Here, f(x)=x2 -6 logx-3=0
f(2)=4-6 log2-3=-0.806
f(3)=9-6 log3-3=3.1373
f(2).f(3)=-0.806*3.1373=-2.529422 which is negative.
Hence, the root lies between 2 and 3
c0 =(2+3)/2=2.5
f(2.5)=6.25-6 log 2.5-3=0.8623
Now
| n | a(-ve) | b(+ve) | cn | f(cn) |
| 0 | 2 | 3 | 2.5 | 0.8623 |
| 1 | 2 | 2.5 | 2.25 | -0.050595 |
| 2 | 2.25 | 2.5 | 2.375 | 0.38664 |
| 3 | 2.25 | 2.375 | 2.3125 | 0.1631658 |
| 4 | 2.25 | 2.3125 | 2.28125 | 0.05506 |
| 5 | 2.25 | 2.28125 | 2.265625 | 0.001925 |
From the table,
f(2.265625)=0.001928<10-2
Therefore, the...

Yes, a physical quantity can have magnitude and direction but still be a scalar if it doesn't obey the vector addition. An example is Electric Current which has magnitude and a fixed direction, but it does not follow vector laws of addition.

Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
