--------------------------------------------------------
Find area of the border :
--------------------------------------------------------
Area of the room = 22 x 25 = 550 ft²
Area of the rug = 238 ft²
Area of the border = 550 - 238 = 312 ft²

--------------------------------------------------------
Define y:
--------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be y.

--------------------------------------------------------
Find area of the border in term of y :
--------------------------------------------------------
The area of the border =  22y x 2 + 25y x 2 - 4y² = 94y - 4y²
*We need to take away 4y² because the 4 corners will be overlap twice if we don't.

--------------------------------------------------------
Solve y :
--------------------------------------------------------
94y - 4y² = 312
4y² - 94y + 312 = 0
2y² - 47y + 156 = 0 
<span>(y - 4)(2y - 39) = 0
</span>y = 4 or y = 19.5
 
--------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The border can be 4 ft or 19.5 ft

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

so this would be the equation

2(2*10)=v

So the number on the outside is the number of stands, the second 2 is for the two rows, and the 10 is the games. I did this because its two rows and combined they make 20 games. It took me a little to figure that out.

This shows the number of games total in both holders.

Find the Taylor series for f(x) centered at the given value of a. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do not show that
juin [17]

Answer:

The Taylor series of f(x) around the point a, can be written as:

f(x) = f(a) + \frac{df}{dx}(a)*(x -a) + (1/2!)\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}(a)*(x - a)^2 + .....

Here we have:

f(x) = 4*cos(x)

a = 7*pi

then, let's calculate each part:

f(a) = 4*cos(7*pi) = -4

df/dx = -4*sin(x)

(df/dx)(a) = -4*sin(7*pi) = 0

(d^2f)/(dx^2) = -4*cos(x)

(d^2f)/(dx^2)(a) = -4*cos(7*pi) = 4

Here we already can see two things:

the odd derivatives will have a sin(x) function that is zero when evaluated in x = 7*pi, and we also can see that the sign will alternate between consecutive terms.

so we only will work with the even powers of the series:

f(x) = -4 + (1/2!)*4*(x - 7*pi)^2 - (1/4!)*4*(x - 7*pi)^4 + ....

So we can write it as:

f(x) = ∑fₙ

Such that the n-th term can written as:

fn = (-1)^{2n + 1}*4*(x - 7*pi)^{2n}
