Start at point x and count down until you are in line with point y. (This will be five units). From the point you just ended at, count across until you get to point y. (This will be 9 units). Five units and nine units are the lengths of your two legs. The Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2. So you then take 5^2+9^2=c^2, or 25+81=c^2, or 106=c^2. Then square root each side, and get 10.2956=c. Therefore the distance between points x and y is 10.2956, or 10.3 if you choose to round.

A cylinder has a volume of 245 cubic units and a height of 5 units. the diameter of a cylinder is?

Vadim26 [7]

Volume = πd^2h/4
245 = π x d^2 x 5/4
d^2 = (245 x 4)/5π = 62.39
d = sqrt(62.39) = 7.9 units

Can someone help please

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Hello there! I can help you! The formula for compound interest is P(1 + r)^t, where P= principal (initial amount), r = interest rate (in decimal form), and t = time (in years). Let's do this step by step. First off, we add the rate into 1. 4% is the interest rate (0.04 in decimal form). 1 + 0.04 is 1.04. Now, what we will do is raise that number to the 2nd power, because the time that elapses is 2 years. 1.04² is 1.0816. That's that. Now, multiply 7,500 to find the total amount of money. 1.0816 * 7,500 is 8,112. There. Toby's savings account balance in 2 years is £8,112.

Note: To solve for compound interest questions like it, add 1 to the percentage rate in decimal form, raise that number to a power based on the number of years (for example, raise the number to the 7th power if we are looking for the balance after 7 years), and then multiply that number by the starting amount. After you raise the number by a power, there may be a lot of numbers behind it. Whatever you do, DO NOT delete the number. Keep it there and multiply it by the principal.

In 2000, 49 %49% of the residents in a large city regularly used newspapers for getting news and this has decreased at an avera

kogti [31]

Answer:

P(x) = -1.1x +49

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the percentage in 2000 (for x=0) as 49, and told that its rate of change is -1.1 percent per year. So, with a slope of -1.1 and an intercept of 49, the slope-intercept form of the linear equation becomes ...

P(x) = -1.1x +49

_____

The slope-intercept form for slope m and y-intercept b is ...

y = mx + b

1. Approximate the given quantity using a Taylor polynomial with n3.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

See the explanation for the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

$f(x) = x^{1/4}$

The n-th order Taylor polynomial for function f with its center at a is:

$p_{n}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(n)}a}{n!} (x-a)^{n}$

As n = 3 So,

$p_{3}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(3)}a}{3!} (x-a)^{3}$

$p_{3}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(3)}a}{6} (x-a)^{3}$

$p_{3}(x) = a^{1/4} + \frac{1}{4a^{ 3/4} } (x-a)+ (\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{3}{16a^{7/4} } ) (x-a)^{2} + (\frac{1}{6})(\frac{21}{64a^{11/4} } ) (x-a)^{3}$

$p_{3}(x) = 81^{1/4} + \frac{1}{4(81)^{ 3/4} } (x-81)+ (\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{3}{16(81)^{7/4} } ) (x-81)^{2} + (\frac{1}{6})(\frac{21}{64(81)^{11/4} } ) (x-81)^{3}$

$p_{3} (x)$ = 3 + 0.0092592593 (x - 81) + 1/2 ( - 0.000085733882) (x - 81)² + 1/6

(0.0000018522752) (x-81)³

$p_{3} (x)$ = 0.0092592593 x - 0.000042866941 (x - 81)² + 0.00000030871254

(x-81)³ + 2.25

Hence approximation at given quantity i.e.

x = 94

Putting x = 94

$p_{3} (94)$ = 0.0092592593 (94) - 0.000042866941 (94 - 81)² +

0.00000030871254 (94-81)³ + 2.25

= 0.87037 03742 - 0.000042866941 (13)² + 0.00000030871254(13)³ +

2.25

= 0.87037 03742 - 0.000042866941 (169) +

0.00000030871254(2197) + 2.25

= 0.87037 03742 - 0.007244513029 + 0.0006782414503 + 2.25

$p_{3} (94)$ = 3.113804102621

Compute the absolute error in the approximation assuming the exact value is given by a calculator.

Compute $\sqrt[4]{94}$ as $94^{1/4}$ using calculator

Exact value:

$E_{a}$ (94) = 3.113737258478

Compute absolute error:

Err = | 3.113804102621 - 3.113737258478 |

Err (94) = 0.000066844143

If you round off the values then you get error as:

|3.11380 - 3.113737| = 0.000063

Err (94) = 0.000063

If you round off the values up to 4 decimal places then you get error as:

|3.1138 - 3.1137| = 0.0001

Err (94) = 0.0001
