Answer:
d =
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₉ = 16 , then
- 12 + 8d = 16 ( add 12 to both sides )
8d = 28 ( divide both sides by 8 )
d = =
Answer:
The values of x for which the function can be replaced by the Taylor polynomial if the error cannot exceed 0.001 is 0 < x < 0.3936.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Determine the values of x for which the function can be replaced by the Taylor polynomial if the error cannot exceed 0.001. f(x) = e^x ≈ 1 + x + x²/2! + x³/3!, x < 0
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Given:
f(x) = e^x ≈ 1 + x + x²/2! + x³/3!, x < 0 …………….. (1)
= (x) = (e^z /4!)x^4
Since the aim is (x) < 0.001, this implies that:
(e^z /4!)x^4 < 0.0001 ………………………………….. (2)
Multiply both sided of equation (2) by (1), we have:
e^4x^4 < 0.024 ……………………….......……………. (4)
Taking 4th root of both sided of equation (4), we have:
|xe^(z/4) < 0.3936 ……………………..........…………(5)
Dividing both sides of equation (5) by e^(z/4) gives us:
|x| < 0.3936 / e^(z/4) ……………….................…… (6)
In equation (6), when z > 0, e^(z/4) > 1. Therefore, we have:
|x| < 0.3936 -----> 0 < x < 0.3936
Therefore, the values of x for which the function can be replaced by the Taylor polynomial if the error cannot exceed 0.001 is 0 < x < 0.3936.
Answer: The answer is 30 sq.ft/min and 25 sq.ft/min.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are two spray paint machines. The first machine (nicknamed "Paint Pro") is used for two hours and the second machine (nicknamed "Goldilocks") is used for an hour and a half. When they are working at the same time, they can paint 55 square feet per minute and together they painted 5850 square feet of wall.
Let 'x' and 'y' sq.ft/min be the portion of the wall painted by Paint Pro and Goldilocks respectively.
Then, according to the question, we have
Multiplying first equation by 4 and subtracting the second equation from it, we have
and
Thus, Paint Pro will paint 30 sq.feet per minute and Goldilocks will paint 25 sq.ft per minute.
