Answer to Problem 24E

  1.2

  3.29

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The equation cosx=x has exactly one solution.

Use a graph to show that the equation cosx=0.3x has three solutions and find their values correct to two decimal places.

Calculation:

Consider the equation cosx=0.3x

The solutions of the equation cosx=0.3x are the x -coordinates of the point of intersection of the curves y=cosx and y=0.3x .

From the below, we see that there are three solutions and it lies between 4 and 2.

In the above graph, there are three point of intersections between two graphs, so we located each point of intersection by the numbering (1) , (2) and (3) .

Now we have to find the values of point of intersections up to two decimal places.

To find the point of intersections of (1) , from the figure(a) we see that it lies between 1 and 2 . Zooming in to the viewing rectangle [1,1.5] by [0.25,0.5] . In figure (b), by moving the cursor to the intersection point of the two curves, we see that the solution of the equation is about 1.2 .

To find the point of intersections of (2) , from the graph we see that it lies between 3 and 2 . Zooming in to the viewing rectangle [2.4,2.2] by [1,0.5] . In figure , by moving the cursor to the intersection point of the two curves, we see that the solution of the equation is about 2.36 .

  Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Enhanced Edition, Chapter 1.4, Problem 24E , additional homework tip  3

To find the point of intersections of (3) , from the figure(a) we see that it lies between 4 and 3 . Zooming in to the viewing rectangle [3.3,3.2] by [1,0.96] . In figure by moving the cursor to the intersection point of the two curves, we see that the solution of the equation is about 3.29 .

  Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Enhanced Edition, Chapter 1.4, Problem 24E , additional homework tip  4

Hence, we conclude that there are two points of intersection because there are two solutions, both within our viewing window.

Answer to Problem 24E

  m0.34

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

the equation cosx=x has exactly one solution.

Find an approximate value of m such that the equation has cosx=mx exactly two solutions.

Calculation:

Need to find the approximate value of m such that the equation has cosx=mx exactly two solutions.

The following graphs shows the different values of m of the equation y=mx ,and the intersecting point of two curves y=cosx and y=mx that has exactly two solution.

The value of m is obtained by using trial and error method.

  Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Enhanced Edition, Chapter 1.4, Problem 24E , additional homework tip  5

From the above graph, we observe that the value for m0.34 .

The intersecting points has exactly two solutions as shown in the below graph.

  Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Enhanced Edition, Chapter 1.4, Problem 24E , additional homework tip  6

Hence,we conclude the value for m0.34
