Answer:
- g(2.95) ≈ -1.8; g(3.05) ≈ -0.2
- A) tangents are increasing in slope, so the tangent is below the curve, and estimates are too small.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The linear approximation of g(x) at x=b will be ...
g(x) ≈ g'(b)(x -b) +g(b)
Using the given relations, this is ...
g'(3) = 3² +7 = 16
g(x) ≈ 16(x -3) -1
Then the points of interest are ...
g(2.95) ≈ 16(2.95 -3) -1 = -1.8
g(3.05) ≈ 16(3.05 -3) -1 = -0.2
__
(b) At x=3, the slope of the curve is increasing, so the tangent lies below the curve. The estimates are too small. (Matches description A.)
Answer:
Read the sentence below, which appears in the brochure “Nanotechnology: Big Things from a Tiny World.” As you read, look for context clues that could help you define any scientific terms.
Scientists have also developed sensors to measure pesticide levels in the field, allowing farmers to use less while still protecting their plants.
According to the context clues provided by the author, what is a pesticide?

Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
The confidence level is, 91%.
Compute the value of α as follows:
(2)
As the population standard deviation is provided, i.e. <em>σ</em> = 256 psi, the <em>z</em> value would be appropriate.
The <em>z</em> value for α = 0.09 is,
<em>z</em> = 1.69
(3)
Compute the 91% confidence interval as follows:
(4)
The 91% confidence interval for population mean implies that there is a 0.91 probability that the true value of the mean is included in the interval, (2942.29, 3057.71) psi.
