Answer:

The number will be -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number as x.

Given:

⇒ 5 less than twice a number that will be 2x - 5, which is equal to half the difference of three times the number and 13

We have to find the number.

Solution:

The difference of three times the number and 13 could be represented as : 3x - 13

The value be equal to \frac{1}{2} of this 3x - 13 ⇒ \frac{1}{2}  ( 3x - 13 )

As we can see here,

  • That we got a equation ⇒ 2x - 5 = \frac{1}{2}  ( 3x - 13 )

Now, we can solve the above equation:

2x - 5 = \frac{1}{2}  ( 3x - 13 )

We have multiply both sides by 2 ⇒ 4x - 10 = 3x - 13

then, ⇒ x - 10 = -13

   ⇒   x = -3  

Hence we can say that number which was assumed as x will be -3.

Find the distance between the two points.<br> (-6, -7) and (154, - 43)
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

(160, 36)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is always positive because, well, you aren't -50 meters away from your house or something. You are just 50 meters away from your house. And 160 is the distance between -6 and 154, because there is one minus and one plus, you add them, because that is how far they are apart, and then-43 and -7 were easy just subtract them.

The product of the roots of the equation x2 + x=2 is:<br> 0-2<br> 01
gregori [183]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + x=2

Subtract 2 from each side

x^2 + x-2=2-2

x^2 + x-2=0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -2 and add to 1

2*-1 = -2

2+-1 =1

(x-1)(x+2)=0

Using the zero product property

x-1 = 0  x+2 = 0

x=1        x = -2

Product of the roots

1*-2 = -2

Consider the function f(x)=xln(x). Let Tn be the nth degree Taylor approximation of f(2) about x=1. Find: T1, T2, T3. find |R3|
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

R3 <= 0.083

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=xlnx,

The derivatives are as follows:

f'(x)=1+lnx,

f"(x)=1/x,

f"'(x)=-1/x²

f^(4)(x)=2/x³

Simialrly;

f(1) = 0,

f'(1) = 1,

f"(1) = 1,

f"'(1) = -1,

f^(4)(1) = 2

As such;

T1 = f(1) + f'(1)(x-1)

T1 = 0+1(x-1)

T1 = x - 1

T2 = f(1)+f'(1)(x-1)+f"(1)/2(x-1)^2

T2 = 0+1(x-1)+1(x-1)^2

T2 = x-1+(x²-2x+1)/2

T2 = x²/2 - 1/2

T3 = f(1)+f'(1)(x-1)+f"(1)/2(x-1)^2+f"'(1)/6(x-1)^3

T3 = 0+1(x-1)+1/2(x-1)^2-1/6(x-1)^3

T3 = 1/6 (-x^3 + 6 x^2 - 3 x - 2)

Thus, T1(2) = 2 - 1

T1(2) = 1

T2 (2) = 2²/2 - 1/2

T2 (2) = 3/2

T2 (2) = 1.5

T3(2) = 1/6 (-2^3 + 6 *2^2 - 3 *2 - 2)

T3(2) = 4/3

T3(2) = 1.333

Since;

f(2) = 2 × ln(2)

f(2) = 2×0.693147 =

f(2) = 1.386294

Since;

f(2) >T3; it is significant to posit that T3 is an underestimate of f(2).

Then; we have, R3 <= | f^(4)(c)/(4!)(x-1)^4 |,

Since;

f^(4)(x)=2/x^3, we have, |f^(4)(c)| <= 2

Finally;

R3 <= |2/(4!)(2-1)^4|

R3 <= | 2 / 24× 1 |

R3 <= 1/12

R3 <= 0.083
