So I help with 3 Question

Here x3 - 5x + 1 = 0 Let f(x) = x3 - 5x + 1 + 4(x - 5x + 1) = 3x2.5 :: f (x) = 3x2-5 хо = 2 1st iteration : f(xo) = f(-2) = -3rd iteration : f(x2) = f(-2.3356) = - 2.33563 - (5 - 2.3356) + 1 = -0.0622 f (x2) = f(-2.3356) = 3 - 2.33562 - 5 = 11.3644 X

For A)


We have two pieces of fencing of length x, one piece of length y
and one piece of length √(x²+y²) (the diagonal)
Total fencing = 200
2x + y + √(x²+y²) = 200
Solve for y:
√(x²+y²) = 200 − 2x − y
Square both sides:
x² + y² = 4x² + 4xy − 800x + y² − 400y + 40000
x² = 4x² + 4xy − 800x − 400y + 40000
400y − 4xy = 3x² − 800x + 40000
(400−4x) y = 3x² − 800x + 40000
y = (3x² − 800x + 40000) / (400−4x)

Area = x * y
We can express area as a function of x only, by using value of y found above:
A = x (3x² − 800x + 40000) / (400−4x)
A = (3x³ − 800x² + 40000x) / (400−4x)
A' = (−3x³ + 850x² − 80000x + 2000000) / (2(100−x)²) = 0
−3x³ + 850x² − 80000x + 2000000 = 0
x ≈ 38.8142
y = (3x² − 800x + 40000) / (400−4x) ≈ 55.0302
√(x²+y²)≈ 67.341406532

Area of pen is maximized when
two ends = 38.8142 m
end opposite barn = 55.0302 m
diagonal = 67.3414 m

Maximum area = x * y = 2135.95 m²
