Answer:

Approximation f(25.3)=5.03 (real value=5.0299)

The approximation can be written as f(x)=0.1x+2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to approximate f(25.3)=\sqrt{25.3} with a linear function.

To approximate a function, we can use the Taylor series.

f(x)=\sum_1^{\infty} \frac{f^{(n)}(a)}{n!}(x-a)^n

The point a should be a point where the value of f(a) is known or easy to calculate.

In this case, the appropiate value for a is a=25.

Then we calculate the Taylor series with a number of terms needed to make a linear estimation.

f(x)\approx f(a)+\frac{f'(a)}{1!}(x-a)

The value of f'(a) needs the first derivate:

f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\\\\f'(a)=f'(25)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{25}}=\frac{1}{2*5}=\frac{1}{10}

Then

f(x)\approx f(25)+\frac{1}{10}(x-25)=\sqrt{25} +\frac{1}{10}(x-25)\\\\f(x)\approx 5+\frac{1}{10}(x-25)

We evaluate for x=25.3

f(25.3)\approx 5+\frac{1}{10}(25.3-25)\\\\f(25.3)\approx 5+\frac{1}{10}(0.3)=5.03

If we rearrange the approximation to be in the form mx+b we have:

f(x)\approx 5+\frac{1}{10}(x-25)=5+0.1x-2.5\\\\f(x)\approx 0.1x+2.5

Then, m=0.1 and b=2.5.

Answer:

<em>y = - x + 5 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A(1, 4)

B(4, 1)

m_{AB} = \frac{1-4}{4-1} = - 1

y - 1 = - 1 ( x - 4 )

<em>y = - x + 5</em>

The domain of both f(x) = x - 6 and g(x) = x + 6 is all real numbers. What is the domain of h(x) = f(x)/g(x)?
arlik [135]
This is a quotient (division) of two functions we must be concerned with the fact that division by zero is undefined.

Since g(x) is in the divisor position, it cannot equal 0.
x+6 \neq 0
x \neq -6 Subtract 6 from both sides to solve.
So the domain is all real numbers except -6
Set notation {x | x ∈ R, x ≠ -6}
Interval notation (-∞,-6)∪(-6,∞)

Which graph represents the function f(x)=4*3^x (f times x equals 4 times three to the power of x)
pychu [463]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the first graph in the second line.

Step-by-step explanation:

First graph in the first line: it shows a positive graph that intercepts the y-axis in 5, then this graph is not the correct answer.

Second graph in the first line: it shows a negative graph, this option is incorrect, we look for a positive graph.

First graph in the second line: is correct because is a positive graph and intercpts the y-axis in 4.

Second graph in the second line: is incorrect although it is a positive graph, it intercepts the y-axis in 3.
