ddd [48]

Let $x be the amount of money which Kelci has raised. Brianna has raised 3 times more money than kelci, then she has raised $3x. Totally both have aised $(x+3x)=$4x.

Since together they have raised more than $300, then 4x>300,

$x\ \textgreater \ \dfrac{300}{4}$ .
Answer: the inequality $x\ \textgreater \ \dfrac{300}{4}$ can be used to determine the amount of money kelci has raised

Answer:

Step 2 contains error in the given problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

$\frac{1}{2}x-3=\frac{1}{3}x+6$

Step 1: identifying the LCM.

The LCM identified is 6.

This step is correct.

In the next step, we multiply the LCM with each term of the equation.

Step 2:

$\frac{6}{1}(\frac{1}{2}x) -3 =\frac{6}{1}(\frac{1}{3}x)+6$

However,

In the given solution, the LCM is not multiplied with each term.

Hence,

Step 2 contains error in the given problem.

The total revenue R earned (in dollars) from producing a gift box of candles is given by R(p)=-10p^2+800p, where p is the price

kherson [118]

A.) R(20) = -10(20)^2 + 800(20) = -10(400) + 16000 = -4000 + 16000 = $12,000

R(25) = -10(25)^2 + 800(25) = -10(625) + 20000 = -6250 + 20000 = $13,750

R(30) = -10(30)^2 + 800(30) = -10(900) + 24000 = -9000 + 24000 = $15,000

b.) For maximum revenue, dR/dp = 0
dR/dp = -20p + 800 = 0
20p = 800
p = 40

Therefore, the maximum revenue will be recorded when the price is set at $40.

How many nonzero terms of the Maclaurin series for ln(1 x) do you need to use to estimate ln(1.4) to within 0.001?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The estimate of In(1.4) is the first five non-zero terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We are to find the estimate of In(1 . 4) within 0.001 by applying the function of the Maclaurin series for f(x) = In (1 + x)

So, by the application of Maclurin Series which can be expressed as:

$f(x) = f(0) + \dfrac{xf'(0)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2 f"(0)}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3f'(0)}{3!}+... \ \ \ \ \ --- (1)$

Let examine f(x) = In(1+x), then find its derivatives;

f(x) = In(1+x)

$f'(x) = \dfrac{1}{1+x}$

f'(0) $= \dfrac{1}{1+0}=1$

f ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{1}{(1+x)^2}$

f ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{1}{(1+0)^2}=-1$

f ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{2}{(1+x)^3}$

f ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{2}{(1+0)^3} = 2$

f ' ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{6}{(1+x)^4}$

f ' ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{6}{(1+0)^4}=-6$

f ' ' ' ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{24}{(1+x)^5} = 24$

f ' ' ' ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{24}{(1+0)^5} = 24$

Now, the next process is to substitute the above values back into equation (1)

$f(x) = f(0) + \dfrac{xf'(0)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2f' \ '(0)}{2!}+\dfrac{x^3f \ '\ '\ '(0)}{3!}+\dfrac{x^4f '\ '\ ' \ ' \(0)}{4!}+\dfrac{x^5f' \ ' \ ' \ ' \ '0)}{5!}+ ...$

$In(1+x) = o + \dfrac{x(1)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2(-1)}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3(2)}{3!}+ \dfrac{x^4(-6)}{4!}+ \dfrac{x^5(24)}{5!}+ ...$

$In (1+x) = x - \dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}- \dfrac{x^6}{6}+...$

To estimate the value of In(1.4), let's replace x with 0.4

$In (1+x) = x - \dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}- \dfrac{x^6}{6}+...$

$In (1+0.4) = 0.4 - \dfrac{0.4^2}{2}+\dfrac{0.4^3}{3}-\dfrac{0.4^4}{4}+\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}- \dfrac{0.4^6}{6}+...$

Therefore, from the above calculations, we will realize that the value of $\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}= 0.002048$ as well as $\dfrac{0.4^6}{6}= 0.00068267$ which are less than 0.001

Hence, the estimate of In(1.4) to the term is $\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}$ is said to be enough to justify our claim.

∴

The estimate of In(1.4) is the first five non-zero terms.
