Answer:
1/2 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
1 x 1 = 1
1/2 = 1/2
Answer: The answer is 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
The Taylor series expansion is:
Tₙ(x) = ∑ f⁽ⁿ⁾(a) (x − a)ⁿ / n!
f(x) = 1/x, a = 4, and n = 3.
First, find the derivatives.
f⁽⁰⁾(4) = 1/4
f⁽¹⁾(4) = -1/(4)² = -1/16
f⁽²⁾(4) = 2/(4)³ = 1/32
f⁽³⁾(4) = -6/(4)⁴ = -3/128
Therefore:
T₃(x) = 1/4 (x − 4)⁰ / 0! − 1/16 (x − 4)¹ / 1! + 1/32 (x − 4)² / 2! − 3/128 (x − 4)³ / 3!
T₃(x) = 1/4 − 1/16 (x − 4) + 1/64 (x − 4)² − 1/256 (x − 4)³
f(x) = 1/x has a vertical asymptote at x=0 and a horizontal asymptote at y=0. So we can eliminate the top left option. That leaves the other three options, where f(x) is the blue line.
Now we have to determine which green line is T₃(x). The simplest way is to notice that f(x) and T₃(x) intersect at x=4 (which makes sense, since T₃(x) is the Taylor series centered at x=4).
The bottom right graph is the only correct option.
Now Steve, you can tap these into your calculator one by one,
get all the quotients, and mark the ones that are 4.2, all in about
3 minutes.
There are three (3) of them in the list.
One of them is 'C'. 27.3 ÷ 6.5 = 4.2
Now pick up your calculator and find the other two. You can do it !
