Answer:

  AE = 15 cm; ED = 18 cm; AD = 15 cm (given)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔBEC ~ ΔAED so ...

   AD/BC = AE/BE = (BE+AB)/BE = 1 + AB/BE

Substituting given numbers (lengths in centimeters), we have ...

  15/10 = 1 + 5/BE

  1/2 = 5/BE

  BE = 10

Similarly, ...

  1/2 = 6/CE

  CE = 12

Then the unknown sides are ...

  AE = AB + BE = 5 + 10 = 15 . . . cm

  ED = CE + CD = 12 + 6 = 18 . . . cm

If the local linear approximation of f(x) = 2cos x + e^2x at x = 2 is used to find the approximation for f(2.1), then the % erro
yKpoI14uk [10]

<u>Answer-</u>

The % error of this approximation is 1.64%

<u>Solution-</u>

Here,

\Rightarrow f(x) = 2\cos x + e^{2x}

\Rightarrow f'(x) = -2\sin x + 2e^{2x}

And,

\Rightarrow f(2) = 2\cos 2 + e^{4}

\Rightarrow f'(2) = -2\sin 2 + 2e^{4}

Taking (2, f(2)) as a point and slope as, f'(2), the function would be,

\Rightarrow y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

\Rightarrow y-(2\cos 2 + e^{4})=(-2\sin 2 + 2e^{4})(x-2)

\Rightarrow y=(-2\sin 2 + 2e^{4})(x-2)+(2\cos 2 + e^{4})

The value of f(2.1) will be

\Rightarrow y=(-2\sin 2 + 2e^{4})(2.1-2)+(2\cos 2 + e^{4})

\Rightarrow y=(-2\sin 2 + 2e^{4})(0.1)+(2\cos 2 + e^{4})

\Rightarrow y=64.5946

According to given function, f(2.1) will be,

\Rightarrow f(2.1) = 2\cos 2.1 + e^{2(2.1)}

\Rightarrow f(2.1) = 65.6766

\therefore \%\ error=\dfrac{65.6766-64.5946}{65.6766}=0.0164=1.64\%
