Answer:

the least integer for n is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

f(x) = ln(1+x)

centered at x=0

Pn(0.2)

Error < 0.01

We will use the format;

[[Max(f^(n+1) (c))]/(n + 1)!] × 0.2^(n+1) < 0.01

So;

f(x) = ln(1+x)

First derivative: f'(x) = 1/(x + 1) < 0! = 1

2nd derivative: f"(x) = -1/(x + 1)² < 1! = 1

3rd derivative: f"'(x) = 2/(x + 1)³ < 2! = 2

4th derivative: f""(x) = -6/(x + 1)⁴ < 3! = 6

This follows that;

Max|f^(n+1) (c)| < n!

Thus, error is;

(n!/(n + 1)!) × 0.2^(n + 1) < 0.01

This gives;

(1/(n + 1)) × 0.2^(n + 1) < 0.01

Let's try n = 1

(1/(1 + 1)) × 0.2^(1 + 1) = 0.02

This is greater than 0.01 and so it will not work.

Let's try n = 2

(1/(2 + 1)) × 0.2^(2 + 1) = 0.00267

This is less than 0.01.

So,the least integer for n is 2

The Perimeter is x+38
OLga [1]
P=x+38

add all individual sides together (is also the perimeter):
p=(x+3)+(x-5)+x+(x-2)+(x-4)+(x-1)+(x-1)
=7x-10

set both p equal:
x+38=7x-10
38=6x-10
48=6x
8=x

then insert x=8 in all the side/perimeter equations:
p=x+38=8+38=46

sides:
x=8
x-2=8-2=6
x-1=8-1=7
x-4=8-4=4
x-5=8-5=3
x+3=8+3=11

A midsegment connecting two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to which
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

One half (1/2) the measurement of the third side

Step-by-step explanation:

Mid segment theorem defines the relationship between the constructed line joining the midpoint of two sides of a triangle, and parallel to the third side of the triangle which is also called the midsegment

Whereby the angles are defined by the proportion of the sides, the midsegment will have a length which is half the measurement of the length of the third side.
