We can solve for x using a technique called successive approximations. step 1: if we assume that x is very small compared to 0.100 (such that 0.100 x ≈ 0.100) then our first approximation of x (let\'s call it x1) can be calculated as

Answers

Answer 1

Supposed that we are given the equation:

7.20 x 10^-5 = x(0.100+x)^2 

 

So assuming that x is very small so that:

0.100 + x ~ 0.100

and calling it x1, so:

 

7.20 x 10^-5 = x1 (0.100)^2 

Then we simply solve for x1:

 

x1 = 7.20 x 10^-5 / (0.100)^2 

x1 = 7.20 x 10^-3

Answer 2

Final answer:

Successive approximations involve iterative guesses to find a solution, Newton's Method refines initial guesses using derivatives, and the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees a solution in a given interval.

Explanation:

Successive Approximations: When solving for x using successive approximations, we make iterative guesses, refining our estimation with each step. The method involves making an initial guess, then refining it until a sufficiently accurate solution is obtained.

Newton's Method: Newton's method is a numerical technique used to find roots of a function. It involves making an initial guess and then iteratively improving upon it by using the function's derivative.

Intermediate Value Theorem: The intermediate value theorem states that a continuous function that takes on values of opposite signs at two points must have at least one root within that interval.

Rochelle found the quotient of an integer, x, and 13. Is her quotient a rational number

Answers

It helps, in this case, to ask what exactly a rational number is, and how they come up. The various number systems we work with in math come up in response to different kinds of algebraic problems. The natural numbers (sometimes abbreviated N) are the most basic, and they include all of the "counting numbers" you learn in early gradeschool - 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - and occasionally 0. If we add or multiply any two natural numbers together, we get another natural number, so we don't need to worry about creating any new numbers when we're just working with those operations. Subtraction poses a few issues, though. If we take an expression like 3 - 4, our answer is going to be outside of N. Rather than throwing our hands up and calling it a day at this point, we create a new set of numbers to deal with this situation.

The integers (abbreviated Z) contain all of the natural numbers, and add negative numbers, too (-1, -2, -3, etc.). Multiplication, addition, and subtraction work fine now, and no matter which integers we use, those operations will always give us back another integer. It's not all perfect, though; division gives us a bit of a hassle now. Expressions like 6/3 are fine, since they just produce another integer (2, in this case), but there's no integer result for something like 2/5 or 3/8, so again, we have to create a new set of numbers to compensate.

That set of numbers is what we refer to as the rational numbers (abbreviated Q), named after the fact that all of them are expressed as ratios. By expanding our number system with these, we gain the ability to express every integer as a rational number by putting it over 1 (6 = 6/1, 5 = 5/1, etc.).

So, getting back to the original question, "is the quotient of an integer x and 13 a rational number?" Yes. The quotient of two integers can always be represented as a rational number.

steps to solve this equation 25 1/7- 12 5/7=

Answers

[tex] \frac{25*7+1}{7} - 12 \frac{5}{7} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{175+1}{7} - 12 \frac{5}{7} [/tex][tex] \frac{176}{7} - \frac{12*7+5}{7} [/tex]

To solve the equation 25 1/7 - 12 5/7, subtract the whole numbers and fractions separately, and combine them back into a mixed number to get the solution, which is 12 3/7

To solve the equation 25 1/7 - 12 5/7, follow these steps:

First, break the mixed numbers into whole numbers and fractions: (25 + 1/7) - (12 + 5/7).Next, subtract the whole numbers: 25 - 12 = 13.Subtract the fractions: 1/7 - 5/7. Since the denominators are the same, simply subtract the numerators: 1 - 5 = -4. This gives us -4/7, but since we can't have a negative fraction in this context, we'll take 1 away from the whole number 13 and convert it to 7/7, to make the equation easier to solve.Now you have 12 (since we took 1 from 13) and 7/7 - 4/7, which equals 3/7.Add the whole number and the fraction: 12 + 3/7 = 12 3/7.

The solution to the equation is 12 3/7

Answer: The required pattern is 13, 37, 109, 325, 973

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, each number in the sequence follows the following rule,

2 less than the 3 times of the previous number.

If we start from 5,

Then first number of the sequence = 3×5 - 2 = 15 - 2 = 13

Second number = 3× 13 - 2 = 39 - 2 = 37

Third number = 3× 37 - 2 = 111 - 2 = 109

Fourth number = 3×109 - 2 = 327 - 2 = 325

Fifth number = 3× 325 - 2 = 975 - 2 = 973

Hence, The required sequence is,

Alan sells custom made kites online. He makes a flat profit of $20 per kite, but he pays $20 per day for his website. Write an inequality that gives the number of kites Alan needs to sell to make at least $900 per week?

