a.
find solution values correct to two decimal places.
a.
Answer to Problem 24E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The equation
Use a graph to show that the equation
Calculation:
Consider the equation
The solutions of the equation
From the below, we see that there are three solutions and it lies between
In the above graph, there are three point of intersections between two graphs, so we located each point of intersection by the numbering
Now we have to find the values of point of intersections up to two decimal places.
To find the point of intersections of
To find the point of intersections of
To find the point of intersections of
Hence, we conclude that there are two points of intersection because there are two solutions, both within our viewing window.
b.
Find the approximate value of
b.
Answer to Problem 24E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
the equation
Find an approximate value of
Calculation:
Need to find the approximate value of
The following graphs shows the different values of
The value of
From the above graph, we observe that the value for
The intersecting points has exactly two solutions as shown in the below graph.
Hence,we conclude the value for
