Let 2
( ) 2 5 x
f x x e    .
i) Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that f(x) has a root
in the interval [3,4].
ii) Starting at
0
x  3.5
, use the Newton’s Method to find the root of
the given equation, accurate to six decimal places, that lies
in the given interval.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