Answers

20x+20y=900
I hope that helps. You'll have to isolate each variable. X= kite, y=website.

Profit on each kite that Allan sells= $ 20 per kite

Amount paid by Allan for his Website = $ 20 per day

Let number of kites sold by Allan per day = x

In 7 days , number of kites sold = 7 x

Amount paid by Allan for his Website in 7 seven days = 20 × 7=$140

We have to make an equality describing number of kites Alan needs to sell to make at least $900 per week.

The Inequality is

→20×7 x -140 ≥ 900

→ 140 x ≥ 900 + 140

→ 140 x ≥1040

→ 7 x ≥ 52 (Minimum number of kites that allan should sell in a week)

Dividing both sides by 140,we get

→ x ≥ [tex]\frac{1040}{140}=7.43[/tex]= 8 kites in a day(approx)

Suppose you have two credit cards. The first has a balance of $415 and a credit limit of $1,000. The second has a balance of $215 and a credit limit of $750. What is your overall credit utilization?

Answers

Compute for the total balance:

total balance = $415 + $215 = $630

 

Then we compute for the total credit limit:

total credit limit = $1,000 + $750 = $1,750

 

The credit utilization would simply be the percentage ratio of total balance over total credit limit. That is:

credit utilization = ($630 / $1,750) * 100%

credit utilization = 36%

Find a solution x = x(t) of the equation x′ + 2x = t2 + 4t + 7 in the form of a quadratic function of t, that is, of the form x(t) = at2 + bt + c, where a, b, and c are to be determined.

Answers

The particular quadratic solution to the ODE is found as follows:

[tex]x=at^2+bt+c[/tex]
[tex]x'=2at+b[/tex]

[tex](2at+b)+2(at^2+bt+c)=t^2+4t+7[/tex]
[tex]2at^2+(2a+2b)t+(b+2c)=t^2+4t+7[/tex]

[tex]\begin{cases}2a=1\\2(a+b)=4\\b+2c=7\end{cases}\implies a=\dfrac12,b=\dfrac32,c=\dfrac{11}4[/tex]

Note that there's also the fundamental solution to account for, which is obtained from the characteristic equation for the ODE:

[tex]x'+2x=0\implies r+2=0\implies r=-2[/tex]

so that [tex]x_c=Ce^{-2t}[/tex] is a characteristic solution to the ODE, and the general solution would be

[tex]x=Ce^{-2t}+\dfrac{t^2}2+\dfrac{3t}2+\dfrac{11}4[/tex]

To find a, b, c for the solution:

Let's start by writing down the expression for the function x(t) and its derivative:

We have:

x(t) = at² + bt + c
and
x'(t) = 2at + b

Using x' and x into the differential equation x′ + 2x = t² + 4t + 7 gives us:

2at + b + 2*(at² + bt + c) = t² + 4t + 7
Expanding this gives:
2at² + 2bt + b + 4at + 2c = t² + 4t + 7

By equating the coefficients of equivalent powers of t on both sides, we get three equations:

For t² :
2a = 1
So, a = 1/2

For t:
2b + 4a = 4
Substitute a = 1/2 into the equation gives b = 1 - 2 = -1

For the constant term:
b + 2c = 7
Substituting b = -1 gives c = 4.

So the solution is a = 1/2, b = -1, c = 4.

So the specific solution of this differential equation is given by x(t) = (1/2)t² - t + 4.

(-3 + x) / 2, (-2 + y) / 2

(-3 + x) / 2 = 2 1/2
-3 + x = 5/2 * 2
-3 + x = 5
x = 5 + 3
x = 8

(-2 + y) / 2 = 1
-2 + y = 1 * 2
-2 + y = 2
y = 2 + 2
y = 4

so the coordinates of point C are : (8,4)

The coordinate of point C on line CE will be (8, 4).

What is Coordinates?

A pair of numbers which describe the exact position of a point on a cartesian plane by using the horizontal and vertical lines is called the coordinates.

Given that;

D is the midpoint of CE.

E has coordinates (-3,-2), and D has coordinates (2 1/2, 1).

Now, By the definition of midpoint;

Let the coordinate of point C = (x, y)

Then,

((x + (-3))/2 , (y + (-2))/2) = (2 1/2, 1)

By comparison we get;

x + (-3) / 2= 2 1/2

x - 3 = 2 (5/2)

x - 3 = 5

x = 3 + 5

x = 8

And, (y + (-2))/2 = 1

y - 2 = 2

y = 2 + 2

y = 4

Thus, The coordinate of point C = (x, y) = (8, 4)

So, The coordinate of point C on line CE will be (8, 4).
