Answer:

(n/4 - 1) slices

Step-by-step explanation:

The pizza would be divided into n slices, which in turn would be split among 4 people:

       

   n slices

----------------- = (n/4) slices per person

  4 people          

Harris must have eaten (n/4 - 1) slices.

Answer:

\frac{n}{4}-1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a pizza that has n slices and we want to split it between 4 friends, then each friend will get \frac{n}{4} slices.

Now, Harris is one of those friends so he receives  \frac{n}{4}  slices, but he eats one less than he receives. Therefore, we subtract one from this expression to get our final answer of \frac{n}{4}-1.

Hope this helped!

How many nonzero terms of the Maclaurin series for ln(1 x) do you need to use to estimate ln(1.4) to within 0.001?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The estimate of In(1.4) is the first five non-zero terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We are to find the estimate of In(1 . 4) within 0.001 by applying the function of the Maclaurin series for f(x) = In (1 + x)

So, by the application of Maclurin Series which can be expressed as:

f(x) = f(0) + \dfrac{xf'(0)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2 f"(0)}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3f'(0)}{3!}+...  \ \ \  \ \ --- (1)

Let examine f(x) = In(1+x), then find its derivatives;

f(x) = In(1+x)          

f'(x) = \dfrac{1}{1+x}

f'(0)   = \dfrac{1}{1+0}=1

f ' ' (x)    = \dfrac{1}{(1+x)^2}

f ' ' (x)   = \dfrac{1}{(1+0)^2}=-1

f '  ' '(x)   = \dfrac{2}{(1+x)^3}

f '  ' '(x)    = \dfrac{2}{(1+0)^3} = 2

f ' '  ' '(x)    = \dfrac{6}{(1+x)^4}

f ' '  ' '(x)   = \dfrac{6}{(1+0)^4}=-6

f ' ' ' ' ' (x)    = \dfrac{24}{(1+x)^5} = 24

f ' ' ' ' ' (x)    = \dfrac{24}{(1+0)^5} = 24

Now, the next process is to substitute the above values back into equation (1)

f(x) = f(0) + \dfrac{xf'(0)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2f' \  '(0)}{2!}+\dfrac{x^3f \ '\ '\ '(0)}{3!}+\dfrac{x^4f '\ '\ ' \ ' \(0)}{4!}+\dfrac{x^5f' \ ' \ ' \ ' \ '0)}{5!}+ ...

In(1+x) = o + \dfrac{x(1)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2(-1)}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3(2)}{3!}+ \dfrac{x^4(-6)}{4!}+ \dfrac{x^5(24)}{5!}+ ...

In (1+x) = x - \dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}- \dfrac{x^6}{6}+...

To estimate the value of In(1.4), let's replace x with 0.4

In (1+x) = x - \dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}- \dfrac{x^6}{6}+...

In (1+0.4) = 0.4 - \dfrac{0.4^2}{2}+\dfrac{0.4^3}{3}-\dfrac{0.4^4}{4}+\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}- \dfrac{0.4^6}{6}+...

Therefore, from the above calculations, we will realize that the value of \dfrac{0.4^5}{5}= 0.002048 as well as \dfrac{0.4^6}{6}= 0.00068267 which are less than 0.001

Hence, the estimate of In(1.4) to the term is \dfrac{0.4^5}{5} is said to be enough to justify our claim.

∴

The estimate of In(1.4) is the first five non-zero terms.
