$$f(x) = 3\sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{x} - 5 \quad x > 0$$ The equation $f(x) = 0$ has a root $\alpha$ in the interval [3, 3.8] (a) Starting with the end points of this interval, use interval bisection to determine $\alpha$ to one decimal place. [4] (b) > (i) Determine $f'(x)$ [2] > > (i…

In this question you must show all stages of your working. Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable. (i) $$ \mathrm{f}(x)=x^{2}+5-8^{5x} $$ Given that the equation $ f(x) = 0 $ has a single root, $ \alpha $, in the interval [0, 1] use interval bisect…

$$ \mathrm{f}(x)=x^{3}-5\sqrt{x}-4x+7\quad 牠 \quad\mathrm{x}\geqslant0 $$ The equation $ f(x) = 0 $ has a root $ \alpha $ in the interval [0.25, 1] (a) Use linear interpolation once on the interval [0.25, 1] to determine an approximation to $ \alpha $, giving your answer to 3 dec…
