Question 383758: Hi, Stuck here with this particular problem, please can somebody help
The equation governing the buckling load P of a strut with one end fixed and the other end simply supported is given by tan (Mu)L = (Mu)L where (Mu) = Sqrt (P/EI), L the length of the strut and EI the flexural rigidity of the strut.
By writing x = (Mu)L, solve the equation tan x = x using three iterations of the Newton-Raphson method, taking
an initial approximation x0 = 4.5

Question 385217: i'm learning polynomials and such in class and a question came up in one of my group tests. i asked someone else for help and they showed me how to do it but i don't get how to get from the equation to the answer.
i do not understand how 2w^2+11w=84 gets to whatever the weird answer was. i do not understand how it is a quadratic equation and how to simplify it...please help and thanks so much.
PS. the problem i had on my group test was this:
The length of a picture is one inch less than twice its width. the frame around the picture has a uniform width of two inches and an area of 96 square inches. what are the dimensions of the picture?
i did the equation like this:
(2w+3)(w+4)=96
which simplified to:
2w^2+11w=84
