Answer:

a. p1(x) = 2 - x

b. p2(x) = x² - 3*x + 3

c. p1(0.97) = 1.03; p2(0.97) = 1.0309

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1/x

f'(x) =  -1/x²

f''(x) = 2/x³

a = 1

a. The linear approximating polynomial is:

p1(x) = f(a) + f'(a)*(x - a)

p1(x) = 1/1 + -1/1² * (x - 1)

p1(x) = 1 - x + 1

p1(x) = 2 - x

b. The quadratic approximating polynomial is:

p2(x) = p1(x) + 1/2 * f''(a)*(x - a)²

p2(x) = 2 - x + 1/2 * 2/1³ * (x - 1)²

p2(x) = 2 - x + (x - 1)²

p2(x) = 2 - x + x² - 2*x + 1

p2(x) = x² - 3*x + 3

c. approximate 1/0.97 using p1(x)

p1(0.97) = 2 - 0.97 = 1.03

approximate 1/0.97 using p2(x)

p2(0.97) = 0.97² - 3*0.97 + 3 = 1.0309

Which equation is shown in the graph?<br><br> Best answer gets brainliest!
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

C) y=x^2+x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the first picture, the equation is way too high, thus A is incorrect

Looking at the second picture, the equation is also too high, thus B is incorrect

Looking at the third picture, the equation is at the graph, thus C is correct

Looking at the fourth picture, the equation is more at the right than at the left thus the equation is incorrect

Hope this helps!

College Calculus - hyperbolic functions (see attachment)
morpeh [17]

Answer:

g(x) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7x^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( x^( 3+x))))

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the fundamental theorem of calculus

Taking the derivative of the integral gives back the function

Since the lower limit is a constant when we take the derivative it is zero

d/dx \int\limits^x_4 {g(t)} \, dt  = g(x)

g(t) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7t^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( t^( 3+t))))

Replacing t with x

g(x) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7x^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( x^( 3+x))))
