Answer:

Mean = 272.3

sd = 37.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = sum/n

(221+248+251+255+259+263+264+272+291+297+374) ÷ 11

= 2995/11

= 272.2727273

Variance = (sum of x²)/n - mean²

[(221²+248²+251²+255²+259²+263²+264²+272²+291²+297²+374²)/11] - (2740/11)²

= (831067/11) - (2995/11)²

= 1419.107438

sd² = variance

sd = sqrt(1419.107438)

sd = 37.67104243

Find the Maclaurin series for f(x) using the definition of a Maclaurin series. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do n

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

$f(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^{(n-1)}2^{n}\dfrac{x^n}{n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Maclaurin series of a function f(x) is the Taylor series of the function of the series around zero which is given by

$f(x)=f(0)+f^{\prime}(0)x+f^{\prime \prime}(0)\dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ ...+f^{(n)}(0)\dfrac{x^n}{n!}+...$

We first compute the n-th derivative of $f(x)=\ln(1+2x)$ , note that

$f^{\prime}(x)= 2 \cdot (1+2x)^{-1}\\f^{\prime \prime}(x)= 2^2\cdot (-1) \cdot (1+2x)^{-2}\\f^{\prime \prime}(x)= 2^3\cdot (-1)^2\cdot 2 \cdot (1+2x)^{-3}\\...\\\\f^{n}(x)= 2^n\cdot (-1)^{(n-1)}\cdot (n-1)! \cdot (1+2x)^{-n}\\$

Now, if we compute the n-th derivative at 0 we get

$f(0)=\ln(1+2\cdot 0)=\ln(1)=0\\\\f^{\prime}(0)=2 \cdot 1 =2\\\\f^{(2)}(0)=2^{2}\cdot(-1)\\\\f^{(3)}(0)=2^{3}\cdot (-1)^2\cdot 2\\\\...\\\\f^{(n)}(0)=2^n\cdot(-1)^{(n-1)}\cdot (n-1)!$

and so the Maclaurin series for f(x)=ln(1+2x) is given by

$f(x)=0+2x-2^2\dfrac{x^2}{2!}+2^3\cdot 2! \dfrac{x^3}{3!}+...+(-1)^{(n-1)}(n-1)!\cdot 2^n\dfrac{x^n}{n!}+...\\\\= 0 + 2x -2^2 \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+2^3\dfrac{x^3}{3!}+...+(-1)^{(n-1)}2^{n}\dfrac{x^n}{n}+...\\\\=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^{(n-1)}2^n\dfrac{x^n}{n}$

Classify the triangle. Select all that apply

dlinn [17]

One of the answers is equilateral because all of the sides are of equal length.
The other answer is acute because all of the angles are under 90º since they are all 60º. Hope this helps!
