Answer:

The radius of the base of the small cone is 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires the determination of the radius of the smaller cone

Therefore, height of the larger cone = 10 feet

Base diameter of the larger cone = 10 feet

Height of horizontal plane of small plane above base of larger cone = 4 feet

Hence the height of the small cone = 6 feet

Therefore, by similar triangles, and tangents we have;

\frac{Height \, of \, small \, cone}{Height \, of \, larger\, cone} =\frac{Diameter \, of \, base \, of \, small \, cone}{Diameter \, of \, base \, of \, larger \ cone} =\frac{6}{10} = \frac{x}{10}

Where:

x = The diameter of the base of the small cone

Therefore;

{x} = \frac{6}{10} \times 10 = 6 \, feet

The radius of the base of the small cone = half the diameter of the base of the small cone

∴ The radius of the base of the small cone = (6 feet)/2 = 3 feet.

In his first year, a math teacher earned $32,000. Each successive year, he
Ivan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each successive year, he

earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms(years).

From the information given,

a = $32,000

r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05

n = 20 years

The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)

T20 = $80862.4

To determine the his total

earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is

S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1

S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05

S20 = $1057920

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.
