Use linear approximation to approximate √25.3 as follows.

Mathematics

Sophie [7]3 years ago
4 0

The idea is to use the tangent line to f(x)=\sqrt x at x=25 in order to approximate f(25.3)=\sqrt{25.3}.

We have

f(x)=\sqrt x\implies f(25)=\sqrt{25}=5

f'(x)=\dfrac1{2\sqrt x}\implies f'(25)=\dfrac1{10}

so the linear approximation to f(x) is

L(x)=f(5)+f'(5)(x-5)=5+\dfrac{x-5}{10}=\dfrac x{10}+\dfrac92

Hence m=\frac1{10} and b=\frac92.

Then

f(25.3)\approx L(25.3)=\dfrac{25.3}{10}+\dfrac92=\boxed{7.03}

From the sum of 4a + b + c and 9a - c subtract the sum of 18a - b - c and 14a - 2b - c
sergiy2304 [10]

1:-

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 4a+b+c+9a-c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 4a+9a+b+c-c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 13a+b

2:-

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 18a-b-c-(14a-2b-c)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 18a-b-c-14a+2b+c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 18a-14a-b+2b-c+c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 4a+b

Alecsey [184]
If x=3 then 5x3=15-2=13+6=19x1/4=4 3/4 so that means that 2 1/4+2 1/2 could be equivalent

P.S.I just chose 3 because it was the first number to pop into my head

A right-angled triangle has sides which are 5 inches and 12 inches. How long is the triangle's hypotenuse?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(5)^2 + (12)^2 = c^2

c^2 = 169 in^2

c = 13 inches
