Question: 3 - ( 2 5 % ) The oxygen level in a river can be modelled with the following equation: C = 1 0 m

3-(25%) The oxygen level in a river can be modelled with the following equation:
C=10mgL-20(e-(0.3(km))x-e-(0.85(km))x)mgL
Where C is the concentration in mgL and x is the position in km downstream of a water treatment plant. Use the False Position and Secant method in order to get an approximation of the distance downstream where:
a. The concentration will be below 5mgL.
b. The concentration will start to be above 5mgL again.
ii. Find the answer with 2 significant figures.
iii. Calculate the convergence rate for each iteration and compare the convergence of the two methods. Did you achieve the highest convergence rate?
