In this case, the vertex is the lowest point of the V shaped curve.

The goal is to get the stuff inside the absolute value (the 2x-5) to be as small as possible, so we can get to the lowest point. In terms of absolute value, we want the 2x-5 to be equal to 0

This allows us to set up the equation below and solve for x.

2x-5 = 0

2x = 5

x = 5/2

x = (4+1)/2

x = 4/2 + 1/2

x = 2 + 1/2

x = 2 & 1/2

Let me know if this clears things up or not.

George is solving the equation below by finding successive approximations. He started from a graph where he found the solution t

skelet666 [1.2K]

The mistake made by George is; D:George should have averaged the two differences instead of the two bounds.

<h3>How to Solve Successive Approximations?</h3>

In Mathematics, successive approximation can be defined as a classical method that is used in Calculus for solving integral equations or initial value problems.

In this question, George started the first iteration of successive approximation by using the lower and upper bounds of the graph. However, we can deduce that George made a mistake instep 5 because he should have used x = 3/2 as the new upper bound.

what is the probability of seeing a sample mean for 21 observations less or equal to the sample mean that we observed

kramer

Answer:

$P(x \le 21) = 0.69146$

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing parameters are:

$n = 64$ --- population

$\mu = 20$ --- population mean

$\sigma = 16$ -- population standard deviation

Required

$P(x \le 21)$

First, calculate the sample standard deviation

$\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{16}{\sqrt {64}}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{16}{8}$

$\sigma_x = 2$

Next, calculate the sample mean $\bar_x$

$\bar x = \mu$

So:

$\bar x = 20$

So, we have:

$\sigma_x = 2$

$\bar x = 20$

$x = 21$

Calculate the z score

$x = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

$x = \frac{21 - 20}{2}$

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$x = 0.50$

So, we have:

$P(x \le 21) = P(z \le 0.50)$

From the z table

$P(z \le 0.50) = 0.69146$

So:

$P(x \le 21) = 0.69146$

What is the solution to the equation below? Round your answer to two decimal places? (apex) 5+8*In x=15.8

Sliva [168]

Option A : $x=3.86$ is the solution of the equation.

Explanation:

The equation is $5+8 \ln x=15.8$

To determine the value of x, let us simplify the equation.

Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, we have,

$5+\ 8 \ ln \ x-5=15.8-5$

Simplifying, we get,

$8 \ ln \ x= 10.8$

Now , dividing both sides of the equation by 8, we get,

$\ ln \ x=1.35$

Using the logarithmic definition that if $\log _{a}(b)=c$ then $b=a^{c}$

Thus, rewriting the above expression $\ ln \ x=1.35$ using the logarithmic definition, we have,

$\ln \ x =1.35$ ⇒ $x=e^{1.35}$

Substituting the value of $e^{1.35}$=3.85742...$ , we get,

$x=3.85742 \ldots$

Rounding off the answer to two decimal places, we get,

$x=3.86$

Hence, the solution of the equation is $x=3.86$

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

What is 2.8 as a fraction in simplest form

irina1246 [14]

2.8 = 2 + 0.8

*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction

0.8 = 8/10

*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:

(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5

*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:

2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5

*Now we add the fractions together:

2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5

10/5 + 4/5

*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5

(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5

*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:

answer is: 14/5
