. A large tree, b, removes 1.5 kg of pollution from the air each year. A small tree, s, removes 0.04 kg of pollution each year.

An urban forest has 1,650 large and small trees. Together, these trees remove 1,818 kg of pollution each year. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of large and small trees in the forest?

Answer:

The system of equations are:

s + b = 1650.... Equation 1

0.04s + 1.5b = 1818........ Equation 2

The number of

Small trees = 450 trees

The number of Big trees = 1200 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question

Small trees = s

Large trees = b

An urban forest has 1,650 large and small trees.

Hence,

s + b = 1650.... Equation 1

s = 1650 -b

A large tree, b, removes 1.5 kg of pollution from the air each year. A small tree, s, removes 0.04 kg of pollution each year. Together, these trees remove 1,818 kg of pollution each year.

Hence:

0.04s + 1.5b = 1818........ Equation 2

We substitute 1650 - b for s

0.04(1650 - b) + 1.5b = 1818

66 - 0.04b + 1.5b = 1818

- 0.04b + 1.5b = 1818 - 66

1.46b = 1752

b = 1752 ÷ 1.46

b = 1200 trees

Solving for x

1650 - b = s

s = 1650 - 1200

s = 450 trees

Consider the following equations. f(x)= x^3 +3x^2 -2x+1 g(x)= x^2-5x+4 Approximate the solution to the equation f(x) = g(x) usin
Masja [62]

Answer:

A. x = 11/16

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose here, it is convenient to rearrange the equation to f(x) -g(x) = 0. We know the root will be in the interval [0, 1] because (f-g)(0) = -3 and (f-g)(1) = +3. At each iteration, we evaluate (f-g)(x) at the midpoint of the interval to see which of the interval end points can be moved and still bracket the root.

Using the bisection method starting with the interval [0, 1] we find f(1/2)-g(1/2) < 0, so we can move the interval limits to [1/2, 1].

For the next iteration, we find f(3/4) -g(3/4) > 0, so we can move the interval limits to [1/2, 3/4].

For the third iteration, we find f(5/8) -g(5/8) < 0, so we can move the interval limits to [5/8, 3/4].

Then the root is approximately the middle of that interval:

x ≈ (5/8 +3/4)/2 = 11/16

_____

This value of x is 0.6875. The root is closer to 0.639802004233. The bisection method takes about 3 iterations for each decimal place of accuracy. Other methods can nearly double the number of accurate decimal places on each iteration.
