Answer:

0.012

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear approximation says that,

f(x) \approx f(x_o)+f'(x_o)(x-x_o)

For a cube the surface area is 6x^2.

So the side is 1.0 inch in, the surface area is =6\times1^2 = 6 square inches.  

In Linear approximation means you ignore the term x_o^2 , if x_o is a small number, because then x_o^2 will be a very smalle number and that does not contribute much to the error.  

So the surface area is approximately,

6x^2=6x_o^2+12x_o(x-x_o)

So here, x=1.001, x_o=0.001

The error in the area is approximately,

12 \times 0.001=0.012

So the error is 0.012.

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. Find the remainder
victus00 [196]

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(h⁴ + h² – 2) ÷ (h + 3).

We could obtain the remainder using the remainder theorem :

That is the remainder obtained when (h⁴ + h² – 2) is divided by (h + 3).

Using the reminder theorem,

Equate h+3 to 0 and obtain the value of h at h+3 = 0

h + 3 = 0 ; h = - 3

Substituting h = - 3 into (h⁴ + h² – 2) to obtain the remainder

h⁴ + h² – 2 = (-3)⁴ + (-3)² - 2 = 81 + 9 - 2 = 88

Hence, remainder is 88
