So it tells us that g(3) = -5 and g'(x) = x^2 + 7.
So g(3) = -5 is the point (3, -5)
Using linear approximation
g(2.99) is the point (2.99, g(3) + g'(3)*(2.99-3))
now we just need to simplify that
(2.99, -5 + (16)*(-.01)) which is (2.99, -5 + -.16) which is (2.99, -5.16)
So g(2.99) = -5.16
Doing the same thing for the other g(3.01)
(3.01, g(3) + g'(3)*(3.01-3))
(3.01, -5 + 16*.01) which is (3.01, -4.84)
So g(3.01) = -4.84
So we have our linear approximation for the two.
If you wanted to, you could check your answer by finding g(x). Since you know g'(x), take the antiderivative and we will get
g(x) = 1/3x^3 + 7x + C
Since we know g(3) = -5, we can use that to solve for C
1/3(3)^3 + 7(3) + C = -5 and we find that C = -35
so that means g(x) = (x^3)/3 + 7x - 35
So just to check our linear approximations use that to find g(2.99) and g(3.01)
g(2.99) = -5.1597
g(3.01) = -4.8397
So as you can see, using the linear approximation we got our answers as
g(2.99) = -5.16
g(3.01) = -4.84
which are both really close to the actual answer. Not a bad method if you ever need to use it.
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
2x25=50-5=45
The slope is undefined because you need a y intercept as well.
Answer:
6 Hours
Explanation:
Linear Equation: mx+b=y
x variable: Hour
Hourly Fee: $15(x)
(Initial) Rent Fee: $25
Balance: $100
Equation:
15x+25=100
15x+25-25=100-25 -- <em>Separate the constant terms from the x by subtracting 25 from both sides.</em>
15x=100
15x/15=100/15 --<em> Isolate the x variable by dividing 15 from both sides.</em>
x=6.6.. <em>-- Round down to 6 (not 7) because you can't afford to snowboard for 7 hours with less than $15. </em>
x=6 Hours
