Write a paragraph reflecting on the different methods (graphing technology, tables of values, and successive approximation) of solving f(x) = g(x). state which of the three methods you prefer, and explain why.

I just turned in my activity and got 5/5 on this question... here was my answer...

Step-by-step explanation:

The three methods we use to solve f(x)=g(x) are graphing technology, tables of values, and successive approximation. Graphing technology is when you draw graph of both f(x) and g(x). The point where these two functions intersect gives the value of x. It can be tough to draw the graph of some function but it gives exact answer once you have accomplished the drawing of the graph. Tables of values is when you will substitute the value of x in both f(x) and g(x), so after trial and error you can find exact value of x, where , f(x)=g(x). Lastly, successive approximation is used by selecting an interval and then values of x are substituted from the interval to calculate the exact value of x for which, f(x)=g(x) by trial and error method. Little bit lengthier and time consuming. The method that I prefer is graphing technology because once you draw the graph correctly, it gives you the correct location of x where f(x)=g(x).

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
