A. Write the equation of the line that represents the linear approximation to the following function at the given point a.

Mathematics

anastassius [24]3 years ago

Answer:

a) f(x) = 4 - x²

The linear approximation of the function at a=1 is

L(x) = 5 - 2x at a = 1

b) The graph of the function and the linear approximation at that point is attached to this solution.

The curve represent the real function,

f(x) = 4 - x²

The straight line represents the linear approximation of the function at a=1.

L(x) = 5 - 2x

The curve and the function evidently cross paths at x=1 and understandably so.

c) Using the linear approximation obtained at a = 1.

f(1.1) = 2.8

Using the actual function, the actual value of f(1.1) = 2.79

d) Percent error = 0.358%

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4 - x²

a) The linear approximation of the function at the given point is given as

L(x) = f(a) + f'(a) [x - a]

f(x) = 4 - x²

a = 1

f(a) = 4 - 1² = 3

f'(x) = -2x

f'(a) = -2(1) = -2

L(x) = f(a) + f'(a) [x - a]

L(x) = 3 + (-2)(x - 1)

L(x) = 3 -2x + 2

L(x) = 5 - 2x

L(x) = -2x + 5

f(x) = 4 - x²

L(x) = 5 - 2x at a = 1

b) The graph of the function and the linear approximation at that point is attached to this solution.

The curve represent the real function,

f(x) = 4 - x²

The straight line represents the linear approximation of the function at a=1.

L(x) = 5 - 2x

The curve and the function evidently cross paths at x=1 and understandably so.

c) Use the linear approx. to estimate the given fxn value.

f(1.1)

L(x) = 5 - 2x

L(1.1) = 5 - 2(1.1) = 2.8

Using the function, the actual value of f(1.1) = 4 - 1.1² = 2.79

d) Compute the percent error in your approximation, 100*Iapprox-exactI/IexactI, where the exact value is given by a calculator

Percent error

= 100% × (|approx - exact|)/exact

Approximated value = 2.8

Exact value = 2.79

Percent error = 100% × (2.8-2.79)/2.79

Percent error = 0.358%

Hope this Helps!!!

Help!!!!!! Please I have no idea what this is!!!
Semmy [17]

Answer:

33.49 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

V_{sphere}  =  \frac{4}{3}  \times  \pi {r}^{3}  \\  \\ V_{sphere}  =  \frac{4}{3}  \times  \pi {(2)}^{3}  \\  \\  V_{sphere}  =  \frac{4}{3}  \times  \pi  \times 8 \\  \\ V_{sphere}  =  \frac{32 \times 3.14}{3}  \\  \\ V_{sphere}  =  \frac{100.48}{3}  \\  \\ V_{sphere}  = 33.4933333\\  \\ V_{sphere}   \approx 33.49\: units^3

What is the molarity of a solution
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

0.670. M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity can be expressed like this:

molarity =  number of moles /volume (L)

We know the volume, which is  2.37 L , but we need to find the number of moles. We can do this by dividing  67.3 g  by the molar mass of  L i C l :

number of moles  = mass of sample /molar mass

number of moles  =  67.3 g /(6.94 + 35.45) g/mol  = 67.3 g /42.39 g/mol

number of moles = 1.59 mol

molarity = 1.59 mol /2.37 L =  0.670. M

A survey of a group of tourists was taken in St. Louis. The survey showed the​ following: of the tourists plan to visit Gateway​
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

14 people visited art museum.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Group of 115 tourists took in St. Louis.

61 tourists plan to visit the Gateway,

48 plan to visit the zoo,

11 plan to visit the Art Museum  but not the Gateway arch,

12 plan to visit the Art Museum, but not the zoo,

17 plan to visit the Gateway arch and zoo but not the art museum,

Seven plan to visit the art museum, the zoo and gateway arch,

Sixteen plan to visit none of three places.

How many plans to visit the art museum?

Let

Number of tourists plan to visit Art museum = x

People plan to visit none of three places = 16 = 115 – 16 = 99

People who visited gateway arch = 61 - 12 - 17 -7=  25

People who visited zoo = 48 – 11 – 17 – 7 = 13

People who visited art museum = 99 – 11 – 17- 7 – 25 – 13 = 14

14 people visited art museum.
