AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding the roots of the equation involving the expression e/x = 3x + 1. Participants clarify the equation's format, with some suggesting it might be miswritten, as the initial interpretation led to confusion. The need for precise formulation is emphasized to facilitate accurate solutions. Linear interpolation is proposed as a method for determining the roots, but further clarification on the equation is required. Overall, the focus remains on accurately defining the equation to proceed with finding its roots.

1. use linear interpolation to find the root of the following equations, correct to 3 decimal places, [e][/x]=3x + 1



2.how to find its roots?



The Attempt at a Solution

[e][/x]? Do you mean ex= 3x+1?

The obvious solution to that is x= 0 so you must mean something else.
 
but have to contain 2 roots, right?
 
Do you mean e/x = 3x + 1?

Before we can give you help, we need to understand what the equation is you're solving.
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
