Answer: The numbers are 10 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x

And the larger number be y

Ist sentence;

1. The sum of two numbers is 33.

X + y= 33 .........eqn 1

2. second sentence

the larger number is 3 more than two times the smaller number.

Y = 3 +2x

Put y into eqn 1

X+ 3 +2x = 33

3x= 33- 3

3x= 30

X = 30/3

X= 10 and y= 3+ 2x

Y= 3+ 2(10)

Y = 3+ 20

Y= 23

Therefore the two numbers are 10 and 23

Answer:

0.0032

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compute $e^{0.4}$ by the help of third-degree Taylor polynomial that is expanded around at x = 0.

Given :

$e^{0.4}$ < e < 3

Therefore, the Taylor's Error Bound formula is given by :

$|\text{Error}| \leq \frac{M}{(N+1)!} |x-a|^{N+1}$ , where $M=|F^{N+1}(x)|$

$\leq \frac{3}{(3+1)!} |-0.4|^4$

$\leq \frac{3}{24} \times (0.4)^4$

$\leq 0.0032$

Therefore, |Error| ≤ 0.0032

Witold says that 50% of a number will always be greater than 20% of any other number. Complete one inequality to support Witold'

Lelu [443]

.50 x 2 < .20 x 100
1 < 20

50% of 2 is not greater than 20% of 100.

A(x, 1), B(5,3) and C(4,-3) are the vertices of triangle ABC. If AB=AC, find the value of x

Molodets [167]

$\\ \rm\longmapsto AB=AC$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto \sqrt{(x-5)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(1+3)^2}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2+(-2)^2=(x-4)^2+4^2$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2+4=(x-4)^2+16$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2-(x-4)^2=16-4=12$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2-10x+25-x^2+8x-16=12$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto -2x+9=12$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto -2x=12-9=3$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto x=\dfrac{3}{-2}=-1.5$
