Part 1: Find the tangent line approximation to cos x at x=π/4.

siniylev [52]3 years ago

Part 1: To find the tangent line, we need a point and a slope because we are using point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)
To get the y-value for our point, plug pi/4 into the original as x
y=cos(x)
y=cos(pi/4)
y=√2/2
Then to find a slope, we need to get the derivative:
y=cos(x)
y'=-sin(x) (and plug in pi/4 as x to find the slope at this point)
=-sin(pi/4)
=-√2/2

So the tangent line is y-√2/2=-√2/2(x-pi/4)

Part 2: I'm not positive on this but I think you're supposed to use this tangent line to approximate the value at x=pi/2 and find the degree of error. 
y-√2/2=-√2/2(pi/2-pi/4)
y=-pi√2/8+√2/2
y=1.3 rounded to the nearest tenth

So since we know that cos(pi/2) is actually 0, the maximum value of error would be 1.3 (1.3-0=1.3)

Hope this helps

If the rate of change (ROC) of the function is quadratic, what is the function type ? Choose the correct answer.
evablogger [386]

If the rate of change (ROC) of the function is quadratic, then the function type is cubic

<h3>What is rate of change?</h3>

The rate of change of a function is the rate at which the output values change over the input value

The rate of change of a function is one degree less than the actual function

This means that, a cubic function will have a quadratic rate of change

Hence, the correct option is (d)

rodney bought a 25pound bag of dog food his dog eat 10and2/5poundsof foodinthe firstmounthand104/5poundsof the foodin the second
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

3⅘ lb  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) <em>Amount eaten</em>

Eaten = 10⅖ + 10⅘

Think of pounds as pies. Each pie has 5 slices.

10⅖ pies = 10 pies + 2 slices = 50 slices + 2 slices = 52 slices

10⅘ pies = 10 pies + 2 slices = 50 slices + 4 slices = 54 slices

Eaten = 52 slices + 54 slices = 106 slices


(b) <em>Amount remaining</em>

Remaining = Original – Eaten

Original = 25 pies = 125 slices

Eaten = 106 slices

Remaining = 125 slices -106 slices

Remaining = 19 slices                 Convert slices to pies

Remaining = 15 slices + 4 slices

Remaining = 3 pies + 4 slices     Convert to mixed fraction

Remaining = 3⅘ pies                   Convert pies to pounds

Remaining dog food = 3⅘ lb
