Answer:

  • A relationship modeled by the function f(x) = 4x³ - 72x² + 320x is the volume of a right prism whose dimensions are 4 times a desired length, 10 units less that such desired length, and 8 units less than the same desired length.

Explanation:

To find a relationship modeled by the given function it is recommendable to factor it.

The function is:

  • f(x)=4x^3-72x^2+320x

The first step to factor it is to extract common factor 4x:

  • f(x)=4x(x^2-18x+80)

The second step is to factor the quadratic trinomial.

That is made by writting it as a product of two binomials, for which the two constant terms add up - 18 and their product is 80. Those terms are -10 and - 8; so the two factors are (x - 10) and (x - 8), and the factored form is:

  • f(x)=(4x)(x-10)(x-8)

Then, a relationship modeled by that polynomial is the volume of right prism whose dimensions are 4 times a desired length, 10 units less that such desired length, and 8 units less than the same desired length.

  • x is the desired (unknown) length
  • 4x is 4 times the desired length
  • x - 10 is 10 less than the desired length
  • x - 8 is 8 less than the desired length

Thus, the volume of the prism is the product of the three factors:

  • Volume = (4x)(x-10)(x-8)

(a) Use a linear approximation to estimate f(0.9) and f(1.1). f(0.9) ≈ f(1.1) ≈ (b) Are your estimates in part (a) too large or
olasank [31]

Answer:

(Missing part of the question is attached)

L(x)=2x+3

Estimates are too large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the only information we know about the function is:

f(1)=5

where the graph of its derivative is shown in the attachment

<h3>(a)</h3>

If the function f\\ is differentiable at point x=1 , the tangent line to the graph of f at 1 is given by the equation:

y=f(1) +f'(1)(x-1)

So we call the linear function:

L(x)=f(1) +f'(1)(x-1)

We know the f(1)=5 as it is given in the question, and f'(1)=2 from the graph attached. Substitute in the equation of L(x).

L(x)=5+2(x-1)\\L(x)=5+2x-2\\L(x)=2x+3\\

<h3>(b)</h3>

At x=1,  f'(x) is positive but it is decreasing. However. if we draw the tangent lines, we see that the tangent lines are becoming less steeper, so the tangent lines lie above the curve f. Thus, The estimates are too large.

Answer:

2) 7x-6=2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

It equals 8/9, and the equation, (5x + 2(x-3) = -2(x - 1)) equals 8/9 as well.
