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...
1. How many beats can be heard by sounding together two tuning forks of frequencies 250Hz and 256Hz?
Number of beats (n) =f2- f1
= 256 - 250
= 6 beats /sec
The two vectors (say A and B) of different magnitudes cannot be combined to give zero resultant since minimum value of combination is ІA-BІ which is not zero if AB.
The three vectors A, B and C of different magnitudes can be zero such that they form a closed triangle, then,
A+B+C=0
or, C=-(A+B)
Hence, the sum of three vectors may be zero if vector sum of any two vectors is equal and opposite to the third vector.
Note: The vectors can give this result only if...
