The sum of a whole number and twice its square is 21. Find the whole number

1 answer:

6 0

SOLUTION:

Let whole number = x

x + 2x^2 = 21

2x^2 + x - 21 = 0

2x^2 + 7x - 6x - 21 = 0

x ( 2x + 7 ) - 3 ( 2x + 7 ) = 0

( 2x + 7 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0

2x + 7 = 0

2x = - 7

x = - 7 / 2

OR

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

ANSWER:

Therefore, as 3 is a whole number while - 7 / 2 isn't a whole number, the whole number must be 3.

Hope this helps! :)

What would the graph look like for ^

Jet001 [13]

Answer: The correct option is the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define how to interpret each symbol:

x < a (x is strictly smaller than a, we graph this with an open circle at a, and an arrow to the left of a)

x > a (x is strictly larger than a, we graph this with an open circle at a, and an arrow to the right of a)

x ≥ a (x is larger than or equal to a, we graph this with a closed circle at a, and an arrow to the right of a)

x ≤ a (x is smaller than or equal to a, we graph this with a closed circle at a, and an arrow to the left of a)

In this case, we have the inequality:

x ≤ 15

Then to graph this we need a closed circle at 15, and an arrow to the left. The correct option is the first one.

Write the Taylor Series for f(x) = sin(x)center

tangare [24]

Answer:

Taylor series of sin(x) centered at x = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taylor series expansion:

$\sum_{n=0}^N f^n(a)\displaystyle\frac{(x-a)^n}{n!}$

Here, f(x) = sin (x) and a = 0

$f(x) = \sin x, f(0) = 0\\f'(x) = \cos x, f'(0) = 1\\f''(x) = -\sin x, f''(0) = 0\\f'''(x) = -\cos x, f'''(0) = -1\\f^4(x) = \sin x, f^4(0) = 0\\f^5(x) = \cos x, f^5(0) = 0$

Putting all the values and expanding, we get,

$f(x) = f(a) + \displaystyle\frac{f'(a)(x-a)}{1!} + \displaystyle\frac{f''(a)(x-a)^2}{2!} + \displaystyle\frac{f'''(a)(x-a)^3}{3!} + \displaystyle\frac{f^4(a)(x-a)^4}{4!} + \displaystyle\frac{f^5(a)(x-a)^5}{5!} + ...\\\\= \sin 0 + \displaystyle\frac{x}{1!} + \displaystyle\frac{(0)x^2}{2!} + \displaystyle\frac{(-1)x^3}{3!} + \displaystyle\frac{(0)x^4}{4!} + \displaystyle\frac{(1)x^5}{5!} + ...$

Solving, we get

$\sin x = x - \displaystyle\frac{x^3}{3!} + \displaystyle\frac{x^5}{5!} - \displaystyle\frac{x^7}{7!} + ...\\\\\sin x = x - \displaystyle\frac{x^3}{6} + \displaystyle\frac{x^5}{120} - \displaystyle\frac{x^7}{5040} + ...$
