Answer:

well it really depends on how and what number you put for the n like I put 10 and so the way jane said it should be doesnt work because 10-6 just doesnt make sense and you could do it a different way but if you had do 10-6 it wouldve been in the negatives and it wouldnt have been 4 so in this case we have more choices so I would say jack is right because it is more reasonable to do 6-n=4 and instead of the n we put a 10

What is the minimum amount of real solutions a quintic polynomial can have

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this is right, but I think it's 1. If you think about the simplest quintic polynomial, x^5, and set it to any real number, you'll always get 1 solution. I don't think it's possible to have 0 or no real solutions. Hope this helps!

Find quadratic polynomial which best fits the function f(x)=e^x and x=0, in the sense that g(0)= f(0), and g'(0) = f'(0), and g"

Dmitriy789 [7]

Let $g(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ . Then

$\begin{cases}g(0)=c\\g'(0)=b\\g''(0)=2a\end{cases}$

Meanwhile, since $f(x)=e^x$ , you have $f(0)=f'(0)=f''(0)=e^0=1$ .

It follows that $a=\dfrac12$ , $b=1$ , and $c=1$ , so that the quadratic fit for $f(x)=e^x$ that satisfies the given points is

$g(x)=\dfrac12x^2+x+1$

Note that this is just the second-order Taylor polynomial for $e^x$ about $x=0$ .
