add 12 with 16 by 20 it gives you 48 cubic inches
12 +16+20=48 cubic inches
Answer:
Here we just want to find the Taylor series for f(x) = ln(x), centered at the value of a (which we do not know).
Remember that the general Taylor expansion is:

for our function we have:
f'(x) = 1/x
f''(x) = -1/x^2
f'''(x) = (1/2)*(1/x^3)
this is enough, now just let's write the series:

This is the Taylor series to 3rd degree, you just need to change the value of a for the required value.
3/11 is the simplified version of this fraction
Answer:
It was difficult reading the question, as written. Check my assumptions.
Step-by-step explanation:
"five more than the product of two and a number,
decreased by seven"
---
Let the "number" be a.
We are told "five more than . ." means +5,
"the product of two and a number" means 2a,
"decreased by seven" mean -7
Put the statements together to obtain:
+5+2a-7
Simplify to 2a-2
Evaluate when a = 8:
2a-2
2(8)-2
16-2
= 14
