Let x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6, x_7, x_8, x_9, x_{10}, x_{11} be the weight of i-th player.

1. If the mean weight of 4 backfield members on the football team is 221 lb, then

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4}{4}=221\ lb.

2. If the mean weight of the 7 other players is 202 lb, then

\dfrac{x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8+x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}}{7}=202\ lb.

3. From the previous statements you have that

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=221\cdot 4=884 \lb,\\ \\x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8+x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}=202\cdot 7=1414\ lb.

Add these two equalities and then divide by 11:

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8+x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}=884+1414=2298\ lb,\\ \\\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8+x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}}{11}=\dfrac{2298}{11}=208\dfrac{10}{11}\ lb.

Answer: the mean weight of the 11-person team is 208\dfrac{10}{11}\ lb.

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g ( x ) g(x) but we know that g ( 1 ) = − 1 g(1)=-1 and g ' ( x ) = √ x 2 + 15 g′(x)=x2
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

g(0.9) ≈ -2.6

g(1.1) ≈ 0.6

For 1.1 the estimation is a bit too high and for 0.9 it is too low.

Step-by-step explanation:

For values of x near 1 we can estimate g(x) with t(x) = g'(1) (x-1) + g(1). Note that g'(1) = 1²+15 = 16, and for values near one g'(x) is increasing because x² is increasing for positive values. This means that the tangent line t(x) will be above the graph of g, and the estimates we will make are a bit too big for values at the right of 1, like 1.1, and they will be too low for values at the left like 0.9.

For 0.9, we estimate

g(0.9) ≈ 16* (-0.1) -1 = -2.6

g(1.1) ≈ 16* 0.1 -1 = 0.6
