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

 
Physics news on Phys.org
[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.
