Step-by-step explanation:
(a) P = (0.3)(0.2) + (0.5)(0.6) + (0.2)(0.8)
P = 0.52
(b) (0.5)(0.6) = 0.3
P = 0.3 / 0.52
P = 0.58
I'm not for sure but it could be 24/529 ???????????
If there are answer choices then put this one. Otherwise I really don't know
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.)
