Answer:

(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize the given expressions:

x² - 16 = x² - 4² = (x - 4)(x + 4)
x² + 4x - 32 = x² + 8x - 4x - 32 = x(x + 8) - 4(x + 8) = (x - 4)(x + 8)

The LCM is the product of all unique factors of both expressions:

(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 8)

The least common multiple is the smallest expression that can be divided by both of the given expressions.

x^2 - 16 = (x - 4)(x + 4)

x^2 + 4x - 32 = (x + 8)(x - 4)

Both of the factored versions of the expressions have an (x - 4) in them. Thus, that will automatically be included in the LCM. Next, we have to include the (x + 4) and the (x + 8) in our LCM.

LCM = (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 8)

Hope this helps! :)

Apply Newton’s method to estimate the solution of x3 − x − 1 = 0 by taking x1 = 1 and finding the least n such that xn and xn +

ss7ja [257]

Solution :

Given

$f(x)=x^3-x-1, x_1=1$

$f'(x)=3x^2-1$

Let the initial approximation is $x_1 =1$

So by Newton's method, we get

$x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)},n=1,2,...$

$x_2=x_1-\frac{f(x_1)}{f'(x_1)}=1-\frac{1^3-1-1}{3(1)^2-1}=1.5$

$x_3=1.5-\frac{(1.5)^3-1.5-1}{3(1.5)^2-1}=1.34782608$

$x_4=1.34782608-\frac{(1.34782608)^3-1.34782608-1}{3(1.34782608)^2-1}=1.32520039$

$x_5=1.32520039-\frac{(1.32520039)^3-1.32520039-1}{3(1.32520039)^2-1}=1.32471817$

$x_6=1.32471817-\frac{(1.32471817)^3-1.32471817-1}{3(1.32471817)^2-1}=1.32471795$

$x_5 \approx x_6$ are identical up to eight decimal places.

The approximate real root is x ≈ 1.32471795

∴ x = 1.32471795

Select the correct product.

pshichka [43]

To find the answer of this problem, we need to distibute and multiply all of the numbers with each other.

2x * x + 2x * 1 + 9 * x + 9 * 1
= 2x^2 + 2x + 9x + 9
= 2x^2 + 11x + 9

The answer would be the first option.

Hope this helps!

Let the reduced price be x

If he paid for 6 rounds, he paid 1 round at full price of $19 and 5 rounds at reduced price:
19 + 5x = 59
5x = 59 - 19
5x = 40
x = 40 ÷ 5
x = 8

The reduced price is at $8 per round.
