Answer:

The local newspaper has 250 readers in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Letter to the editor = 10

Also it is given that 10 is the 4% of total readers of the newspaper.

Let x be the number of readers of the newspaper

It can be written as:

10 = 4\%\ of\ x

Converting the percentage into decimal

10 = 0.04x\\\frac{10}{0.04} = \frac{0.04x}{0.04}\\x = 250

The newspaper has 250 readers.

Hence,

The local newspaper has 250 readers in total

Divide £88 between Bill and Sam. If Sam gets
Lynna [10]
<h3>Answer:  £66</h3>

Your teacher may want you to leave off the pounds sign.

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

Explanation:

x = amount Bill gets

3x = amount Sam gets, because he gets three times as much

x+3x = 4x = total amount of money

4x = 88

x = 88/4

x = 22

Bill gets £22

3x = 3*22 = 66

Sam gets £66

Note that 22+66 = 88 to help confirm the answer.

Answer:

  B.  x ≈ 13/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that one iteration consists of determining the midpoint of the interval known to contain the root.

The graph shows the functions intersect between x=1 and x=2, hence our first guess is x = 3/2.

Evaluation of the difference between the left side expression and the right side expression for x = 3/2 shows that difference to be negative, so we can narrow the interval to (3/2, 2). Our 2nd guess is the midpoint of this interval, so is x = 7/4.

Evaluation of the difference between the left side expression and the right side expression for x = 3/4 shows that difference to be positive, so we can narrow the interval to (3/2, 7/4). Our 3rd guess is the midpoint of this interval, so is x = 13/8.

_____

The sign of the difference at this value of x is still negative, so the next guess would be 27/16. It is a little hard to tell what the question means by "3 iterations." Evaluating the function for x=13/8 will be the third evaluation, so the determination that x=27/16 will be the next guess might be considered to be the result of the 3rd iteration.
