Answer:

A) (-17+5k,17-4k)

B)  (-4+3k,4-2k)

C) No integer pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, I'm going to use Euclidean's Algorithm.

4x+5y=17

5=4(1)+1

4=1(4)

So going backwards through those equations:

5-4(1)=1

-4(1)+5(1)=1

Multiply both sides by 17:

4(-17)+5(17)=17

So one integer pair satisfying 4x+5y=17 is (-17,17).

What is the slope for this equation?

Let's put it in slope-intercept form:

4x+5y=17

Subtract 4x on both sides:

     5y=-4x+17

Divide both sides by 5:

      y=(-4/5)x+(17/5)

The slope is down 4 and right 5.

So let's show more solutions other than (-17,17) by using the slope.

All integer pairs satisfying this equation is (-17+5k,17-4k).

Let's check:

4(-17+5k)+5(17-4k)

-68+20k+85-20k

-68+85

17

That was exactly what we wanted since we were looking for integer pairs that satisfy 4x+5y=17.

Onward to the next problem.

6x+9y=12

9=6(1)+3

6=3(2)

Now backwards through the equations:

9-6(1)=3

9(1)-6(1)=3

Multiply both sides by 4:

9(4)-6(4)=12

-6(4)+9(4)=12

6(-4)+9(4)=12

So one integer pair satisfying 6x+9y=12 is (-4,4).

Let's find the slope of 6x+9y=12.

6x+9y=12

Subtract 6x on both sides:

      9y=-6x+12

Divide both sides by 9:

       y=(-6/9)x+(12/9)

Reduce:

       y=(-2/3)x+(4/3)

The slope is down 2 right 3.

So all the integer pairs are (-4+3k,4-2k).

Let's check:

6(-4+3k)+9(4-2k)

-24+18k+36-18k

-24+36

12

That checks out since we wanted integer pairs that made 6x+9y=12.

Onward to the last problem.

4x+10y=9

10=4(2)+2

4=2(2)

So the gcd(4,10)=2 which means this one doesn't have any solutions because there is no integer k such that 2k=9.

Find the linear approximation of the function g(x) = 3 root 1 + x at a = 0. g(x). Use it to approximate the numbers 3 root 0.95
Virty [35]

Answer:

L(x)=1+\dfrac{1}{3}x

\sqrt[3]{0.95} \approx 0.9833

\sqrt[3]{1.1} \approx 1.0333

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function: g(x)=\sqrt[3]{1+x}

We are to determine the linear approximation of the function g(x) at a = 0.

Linear Approximating Polynomial,L(x)=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)

a=0

g(0)=\sqrt[3]{1+0}=1

g'(x)=\frac{1}{3}(1+x)^{-2/3} \\g'(0)=\frac{1}{3}(1+0)^{-2/3}=\frac{1}{3}

Therefore:

L(x)=1+\frac{1}{3}(x-0)\\\\$The linear approximating polynomial of g(x) is:$\\\\L(x)=1+\dfrac{1}{3}x

(b)\sqrt[3]{0.95}= \sqrt[3]{1-0.05}

When x = - 0.05

L(-0.05)=1+\dfrac{1}{3}(-0.05)=0.9833

\sqrt[3]{0.95} \approx 0.9833

(c)

(b)\sqrt[3]{1.1}= \sqrt[3]{1+0.1}

When x = 0.1

L(1.1)=1+\dfrac{1}{3}(0.1)=1.0333

\sqrt[3]{1.1} \approx 1.0333
