Step 1: Add 3x to both sides.d−3x+3x=−9+3xd=3x−9 = ANSWER
Can you possibly help me on my recent question?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows you the value stored on the card dropped by $14 when Gina rented 4 videos. Thus the cost of each one is ...
... $14/4 = $3.50
Gina now has $84 on the card, so can rent an additional ...
... $84/$3.50 = 24 . . . . videos
_____
Division is a way to do "repeated subtraction." That is, if we were to subtract $3.50 from $84 repeatedly, we would find we could do it 24 times.
Well this is simple a calculator type problem...but if you are curious as the the algorithm used by simple calculators and such...
They use a Newtonian approximation until it surpasses the precision level of the calculator or computer program..
A newtonian approximation is an interative process that gets closer and closer to the actual answer to any mathematical problem...it is of the form:
x-(f(x)/(df/dx))
In a square root problem you wish to know:
x=√n where x is the root and n is the number
x^2=n
x^2-n=0
So f(x)=x^2-n and df/dx=2x so using the definition of the newton approximation you have:
x-((x^2-n)/(2x)) which simplifies further to:
(2x^2-x^2+n)/(2x)
(x^2+n)/(2x), where you can choose any starting value of x that you desire (though convergence to an exact (if possible) solution will be swifter the closer xi is to the actual value x)
In this case the number, n=95.54, so a decent starting value for x would be 10.
Using this initial x in (x^2+95.54)/(2x) will result in the following iterative sequence of x.
10, 9.777, 9.774457, 9.7744565, 9.7744565066299210578124802523397
The calculator result for my calc is: 9.7744565066299210578124802523381
So you see how accurate the newton method is in just a few iterations. :P
Answer:
d 380
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence reads:
J equals the value of x such that x is an integer AND x is greater than -1.
Translated to English, we can say J is an integer which is zero or positive, or in other words, J is a non-negative integer.
