Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Required
The positive root of 
Equate to 0

So, we have our function to be:

Differentiate the above function:

Using Newton's method of approximation, we have:

Plot the graph of
to get
--- see attachment for graph
From the attached graph, the first value of x is at 2.2; so:

So, we have:



The process will be repeated until the digit in the 6th decimal place remains unchanged



Hence:
So first you need your denominators to be the same so you can multiply. They share a common denominator of 24. 2/3 equals 16/24 and 2/8 equals 9/24. So now you need to turn your fractions into mixed numbers and multiply. Which equals 2112/576. That # is way to big so then you simplify and get 11/3. so now you have 5 and 1/6 divided by 11/3. So now just flip the second fraction multiply it by its reciprocal. 31/6 X 3/11=___. So your final answer is 1 and 9/22
Answer:
C. 18 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the sides of the triangle shown is 12 : 15 = 4 : 5. We know it is a right triangle, so we know the missing side length completes the ratio
3 : 4 : 5 = 9 : 12 : 15
Half of XY is 9 cm, so the length of the entire chord is 18 cm.
_____
The chord is tangent to the inner circle, so makes a 90° angle with the radius to that tangent point. This tells you that the triangle shown is a right triangle. It also tells you that the short radius bisects the chord. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length of the side not shown (half the chord length).
The unknown side (a) can be found from ...
15² = 12² +a²
225 -144 = a² . . . . . . subtract 12²
81 = a² . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
9 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The chord length is 2a, so is ...
2(9 cm) = 18 cm . . . . length of chord XY
The answer could be D- pq. It's not from the center of the circle.
