Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

f(3) = 2

f'(3) = 5.

We want to estimate f(2.85)

The linear approximation of "f" at "a" is one way of writing the equation of the tangent line at "a".

At x = a, y = f(a) and the slope of the tangent line is f'(a).

So, in point slope form, the tangent line has equation

y − f(a) = f'(a)(x − a)

The linearization solves for y by adding f(a) to both sides

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x − a).

Given that,

f(3) = 2,

f'(3) = 5

a = 3, we want to find f(2.85)

x = 2.85

Therefore,

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x − a)

f(2.85) = 2 + 5(2.85 - 3)

f(2.85) = 2 + 5×-0.15

f(2.85) = 2 - 0.75

f(2.85) = 1.25

Shera is building a cabinet she is making wooden braces for the corners of the cabinet. What is the surface area
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "28 in^2." 

We have to get the individual area of each surface.
A1 = 1*3*2 = 6
A2 = 1*3*2 = 6
A3 = 1*2*2 = 4
A4 = 2*3*2 = 12
Area = A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 
Area = 6 + 6 + 4 + 12
Area = 28 in^2

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

sales price x sales tax rate = sales tax

156.50 x sales tax rate = 10.17

sales tax rate = 10.17/156.50

sales tax rate = .065 or 6.5%
