Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear approximation is basically using the equation of a tangent line to approximate values of f.

For example

we have function

(x + 1) {}^{2}

First, things first, let take the derivative to get the gradient function.

\frac{d}{dx} (x + 1) {}^{2}   = 2(x + 1)(1) = 2(x + 1)

Note: I used the chain rule.

so we get

2(x + 1)

Now, notice the formula for tangent approximation.

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x  - a)

Here x=7.8

a is 8 so we get

f(7.8) = f(8) + f'(8)(7.8 - 8)

To find f(8), plug 8 into the original function for x.

(8 + 1) {}^{2}  = 81

To find f'(8), plug 8 into the derivative function.

2(8 + 1) = 18

So we get

f(7.8) = 81 + 18( - 0.2)

f(7.8) = 81 - 3.6

f(7.8) = 77.4

Answer:

A.  77.4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear approximation formula</u>

L(x)=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)

Given function:

f(x)=(x+1)^2

\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.4 cm}\underline{Chain Rule for Differentiation}\\\\If  $y=f(u)$  and  $u=g(x)$  then:\\\\$\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}u}\times \dfrac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}$\\\end{minipage}}

\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Differentiating $x^n$}\\\\If  $y=x^n$, then $\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=xn^{n-1}$\\\end{minipage}}

\boxed{\begin{minipage}{4 cm}\underline{Differentiating $ax$}\\\\If  $y=ax$, then $\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=a$\\\end{minipage}}

Use the chain rule to differentiate the function.

\textsf{Let }\:y=u^2\:\textsf{ where }u=(x+1)

Differentiate the two parts separately:

  y=u^2 \implies \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}u}=2u

  u=x+1 \implies \dfrac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}=1

Put everything back into the chain rule formula:

\begin{aligned} \implies \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} & =2u \times 1\\ & = 2u \\ & = 2(x+1)\\ & = 2x+2 \end{aligned}

\textsf{Therefore, }\:f'(x)=2x+2..

The <u>linear approximation</u> at a = 8 is:

\begin{aligned}L(x) & =f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)\\\\\implies L(x) & = f(8)+f'(8)(x-8)\\& = (8+1)^2+(2(8)+2)(x-8)\\& = 81+18(x-8)\\& = 18x-63\end{aligned}

Finally, substitute x = 7.8 into the <u>linear approximation equation</u>:

\begin{aligned}\implies L(7.8) & =18(7.8)-63\\& = 140.4-63\\& = 77.4\end{aligned}

Answer:

<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AC}{AJ}=\dfrac{AB}{AK}

We have:

AC = 1 + 4 = 5

AJ = 1

AB = 1 + x

AK = 1

Substitute:

\dfrac{5}{1}=\dfrac{1+x}{1}

5=1+x           <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

4=x\to x=4

2.

ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{VU}{VM}=\dfrac{VT}{VN}

We hve:

VU = x + 8

VM = x

VT = 49

VN = 49 - 14 = 35

Substitute:

\dfrac{x+8}{x}=\dfrac{49}{35}              <em>cross multiply</em>

35(x+8)=49x          <em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>

35x+280=49x              <em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>

280=14x         <em>divide both sides by 14</em>

20=x\to x=20

4y+12=0<br> How do I get the two points to be graphed
coldgirl [10]

Did somebody say you're supposed to draw the graph of the equation ?
Is that the assignment ?

OK.  Just like every other equation you need to graph, get it in the
standard form, where 'y' is all alone on one side, and everything else
is on the other side.  When you do that, you'll be able to spot the slope
and y-intercept of the  line, or get some points, or whatever you want.

                                               4y + 12  =  0

Subtract 12 from each side:          4y  =  -12

Divide each side by 4:                      y  =  -3

There's the equation you can handle. 
The y-intercept is -3, and the slope is zero.

Would you like some points ?  OK.  Pick a couple of values for 'x',
and calculate the value of 'y' for each one:

The first value I picked for 'x':  x = 72 
The equation is  y=-3, so when x=72, y=-3.  The point is (72, -3)

The second value I picked for 'x' is:  x = 1
The equation is  y=-3, so when x=1,  y=-3.    The second point is (1, -3).

The third value I picked for 'x' is 4 billion.
The equation is  y=-3, so when x=4 billion, y=-3.  The third point is  (1, -3).

Do you see what's going on here ?  Your original equation didn't even
have 'x' in it, so we could tell right away that when the graph is drawn,
the value of 'y' at every point can't depend on 'x'.

When we simplified the equation and got it in standard form, we found that
the slope of the graph is zero.  That means the graph doesn't rise or fall ...
it's just a horizontal line.  Sure enough, the height of points on the line
doesn't depend on 'x'.  The value of 'y' at every point on the line is  -3 .
