Question

Select the correct answer.Consider functions fand g.fis) = t3 + 1g(I) = 2log(3)Using successive approximation, what is the approximate solution to the equation f(x) = g(I)? Use the graph as a starting point

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Step 1 :

In this question, we are meant to use successive approximation to find an approximate solution to the equation

$\text{f (x ) = g ( x )}$

Step 2 :

From the attached graph, we can note the following:

The value of x that intersects the two graphs is at x = 3.75.

Therefore, the approximate solution to the equation to the equation,

f(x ) = g( x ) is

$x\text{ }\approx\text{ }\frac{61}{16}\text{ -- OPTION B}$
