-39°C is <em>75 Celsius degrees</em> "warmer" than -114°C . . .
if you could call either one "warm".

( 75 Celsius degrees warmer is the same as 135 Fahrenheit degrees warmer.)

The problem is worded a bit confusing, but think of it as if -39 degrees celcius is the freezing point for mercury. The solution is: 75 degrees Celcius.

How many nonzero terms of the Maclaurin series for ln(1 x) do you need to use to estimate ln(1.4) to within 0.001?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The estimate of In(1.4) is the first five non-zero terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We are to find the estimate of In(1 . 4) within 0.001 by applying the function of the Maclaurin series for f(x) = In (1 + x)

So, by the application of Maclurin Series which can be expressed as:

$f(x) = f(0) + \dfrac{xf'(0)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2 f"(0)}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3f'(0)}{3!}+... \ \ \ \ \ --- (1)$

Let examine f(x) = In(1+x), then find its derivatives;

f(x) = In(1+x)

$f'(x) = \dfrac{1}{1+x}$

f'(0) $= \dfrac{1}{1+0}=1$

f ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{1}{(1+x)^2}$

f ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{1}{(1+0)^2}=-1$

f ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{2}{(1+x)^3}$

f ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{2}{(1+0)^3} = 2$

f ' ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{6}{(1+x)^4}$

f ' ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{6}{(1+0)^4}=-6$

f ' ' ' ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{24}{(1+x)^5} = 24$

f ' ' ' ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{24}{(1+0)^5} = 24$

Now, the next process is to substitute the above values back into equation (1)

$f(x) = f(0) + \dfrac{xf'(0)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2f' \ '(0)}{2!}+\dfrac{x^3f \ '\ '\ '(0)}{3!}+\dfrac{x^4f '\ '\ ' \ ' \(0)}{4!}+\dfrac{x^5f' \ ' \ ' \ ' \ '0)}{5!}+ ...$

$In(1+x) = o + \dfrac{x(1)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2(-1)}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3(2)}{3!}+ \dfrac{x^4(-6)}{4!}+ \dfrac{x^5(24)}{5!}+ ...$

$In (1+x) = x - \dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}- \dfrac{x^6}{6}+...$

To estimate the value of In(1.4), let's replace x with 0.4

$In (1+x) = x - \dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}- \dfrac{x^6}{6}+...$

$In (1+0.4) = 0.4 - \dfrac{0.4^2}{2}+\dfrac{0.4^3}{3}-\dfrac{0.4^4}{4}+\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}- \dfrac{0.4^6}{6}+...$

Therefore, from the above calculations, we will realize that the value of $\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}= 0.002048$ as well as $\dfrac{0.4^6}{6}= 0.00068267$ which are less than 0.001

Hence, the estimate of In(1.4) to the term is $\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}$ is said to be enough to justify our claim.

∴

The estimate of In(1.4) is the first five non-zero terms.

3(x-1)=2x+9 help me :(

Flura [38]

3(x - 1) = 2x + 9
3x - 3 = 2x + 9
3x (-2x) -3 (+3) = 2x (-2x) + 9 (+9)
(3x -2x) = (9 + 9)
(x) = (18)
x = 18

x = 18 is your answer

hope this helps

A shoe manufacturer was investigating the weights of men's soccer cleats. He felt that the weight of these cleats was less than

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The conclusion is that the researcher was correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 13$

The sample mean is $\= x = 9.63$

The standard deviation is $s = 0.585$

The significance level is $\alpha = 0.05$

The Null Hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 0$

The Alternative Hypothesis is $H_a = \mu < 10$

The test statistic is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$

Substituting values

$t = \frac{9.63 - 10 }{\frac{0.585}{\sqrt{13} } }$

$t = - 2.280$

Now the critical value for $\alpha$ is

$t_{\alpha } = 1.645$

This obtained from the critical value table

So comparing the critical value of alpha and the test value we see that the test value is less than the critical value so the Null Hypothesis is rejected

The conclusion is that the researcher was correct
