Answer:

1.45

Step-by-step explanation: The question is asking "what was his average speed per miles per hour" and it says "26.1 miles in 3hrs and 18mins". So it wants to know the speed per hour.

Your gonna take 26.1 and divide it by the 18mins, which will give you 1.45

Ipatiy [6.2K]

It depends on what happens to the price of the item during the sale which is not stated in your problem. So if it cost 6 dollars and goes on sale it should be 6 dollars.

1. Approximate the given quantity using a Taylor polynomial with n3.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

See the explanation for the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

$f(x) = x^{1/4}$

The n-th order Taylor polynomial for function f with its center at a is:

$p_{n}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(n)}a}{n!} (x-a)^{n}$

As n = 3 So,

$p_{3}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(3)}a}{3!} (x-a)^{3}$

$p_{3}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(3)}a}{6} (x-a)^{3}$

$p_{3}(x) = a^{1/4} + \frac{1}{4a^{ 3/4} } (x-a)+ (\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{3}{16a^{7/4} } ) (x-a)^{2} + (\frac{1}{6})(\frac{21}{64a^{11/4} } ) (x-a)^{3}$

$p_{3}(x) = 81^{1/4} + \frac{1}{4(81)^{ 3/4} } (x-81)+ (\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{3}{16(81)^{7/4} } ) (x-81)^{2} + (\frac{1}{6})(\frac{21}{64(81)^{11/4} } ) (x-81)^{3}$

$p_{3} (x)$ = 3 + 0.0092592593 (x - 81) + 1/2 ( - 0.000085733882) (x - 81)² + 1/6

(0.0000018522752) (x-81)³

$p_{3} (x)$ = 0.0092592593 x - 0.000042866941 (x - 81)² + 0.00000030871254

(x-81)³ + 2.25

Hence approximation at given quantity i.e.

x = 94

Putting x = 94

$p_{3} (94)$ = 0.0092592593 (94) - 0.000042866941 (94 - 81)² +

0.00000030871254 (94-81)³ + 2.25

= 0.87037 03742 - 0.000042866941 (13)² + 0.00000030871254(13)³ +

2.25

= 0.87037 03742 - 0.000042866941 (169) +

0.00000030871254(2197) + 2.25

= 0.87037 03742 - 0.007244513029 + 0.0006782414503 + 2.25

$p_{3} (94)$ = 3.113804102621

Compute the absolute error in the approximation assuming the exact value is given by a calculator.

Compute $\sqrt[4]{94}$ as $94^{1/4}$ using calculator

Exact value:

$E_{a}$ (94) = 3.113737258478

Compute absolute error:

Err = | 3.113804102621 - 3.113737258478 |

Err (94) = 0.000066844143

If you round off the values then you get error as:

|3.11380 - 3.113737| = 0.000063

Err (94) = 0.000063

If you round off the values up to 4 decimal places then you get error as:

|3.1138 - 3.1137| = 0.0001

Err (94) = 0.0001
