Finding roots with Newton’s method For the given function f and initial approximation x0 use Newton’s method to approximate a root of f. Stop calculating approximations when two successive approximations agree to five digits to the right of the decimal point after rounding. Show your work by making a table similar to that in Example 1.

- A bottle of soda with a temperature of 71 Fahrenheit was taken off a shelf and placed ina refrigerator with an internal temperature of 35 .After ten minutes, the internal temperature of thesoda was 63F . Use Newton’s Law of cooling towrite a formula that models this situation. To thenearest degree, what will the temperature of thesoda be after one hour?arrow_forwardDefine Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forwardIf you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forward
- Frictional Force The frictional force F between the tires and the road required to keep a car on a curved section of a highway is directly proportional to the square of the speed s of the car. If the speed of the car is doubled, the force will change by what factor?arrow_forwardFind the unknown value. 27. y varies jointly with x and the cube root of 2. If when x=2 and z=27,y=12, find y if x=5 and z=8.arrow_forwardA forest fire leaves behind an area of grass burned in an expanding circular pattern. If the radius of the circle of burning grass is increasing with time according to the formula r(t)=2t+1 , express the area burned as a function of time, t (minutes).arrow_forward
- Use Newton's Method to approximate all roots of the given function, accurate to 4 places after the decimal. Use the graph below to obtain good initial approximations. f(x) = x³ + 5x² − x-6 -18 Root(s): -10 110 (Separate multiple answers by commas.)arrow_forwardb2arrow_forwardA person sitting on a Ferris wheel rises and falls as the wheel turns. Suppose that the person's height above ground is described by the following function. h (t) =22.7– 19.8 cos 1.7t In this equation, h (t) is the height above ground in meters, and t is the time in minutes. Find the following. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. Time for one complete revolution: || minutes Maximum height above the ground:r Number of revolutions per minute:| metersarrow_forward
