You want to fence in a rectangular vegetable patch. The fencing for the east and west sides costs $4 per foot, and the fencing f

tangare [24]

Answer:

East and west side= 5 foot

South and north side = 10 foot

Area = 50 foot^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

East and west fencing cost= $4 per foot

South and north fencing cost $2 per foot

So, we can consider:

x= south and north fencing

y= east and west fencing

Then we create an equation representing the case:

Total cost = (south+north)*$2 + (east+west)*$4

80 =(x+x)*2 + (y+y)*4

80 =(2x)*2 + (2y)*4

80 =4x + 8y

80 =4*(x+2y)

80/4 =x+2y

20 = x+2y

x= 20-2y

We can calculate the area as width * length:

Area = length * width

Area= x * y

Area= (20 - 2y) * y

area= 20y - 2y^2

Next step is to find the "y" value for the maximum area so you can derivate and equal to 0 to find maximums:

d(20y - 2y^2)/dy = 20 - 2*2y = 20 - 4y

20 - 4y = 0

20 = 4y

y = 20/4

y = 5

If y = 5, then:

x = 20 - 2y

x = 20 - 2*5

x = 20 - 10

x = 10

Taylor Series Questions!

5.
$f(x)=\sin x\implies f(\pi)=0$
$f'(x)=\cos x\implies f'(\pi)=-1$
$f''(x)=-\sin x\implies f''(\pi)=0$
$f'''(x)=-\cos x\implies f'''(\pi)=1$

Clearly, each even-order derivative will vanish, and the terms that remain will alternate in sign, so the Taylor series is given by

$f(x)=-(x-\pi)+\dfrac{(x-\pi)^3}{3!}-\dfrac{(x-\pi)^5}{5!}+\cdots$
$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}\frac{(-1)^{n-1}(x-\pi)^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}$

Your answer is off by a sign - the source of this error is the fact that you used the series expansion centered at $x=0$ , not $x=\pi$ , and so the sign on each derivative at $x=\pi$ is opposite of what it should be. I'm sure you can figure out the radius of convergence from here.

6. Note that this is already a polynomial, so the Taylor series will strongly resemble this and will consist of a finite number of terms. You can get the series by evaluating the derivatives at the given point, or you can simply rewrite the polynomial in $x$ as a polynomial in $x-2$ .

$f(x)=x^6-x^4+2\implies f(2)=50$
$f'(x)=6x^5-4x^3\implies f'(2)=160$
$f''(x)=30x^4-12x^2\implies f''(2)=432$
$f'''(x)=120x^3-24x\implies f'''(2)=912$
$f^{(4)}(x)=360x^2-24\implies f^{(4)}(2)=1416$
$f^{(5)}(x)=720x\implies f^{(5)}(2)=1440$
$f^{(6)}(x)=720\implies f^{(6)}(2)=720$
$f^{(n\ge7)}(x)=0\implies f^{(n\ge7)}(2)=0$

$\implies f(x)=50+160(x-2)+216(x-2)^2+152(x-2)^3+59(x-2)^4+12(x-2)^5+(x-2)^6$

If you expand this, you will end up with $f(x)$ again, so the Taylor series must converge everywhere.

I'll outline the second method. The idea is to find coefficients so that the right hand side below matches the original polynomial:

$x^6-x^4+2=(x-2)^6+a_5(x-2)^5+a_4(x-2)^4+a_3(x-2)^3+a_2(x-2)^2+a_1(x-2)+a_0$

You would expand the right side, match up the coefficients for the same-power terms on the left, then solve the linear system that comes out of that. You would end up with the same result as with the standard derivative method, though perhaps more work than necessary.

7. It would help to write the square root as a rational power first:

$f(x)=\sqrt x=x^{1/2}\implies f(4)=2$
$f'(x)=\dfrac{(-1)^0}{2^1}x^{-1/2}\implies f'(4)=\dfrac1{2^2}$
$f''(x)=\dfrac{(-1)^1}{2^2}x^{-3/2}\implies f''(4)=-\dfrac1{2^5}$
$f'''(x)=\dfrac{(-1)^2(1\times3)}{2^3}x^{-5/2}\implies f'''(4)=\dfrac3{2^8}$
$f^{(4)}(x)=\dfrac{(-1)^3(1\times3\times5)}{2^4}x^{-7/2}\implies f^{(4)}(4)=-\dfrac{15}{2^{11}}$
$f^{(5)}(x)=\dfrac{(-1)^4(1\times3\times5\times7)}{2^5}x^{-9/2}\implies f^{(5)}(4)=\dfrac{105}{2^{14}}$

The pattern should be fairly easy to see.

$f(x)=2+\dfrac{x-4}{2^2}-\dfrac{(x-4)^2}{2^5\times2!}+\dfrac{3(x-4)^3}{2^8\times3!}-\dfrac{15(x-4)^4}{2^{11}\times4!}+\cdots$
$f(x)=2+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\dfrac{(-1)^n(-1\times1\times3\times5\times\cdots\times(2n-3)}{2^{3n-1}n!}(x-4)^n$

By the ratio test, the series converges if

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\dfrac{(-1)^{n+1}(-1\times\cdots\times(2n-3)\times(2n-1))(x-4)^{n+1}}{2^{3n+2}(n+1)!}}{\dfrac{(-1)^n(-1\times\cdots\tiems(2n-3))(x-4)^n}{2^{3n-1}n!}}\right|$
$\implies\displaystyle\frac{|x-4|}8\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{2n-1}{n+1}=\frac{|x-4|}4$
$\implies |x-4|$

so that the ROC is 4.

10. Without going into much detail, you should have as your Taylor polynomial

$\sin x\approx T_4(x)=\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\left(x-\dfrac\pi6\right)-\dfrac14\left(x-\dfrac\pi6\right)^2-\dfrac1{4\sqrt3}\left(x-\dfrac\pi6\right)^3+\dfrac1{48}\left(x-\dfrac\pi6\right)^4$

Taylor's inequality then asserts that the error of approximation on the interval $0\le x\le\dfrac\pi3$ is given by

$|\sin x-T_4(x)|=|R_4(x)|\le\dfrac{M\left|x-\frac\pi6\right|^5}{5!}$

where $M$ satisfies $|f^{(5)}(x)|\le M$ on the interval.

We know that $(\sin x)^{(5)}=\cos x$ is bounded between -1 and 1, so we know $M=1$ will suffice. Over the given interval, we have $\left|x-\dfrac\pi6\right|\le\dfrac\pi6$ , so the remainder will be bounded above by

$|R_4(x)|\le\dfrac{1\times\left(\frac\pi6\right)^5}{5!}=\dfrac{\pi^5}{933120}\approx0.000328$

which is to say, over the interval $0\le x\le\dfrac\pi3$ , the fourth degree Taylor polynomial approximates the value of $\sin x$ near $x=\dfrac\pi6$ to within 0.000328.
