The z-score for 81 is 1.75

<h3>How to determine the z-score for 81?</h3>

The given parameters are:

μ = 60 , X=81, and σ = 12

The z scores is calculated using:

$z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

Substitute the given values

$z = \frac{81 - 60}{12}$

Evaluate the difference

$z = \frac{21}{12}$

Simplify

z = 1.75

Hence, the z-score for 81 is 1.75

Find T5(x) : Taylor polynomial of degree 5 of the function f(x)=cos(x) at a=0 . (You need to enter function.) T5(x)= Find all va

Burka [1]

Answer:

$\bf cos(x)\approx1-\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{4!}=\\\\=1-\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{24}$

The polynomial is an approximation with an error less than or equals to <em>0.002652</em> for x in the interval

[-1.113826815, 1.113826815]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Taylor's theorem

$\bf f(x)=f(0)+f'(0)x+f''(0)\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+f^{(3)}(0)\displaystyle\frac{x^3}{3!}+f^{(4)}(0)\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{4!}+f^{(5)}(0)\displaystyle\frac{x^5}{5!}+R_6(x)$

with

$\bf R_6(x)=f^{(6)}(c)\displaystyle\frac{x^6}{6!}$

for some c in the interval (-x, x)

In the particular case f

we have

$\bf f'(x)=-sin(x)\\f''(x)=-cos(x)\\f^{(3)}(x)=sin(x)\\f^{(4)}(x)=cos(x)\\f^{(5)}(x)=-sin(x)\\f^{(6)}(x)=-cos(x)$

therefore

$\bf f'(x)=-sin(0)=0\\f''(0)=-cos(0)=-1\\f^{(3)}(0)=sin(0)=0\\f^{(4)}(0)=cos(0)=1\\f^{(5)}(0)=-sin(0)=0$

and the polynomial approximation of T5(x) of cos(x) would be

$\bf cos(x)\approx1-\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{4!}=\\\\=1-\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{24}$

In order to find all the values of x for which this approximation is within 0.002652 of the right answer, we notice that

$\bf R_6(x)=-cos(c)\displaystyle\frac{x^6}{6!}$

for some c in (-x,x). So

$\bf |R_6(x)|\leq|\displaystyle\frac{x^6}{6!}|=\displaystyle\frac{|x|^6}{6!}$

and we must find the values of x for which

$\bf \displaystyle\frac{|x|^6}{6!}\leq0.002652$

Working this inequality out, we find

$\bf \displaystyle\frac{|x|^6}{6!}\leq0.002652\Rightarrow |x|^6\leq1.90944\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow |x|\leq\sqrt[6]{1.90944}\Rightarrow |x|\leq1.113826815$

Therefore the polynomial is an approximation with an error less than or equals to 0.002652 for x in the interval

[-1.113826815, 1.113826815]

What is the answer to 1/2-1/5

Scorpion4ik [409]

First you need to find the common denominator. Think of a number that both 2 and 5 can go in to evenly. 10 is the best number, so, make both denominators 10. What you do to the bottom, you must do to the top.
Now your equation is 5/10-2/10
Your answer is 3/10
