4x-9=7x+12
+9 +9
4x=7x+21
-7x -7x
-3x=21
x=-7
First, you add 9 to 12
Next, you subtract 7x to 4x
Lastly, you divide 21 by -3
Basically, you want to just get x by itself. Once you do that you will be all good. :)

First you bring the x to one side so u subtract 4x from 7x and you get the new equation as -9=3x+12 then you just solve and you get x is equal to -7

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 0.002652 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

f(x)=cos(x)

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

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