... The above equation is called the secant method. This method now requires two initial guesses, but unlike the bisection method, the two initial guesses do not need to bracket the root of the equation. The secant method is an open method and may or may not converge. However, when secant method converg ...

... The other great thing about this form is that it allows us to use function notation and eliminate the need to write the dependent variable. Hence, y = mx + b becomes f(x) = mx + b since y is a function of x. We reviewed graphing a linear equation in 2 variables in §2.1, based upon 3 randomly chosen ...

... a) The words "at least" imply that the value of 48 inches is included in the solution set, so the inequality is written ash ≥ 48, where h is the height. In the context of this problem, it is not realisitic that someone is 100 inches tall. This would be considered a non-viable solution. Viable soluti ...

... seems to involve four real-number multiplications, it can in fact be done with just three: ac, bd, and (a + b)(c + d), since: bc + ad = (a + b)(c + d) − ac − bd. In our big-O way of thinking, reducing the number of multiplications from 4 to 3 seems wasted ingenuity. But this modest improvement becom ...
