12(4x−5)+5/2=10 solve for x pls help!!!!

Mathematics
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12(4x - 5) + \frac{5}{2}=10

Multiply the whole equation by 2

2*12(4x -5) + \frac{5}{2}*2=10*2\\\\24(4x-5) + 2 = 20\\

24*4x - 5*24 + 2 = 20

96x - 120 + 2 = 20

 96x - 118 = 20

Add 118 to both sides

       96x = 20 +118

       96x = 138

Divide both sides by 96

x = 138/96  = 23/16

x = 1 \frac{7}{16}

In the derivation of Newton’s method, to determine the formula for xi+1, the function f(x) is approximated using a first-order T
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Part A.

Let f(x) = 0;

suppose x= a+h

such that f(x) =f(a+h) = 0

By second order Taylor approximation, we get

f(a) + hf'±(a) + \frac{h^{2} }{2!}f''(a) = 0

h = \frac{-f'(a) }{f''(a)} ± \frac{\sqrt[]{(f'(a))^{2}-2f(a)f''(a) } }{f''(a)}

So, we get the succeeding equation for Newton's method as

x_{i+1} = x_{i} + \frac{1}{f''x_{i}}  [-f'(x_{i}) ± \sqrt{f(x_{i})^{2}-2fx_{i}f''x_{i} } ]

Part B.

It is evident that Newton's method fails in two cases, as:

1.  if f''(x) = 0

2. if f'(x)² is less than 2f(x)f''(x)    

Part C.

In case  x_{i+1} is close to x_{i}, the choice that shouldbe made instead of ± in part A is:

f'(x) = \sqrt{f'(x)^{2} - 2f(x)f''(x)}  ⇔ x_{i+1} = x_{i}

Part D.

As given x_{i+1} = x_{i} = h

or                 h = x_{i+1} - x_{i}

We get,

f(a) + hf'(a) +(h²/2)f''(a) = 0

or h² = -hf(a)/f'(a)

Also,             (x_{i+1}-x_{i})² = -(x_{i+1}-x_{i})(f(x_{i})/f'(x_{i}))

So,                f(a) + hf'(a) - (f''(a)/2)(hf(a)/f'(a)) = 0

It becomes   h = -f(a)/f'(a) + (h/2)[f''(a)f(a)/(f(a))²]

Also,             x_{i+1} = x_{i} -f(x_{i})/f'(x_{i}) + [(x_{i+1} - x_{i})f''(x_{i})f(x_{i})]/[2(f'(x_{i}))²]

Describe the graph of the function f(x) = x3 − 15x2 68x − 96. Include the y-intercept, x-intercepts, and the shape of the graph
solong [7]
So this would be a cubic graph because the largest exponent is a 3.

The Y-intercepts can be found by making all the x's equal 0, so then that would end up being -96 (makes sense considering a cubic graph intercepts at the origin, and this graph moves it down 96 units.

The X-intercepts (the zeros) are a bit tricky. We know that there will likely be three zeros because the exponent is a three. The zeros for this graph are 3, 4, and 8

So in Summary:

This is a Cubic graph with X-intercepts at (3,0), (4,0) and (8,0) and with Y-intercept at (0,-96)
