Answer:
- as written, c ≈ 0.000979 or c = 4
- alternate interpretation: c = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>As written</em>, you have an equation that cannot be solved algebraically.
(32^2)c = 8^c
1024c = 8^c
1024c -8^c = 0 . . . . . . rewrite as an expression compared to zero
A graphical solution shows two values for c: {0.000978551672551, 4}. We presume you're interested in c = 4.
___
If you mean ...
32^(2c) = 8^c
(2^5)^(2c) = (2^3)^c . . . . rewriting as powers of 2
2^(10c) = 2^(3c) . . . . . . . simplify
10c = 3c . . . . . . . . . . . . . .log base 2
7c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3c
c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
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:20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
18 9/11 rounded to the nearest whole number is 19 and 8 3/8 rounded to the nearest whole number is 8 so 19 - 8 = 11
Hope this helps :)
