Answer:

x ≈ 181/128 ≈ 1.41406

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached table shows the iterations. At each step, the interval containing the root is bisected and the function value at the midpoint of the interval is found. The sign of it relative to the signs of the function values at the ends of the interval tell which half interval contains the root. The process is repeated until the interval width is less than 10^-2.

Interval: [0, 2], signs [+, -], midpoint: 1; sign at midpoint: +

[1, 2] 3/2 -

[1, 3/2] 5/4 +

...

the rest is in the attachment. The listed table values are the successive interval midpoints.

The final midpoint is 181/128 ≈ 1.41406. This is within 0.0002 of the actual root.

_____

The actual solution in the interval [0, 2] is √2 ≈ 1.41421.

What is the sum of the infinite geometric series? mc010-1.jpg

ra1l [238]

You haven't provided the series, therefore, I can only help with the concept.

For an infinite geometric series, we have two possibilities for the common ratio (r):
for r > 1, the terms in the series will keep increasing infinitely and the only possible logic summation of the series would be infinity
for r < 1, the terms will decrease, therefore, we can formulate a rule to get the sum of the infinite series

In an infinite series with r < 1, the summation can be found using the following rule:
sum = $\frac{a_{1} }{1-r}$
where:
a₁ is the first term in the series
r is the common ratio

Example:
For the series:
2 , 1, 0.5 , 0.25 , ....
we have:
a₁ = 2
r = 0.5
Therefre:
sum = $\frac{2}{1-0.5} = 4$

Hope this helps :)

At a college, 72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers. Suppose that 31% of courses have a res

beks73 [17]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers which means probability of 0.72 for courses that have final exams and 0.46 for courses that require research papers.

31% of courses have a research paper and a final exam, which means probability of 0.31 for both courses with exams and research papers, using Venn diagram approach, find picture attached to the solution.

P(R or E) = P(R) + P(E) - P(R and E), which gives:

P(R or E) = 0.15 + 0.41 - 0.31

P(R or E) = 0.25.

A car was purchased for $25,000. Research shows that the car has an average yearly depreciation rate of 18.5%. Create a function

vitfil [10]

Answer:

V(t) = 25000 * (0.815)^t

The depreciation from year 3 to year 4 was $2503.71

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model V(t) as an exponencial function:

V(t) = Vo * (1+r)^t

Where Vo is the inicial value of the car, r is the depreciation rate and t is the amount of years.

We have that Vo = 25000, r = -18.5% = -0.185, so:

V(t) = 25000 * (1-0.185)^t

V(t) = 25000 * (0.815)^t

In year 3, we have:

V(3) = 25000 * (0.815)^3 = 13533.58

In year 4, we have:

V(4) = 25000 * (0.815)^4 = 11029.87

The depreciation from year 3 to year 4 was:

V(3) - V(4) = 13533.58 - 11029.87 = $2503.71

The mapping diagram shows a functional relationship

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$f(4)=\frac{1}{2}$

f(x) = 4 when x is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is the set of x values that make the function defined. Allowed x values for the function (mapping).

The Range is the set of y values that make the function defined. Allowed y values for the function (mapping).

Whenever we need to find f(a), suppose, then we look for "a" in the domain and see its corresponding value mapping in the range.
Whenever we will be given a value for f(x) = a, suppose, and we have to find "x", we look at the value a in the range and find corresponding x value in the domain.

Firstly, we need f(4), so we look for "4" in domain and see which number it corresponds to in range.

That is $\frac{1}{2}$

Thus,

$f(4)=\frac{1}{2}$

Next,

We want "x" value that gives us a "y" value of 4. We look for "4" in the range and see which value it corresponds to. That is "8". So,

f(8) = 4
