a²+ b² = c² is the formula for pythagorean theorem.

it is used to find out the hypotenuse(the side opposite the 90° angle) of a right angled triangle.

the two sides adjacent to the 90° angles are 'a' and 'c'. the theory is that if you add the squares of a and b, the hypotenuse is equal to c².

Find T5(x) : Taylor polynomial of degree 5 of the function f(x)=cos(x) at a=0 . (You need to enter function.) T5(x)= Find all va

Burka [1]

Answer:

$\bf cos(x)\approx1-\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{4!}=\\\\=1-\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{24}$

The polynomial is an approximation with an error less than or equals to 0.002652 for x in the interval

[-1.113826815, 1.113826815]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Taylor's theorem

$\bf f(x)=f(0)+f'(0)x+f''(0)\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+f^{(3)}(0)\displaystyle\frac{x^3}{3!}+f^{(4)}(0)\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{4!}+f^{(5)}(0)\displaystyle\frac{x^5}{5!}+R_6(x)$

with

$\bf R_6(x)=f^{(6)}(c)\displaystyle\frac{x^6}{6!}$

for some c in the interval (-x, x)

In the particular case f

f(x)=cos(x)

we have

$\bf f'(x)=-sin(x)\\f''(x)=-cos(x)\\f^{(3)}(x)=sin(x)\\f^{(4)}(x)=cos(x)\\f^{(5)}(x)=-sin(x)\\f^{(6)}(x)=-cos(x)$

therefore

$\bf f'(x)=-sin(0)=0\\f''(0)=-cos(0)=-1\\f^{(3)}(0)=sin(0)=0\\f^{(4)}(0)=cos(0)=1\\f^{(5)}(0)=-sin(0)=0$

and the polynomial approximation of T5(x) of cos(x) would be

$\bf cos(x)\approx1-\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{4!}=\\\\=1-\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{2}+\displaystyle\frac{x^4}{24}$

In order to find all the values of x for which this approximation is within 0.002652 of the right answer, we notice that

$\bf R_6(x)=-cos(c)\displaystyle\frac{x^6}{6!}$

for some c in (-x,x). So

$\bf |R_6(x)|\leq|\displaystyle\frac{x^6}{6!}|=\displaystyle\frac{|x|^6}{6!}$

and we must find the values of x for which

$\bf \displaystyle\frac{|x|^6}{6!}\leq0.002652$

Working this inequality out, we find

$\bf \displaystyle\frac{|x|^6}{6!}\leq0.002652\Rightarrow |x|^6\leq1.90944\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow |x|\leq\sqrt[6]{1.90944}\Rightarrow |x|\leq1.113826815$

Therefore the polynomial is an approximation with an error less than or equals to 0.002652 for x in the interval

[-1.113826815, 1.113826815]

Dion practiced the long jump . He jumped 3.05 meters,2.74 meters and 3.3 meters.What was the average length of Dion's jumps?

All you do is subtract 3.05 and 2.74 then do the same thing with the other ones and see what number is between all of them. What grade are you in
