<span>When adding up fractions, the idea is to bring them to a common denominator. In our case, the common denominator is 12. So we must amplify each fraction in order to bring its denominator to 12. 1/6 becomes 1*2/6*2 = 2/12. 2/3 becomes 2*4/3*4. 1/4 becomes 1*3/4*3. When we sum them up we get 2/12 + 8/12 + 3/13 or 13/12, which is (12+1)/12 or 12/12 + 1/12 or 1+ 1/12. So the answer is C.</span>

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 3 and -5, and whose leading coefficient is 2.

Rainbow [258]

$\begin{cases} x=3\implies &x-3=0\\ x=-5\implies &x+5=0 \end{cases}\qquad \implies\qquad a(x-3)(x+5)=\stackrel{0}{y} \\\\\\ a(\stackrel{F~O~I~L}{x^2+2x-15})=y\implies \stackrel{\textit{leading coefficient of 2}}{2(x^2+2x-15)}=y\implies 2x^2+4x-30=y$

What is 44/3 as a whole or mixed number in simplest form.

Kay [80]

$\dfrac{44}{3}=\dfrac{42+2}{3}=\dfrac{42}{3}+\dfrac{2}{3}=14+\dfrac{2}{3}=14\dfrac{2}{3}$

you can use long division with Remainder (look at the picture).

$\dfrac{44}{3}=44:3=14\ + R(2)=14\dfrac{2}{3}$

1. Use the given Taylor polynomial p 2 to approximate the given quantity.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Part 1:

P₂(0.07)=0.93245≈ $e^{-0.07}$

Part 2:

Error= $0.5618*10^{-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$f(x)=e^{x}\\f(-0.07)=e^{-0.07}$

P₂(x)= $1-x+\frac{x^2}{2}$

Solution:

Part 1:

P₂(x)= $1-x+\frac{x^2}{2}$

We have x=0.07

Put Value of x in above Equation:

P₂(0.07)= $1-0.07+\frac{0.07^2}{2}$

P₂(0.07)=0.93245≈ $e^{-0.07}$

Part 2:

$e^{-0.07}$ =0.93239382 (Calculated using Calculator)

Error=| $e^{-0.07}$ -P₂(0.07)|=|0.93239382-0.93245|=0.00005618

Error=|0.93239382-0.93245|

Error=0.00005618

Error= $0.5618*10^{-4}$
