We have already seen how to approximate a function using its tangent line. This was the key idea in Euler’s
method. If we know the function value at some point (say f (a)) and the value of the derivative at the same
point (f
(a)) we can use these to find the tangent line, and then use the tangent line to approximate f (x)
for other points x. Of course, this approximation will only be good when x is relatively near a. The tangent
line approximation of f (x) for x near a is called the first degree Taylor Polynomial of f (x) and is:
f (x) ≈ f (a) + f
(a)(x − a)
First we put the numbers in order....very important
67,76,76,(82),84,87,93
the median is the middle number....so it is 82
Answer:
159.1
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression would be 10.4+13+8+112+15.7, which equals 159.1 which is the total weight.
Suppose x-6 is listed as a possible answer. That is zero if x = 6. So put x=6 into the original x^2 + 4x - 60 to get 6^2 + 4*6 - 60 = 36 + 24 -60 = 0. hence x-6 is a factor.
Answer (x-6)
on this hand :x-5 is not a factor, because plugging x=5 into does not work.
