Answer:

  • x2 = .72413793
  • x3 = .087249546

Step-by-step explanation:

Modern graphing calculators have a derivative function available, so using a calculator to find the next value of x is pretty simple.

The Newton's Method iterator for finding the next approximation to the root (x') is ...

  x' = x -f(x)/f'(x) . . . . . where f'(x) is the derivative of f(x).

The attachment shows the first 3 iterations (4 approximations). We observe that the starting point is pretty far from the root, and on the wrong side of some wiggles in the function, so convergence is pretty slow.

The desired approximations are shown above and in the table below.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

To 12 significant figures, the only real root is −1.10305899649. When the calculator can interactively produce a next guess, you can type the next guess value into the iterator function even as it is showing you the next value. This lets you find the best-precision result as fast as you can type it.

For a calculator like a TI-84, the iterator function can make repeated use of "Ans" as an argument. It usually doesn't take more than 3 or 4 iterations to get a best-precision result, since the number of good decimal places is about doubled on each iteration. (Of course, you have to start with a better approximation than the one given in this problem.)

Suppose that two teams play a series of games that ends when one of them has won ???? games. Also suppose that each game played
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

(a) E(X) = -2p² + 2p + 2; d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 is less than 0

(b) 6p⁴ - 12p³ + 3p² + 3p + 3; d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 is less than 0

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) when i = 2, the expected number of played games will be:

E(X) = 2[p² + (1-p)²] + 3[2p² (1-p) + 2p(1-p)²] = 2[p²+1-2p+p²] + 3[2p²-2p³+2p(1-2p+p²)] = 2[2p²-2p+1] + 3[2p² - 2p³+2p-4p²+2p³] =  4p²-4p+2-6p²+6p = -2p²+2p+2.

If p = 1/2, then:

d²/dp² E(X) = d/dp (-4p + 2) = -4 which is less than 0. Therefore, the E(X) is maximized.

(b) when i = 3;

E(X) = 3[p³ + (1-p)³] + 4[3p³(1-p) + 3p(1-p)³] + 5[6p³(1-p)² + 6p²(1-p)³]

Simplification and rearrangement lead to:

E(X) = 6p⁴-12p³+3p²+3p+3

if p = 1/2, then:

d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 = d/dp (24p³-36p²+6p+3) = 72p²-72p+6 = 72(1/2)² - 72(1/2) +6 = 18 - 36 +8 = -10

Therefore, E(X) is maximized.

What is the value of v? 4/5(v−7)=2
Nostrana [21]
4/5(v - 7) = 2...distribute the 4/5 thru the parenthesis
4/5v - 28/5 = 2 ...multiply everything by 5
4v - 28 = 10...add 28 to both sides
4v = 10 + 28
4v = 38
v = 38/4 reduces to 19/2 or 9 1/2 <==

The product of two numbers is 41. One of the numbers
shepuryov [24]
<h3>Answer:   5 - 4i     (choice A)</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

x = the other number

(5+4i)*x = 41

x = 41/(5+4i)

x = 41*(5-4i)/( (5+4i)*(5-4i) ) ..... see note below

x = 41*(5-4i)/( 41 )

x = (41/41)*(5-4i)

x = 5 - 4i  

As a way to check, (5+4i)*(5-4i) = 5^2+4^2 = 25+16 = 41

The rule used is (a-bi)(a+bi) = a^2 + b^2

-----------

Note:  I multiplied top and bottom by (5-4i) to get rid of the imaginary term in the denominator.
