Session x4. Cora is using successive approximations to estimate a positive solution to f(x)=g(x), where f(x)=x2+13 and g(x)=3x+14. The table shows her results for different input values of x.\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}\hlinex & f(x) & g(x) \\\hline 0 & 13 & 14 \\\hline 1 & 14 & 17 \\\hline 2 & 17 & 20 \\\hline 3 & 22 & 23 \\\hline 4 & 29 & 26 \\\hline 3.5 & 25.25 & 24.5 \\\hline\end{tabular}Use Cora's process to find the positive solution, to the nearest tenth, of f(x)=g(x).
Q. Session x4. Cora is using successive approximations to estimate a positive solution to f(x)=g(x), where f(x)=x2+13 and g(x)=3x+14. The table shows her results for different input values of x.\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}\hlinex & f(x) & g(x) \\\hline 0 & 13 & 14 \\\hline 1 & 14 & 17 \\\hline 2 & 17 & 20 \\\hline 3 & 22 & 23 \\\hline 4 & 29 & 26 \\\hline 3.5 & 25.25 & 24.5 \\\hline\end{tabular}Use Cora's process to find the positive solution, to the nearest tenth, of f(x)=g(x).
Analyze the table: Step 1: Analyze the table to find where f(x) and g(x) values are closest.- f(3)=22, g(3)=23- f(3.5)=25.25, g(3.5)=24.5- f(4)=29, g(4)=26The values are closest between x=3 and x=4.
Interpolation estimate: Step 2: Use interpolation to estimate the solution between x=3 and x=4. - Slope of f(x) from x=3 to x=4: (29−22)/(4−3)=7 - Slope of g(x) from x=3 to x=4: (26−23)/(4−3)=3 - Difference in slopes = x=40 - Difference in function values at x=3: x=42 - Estimate x=43 where x=44: x=45, so x=46
