Question
For the following expression:
Fx=1+1/2+1/4+1/8+.....+1/(2x)
By examining the small values of the expression, generate a formula that gives Fx directly aka a formula that takes Θ(1) time to evalue unlike doing a summation
and prove this formula to be correct

- (Numerical analysis) Here’s a challenging problem for those who know a little calculus. The Newton-Raphson method can be used to find the roots of any equation y(x)=0. In this method, the (i+1)stapproximation,xi+1,toarootofy(x)=0 is given in terms of the ith approximation, xi, by the following formula, where y’ denotes the derivative of y(x) with respect to x: xi+1=xiy(xi)/y(xi) For example, if y(x)=3x2+2x2,theny(x)=6x+2 , and the roots are found by making a reasonable guess for a first approximation x1 and iterating by using this equation: xi+1=xi(3xi2+2xi2)/(6xi+2) a. Using the Newton-Raphson method, find the two roots of the equation 3x2+2x2=0. (Hint: There’s one positive root and one negative root.) b. Extend the program written for Exercise 6a so that it finds the roots of any function y(x)=0, when the function for y(x) and the derivative of y(x) are placed in the code.arrow_forward(Thermodynamics) The work, W, performed by a single piston in an engine can be determined by this formula: W=Fd F is the force provided by the piston in Newtons. d is the distance the piston moves in meters. a. Determine the units of W by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for work listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the work performed by a piston that provides a force of 1000 N over a distance of 15 centimeters.arrow_forward(Statics) An annulus is a cylindrical rod with a hollow center, as shown in Figure 6.7. Its second moment of inertia is given by this formula: I4(r24r14) I is the second moment of inertia (m4). r2 is the outer radius (m). r1 is the inner radius (m). a. Using this formula, write a function called annulusMoment ( ) that accepts two double-precision numbers as parameters (one for the outer radius and one for the inner radius), calculates the corresponding second moment of inertia, and displays the result. b. Include the function written in Exercise 5a in a working program. Make sure your function is called from main(). Test the function by passing various data to it.arrow_forward
- (Mechanics) The deflection at any point along the centerline of a cantilevered beam, such as the one used for a balcony (see Figure 5.15), when a load is distributed evenly along the beam is given by this formula: d=wx224EI(x2+6l24lx) d is the deflection at location x (ft). xisthedistancefromthesecuredend( ft).wistheweightplacedattheendofthebeam( lbs/ft).listhebeamlength( ft). Eisthemodulesofelasticity( lbs/f t 2 ).Iisthesecondmomentofinertia( f t 4 ). For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forward(Practice) Determine names for functions that do the following: a.

Start by initializing 10 counters, such as zerocount, onecount, twocount, and so forth, to 0. Then generate a large number of pseudorandom integers between 0 and 9. Each time 0 occurs, increment zerocount; when 1 occurs, increment onecount; and so on. Finally, display the number of 0s, 1s, 2s, and so on that occurred and the percentage of time they occurred.arrow_forward
