You are trying to find an x-value for which f(x) = g(x). At first your choice of x is arbitrary. In the given table, the first x-value tried was 0 (zero). For this value of x, f(x) does NOT equal g(x).
Next x was 1. f(x) and g(x) are even further apart here. So reject 1 and try 2 instead. Notice how f(x) and g(x) are closer together now than they were for x=1.
Note that for x=2.5, f(x) and g(x) are even closer together; ony 0.75 separates them.
Your turn. Try x=2.4, x=2.3, and so on. You may have to go in the other direction: Try x=2.6, x=2.7, and so on. If f(x) and g(x) are getting closer to one another, you're going in the right direction; if further apart, you're going in the wrong direction.
Have fun. This really is an interesting problem.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of distances to the circle along a secant is the same for all secants intersecting a given point.
a. Secants SW and QT intersect at U. Thus ...
(UT)(UQ) = (US)(UW)
(1.5)(4) = (SU)(3)
SU = (4)(1.5)/3
SU = 2
__
b. Secants PT and PX intersect at P. Thus ...
(PQ)(PT) = (PR)(PX)
PX = (PQ)(PT)/PR) = (2.5)(2.5 +4 +1.5)/3 = 20/3
PX = 6 2/3
<h2>1210 cubic feet</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial dimensions of the storeroom were 
length, 
width and 
height.
The room is in the shape of a cuboid. Volume of a cuboid = 
, where 
are the length, width and height of the cuboid.
So, Volume of storeroom initially = 
Finally, the length was increased to 
and width to 
.
Final volume of storeroom = 
Increase in volume = 
∴ 1210 cubic feet of storage was added.
