An employee at an organic food store is assembling gift baskets for a display. Using wicker baskets, the employee assembled 2 sm

all baskets and 4 large baskets, using a total of 60 pieces of fruit. Using wire baskets, the employee assembled 2 small baskets and 10 large baskets, using a total of 132 pieces of fruit. Assuming that each small basket includes the same amount of fruit, as does every large basket, how many pieces are in each?
The small baskets each include______pieces and the large ones each include_____pieces.

$Let \: x, y \: (x,y>0) \: be \: the \: number \: of \: fruits \: the \: small \: and \: large \: baskets \: hold \: respectively \\ We \: have \: a \: system \: of \: equations:2x + 4y = 60 \: \wedge \: 2x + 10y = 132 \\ \Leftrightarrow x = 6 \: \wedge \: y = 12 \\ \Rightarrow The \: small \: baskets \: each \: include \: 6 \: fruits \\ \Rightarrow The \: large \: baskets \: each \: include \: 12 \: fruits$

Find the linear approximation of the function g(x) = 3 1 + x at a = 0. g(x) ≈ Correct: Your answer is correct. Use it to approxi

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$3.296x+3$

2.835

3.330

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x) = 3^{1+x}$

Let the linear approximation be L(x) at a = 0. This is given by

$L(x) = g(a) + g'(a)(x-a)$

$g'(x)$ is the derivative of $g(x)$ . To find this, we use the form

If $f(x) = a^x$ , then $f'(x) =a^x\ln a$

By doing this and applying chain rule for the power (which is a function of x), we have

$g'(x) = 3^{1+x}\ln 3$

Then

$g'(0) = 3^{1+0}\ln 3 = 3.296$

Also $g(0) = 3^{1+0} = 3$

Hence $L(x) = 3+(x-0)\times3.296 = 3.296x + 3$

For $3^{0.95}$ , $1+x = 0.95$ and $x=-0.05$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{0.95} = 3.296(-0.05) + 3 = 2.835$

For $3^{1.1}$ , $1+x = 1.1$ and $x=0.1$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{1.1} = 3.296(0.1) + 3 = 3.330$
