this is f(x)≈0. Hence Newton’s Method converges to a solution.
The rate of change is x[n+1]-x[n]=-(x[n]⁴-1)/4x[n]³=x[n]/4-1/4x[n]³ or symbolically -X/4+1/4X³.
Note that the method converges to one solution. A different x₀ will possibly converge to the solution x=-1.
