(a) Write the equation of the line that represents the linear approximation to the following function at the given point a. (b)

Use the linear approximation to estimate the given quantity. (c) Compute the percent error in the​ approximation, 100 * [ | approximation - exact | Over | exact | ], where the exact value is given by a calculator. f (x)= 3 - 3 x² at a = 1​; ​f(0.9​)

Answer:

  (a) y = -6(x -1)

  (b) about 5.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The point used as the base for the linear approximation is (1, f(1)), where ...

  f(1) = 3 -3·1² = 0

The slope of the line at that point is ...

  f'(x) = 0 -3(2x) = -6x

  f'(1) = -6·1 = -6

So, in point-slope form, the equation of the approximating line is ...

  y = -6(x -1) +0

  y = -6(x -1)

__

(b) The approximate value of f(0.9) is then ...

  y = -6(0.9 -1) = 0.6 . . . . approximate value of f(0.9)

__

(c) The error in the approximation at x=0.9 is ...

  error% = (0.6 -f(0.9))/f(0.9) × 100%

where f(0.9) = 3(1 -0.9²) = 3·0.19 = 0.57

  error% = (0.6 -0.57)/0.57 × 100% = 0.03/0.57 × 100%

  error% ≈ 5.263% ≈ 5.3%

Multiple choice question, do your best !!

Answer: Choice B) 
(y+5)+y = 6

----------------------------------------------------------------

So what we do is start with x+y = 6. We can replace the 'x' with (y+5). This replacement is possible because x = y+6; ie x and y+6 are the same. Another term for "replace" is "substitute"

This is how we're able to go from x+y = 6 to (y+5)+y = 6

How do I simplify this?
Fudgin [204]
This is the theory of algebra, to simply the expression we proceed as follows;
[sqrt(x-2)+5/sqrt(x-2)]/(x-2)
simplifying the numerator we get:
sqrt(x-2)+5/sqrt(x-2)
=[x-2+5]/sqrt(x-2)
=(x+3)/sqrt(x-2)
therefore our entire expression will be:
[(x+3)/sqrt(x-2)]/(x-2)
[(x+3)/(x-2)^(1/2)]*1/(x-2)
applying the law if indices we get
=(x+3)/(x-2)^(3/2)
