Answer:

(a)L(x)=48x-64

(b)P_{2}(x)=48x-64+3(x-4)^{2}

(c)Using Linear Approximation,L(4.2)=137.6

Using Quadratic Approximation,P_{2}(4.2)=137.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: f(x) = 16x^{3/2},  a = 4

(a)Linear Approximation, L(x)=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)

f(4) = 16*4^{3/2}=128

f'(x) = 24\sqrt{x}

f'(4) = 24\sqrt{4}=24*2=48

L(x)=128+48(x-4)

L(x)=128+48x-192\\L(x)=48x-64

(b)Quadratic Approximation, P_{2}(x)=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)+\frac{1}{2}f''(a)(x-a)^{2}

f''(x)=12x^{-1/2}\\f''(4)=12*4^{-1/2}=6

P_{2}(x)=48x-64+3(x-4)^{2}

(c)To approximate:

L(x)=48x-64

L(4.2)=48(4.2)-64=137.6

Also, Using Quadratic Approximation

P_{2}(x)=48x-64+3(x-4)^{2}\\P_{2}(4.2)=48(4.2)-64+3(4.2-4)^{2}=137.72

A hair salon in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reports that on seven randomly selected weekdays, the number of customers who visited
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a: 28 < µ < 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the mean, var, and standard deviation for the data set.  See first attached photo for calculations for these...

We get a mean of 222/7 = 31.7143

and a sample standard deviation of: 4.3079

We can now construct our confidence interval.  See the second attached photo for the construction steps.

They want a 90% confidence interval.  Our sample size is 7, so since n < 30, we will use a t-score.  Look up the value under the 10% area in 2 tails column, and degree of freedom is 6 (degree of freedom is always 1 less than sample size for confidence intervals when n < 30)

The t-value is: 1.943

We rounded down to the nearest person in the interval because we don't want to over estimate.  It said 28.55, so more than 28 but not quite 29, so if we use 29 as the lower limit, we could over estimate.  It's better to use 28 and underestimate a little when considering customer flow.

-2

The graph of the equation is attached in the figure below

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to make the graph of the equation: |x|+1

Solving the equation:

|x|+1

Applying absolute rule: |u|<a, a>0 then -a<u<a

So,

-2

The graph of the equation is attached in the figure below.

List the sides of triangle WXY in order from smallest to largest.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Using the relation between angles and sides of any triangle the answer is:

Third option: WX, XY, YW

Step-by-step explanation:

<X=90° (right angle)

<W=51°

<Y=?

The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180°, then:

<W+<X+<Y=180°

Replacing the given values:

51°+90°+<Y=180°

141°+<Y=180°

Solving for <Y: Subtracting 141° both sides of the equation:

141°+<Y-141°=180°-141°

<Y=39°

The order of the angles from smallest to largest is:

<Y=39°, <W=51°, <X=90°

The opposite sides to these angles must be ordered in the same way:

Opposite side to <Y: WX

Opposite side to <W: XY

Opposite side to <X: YW

Then the order of the sides from smallest to largest is:

WX, XY, YW
