In a volcano, erupting lava flows continuously through a tube system about 20 kilometers to the sea. Assume a lava flow of 0.5 k

butalik [34]

Answer:

40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take "x" as the # of hours it takes the lava to reach the sea

since there is a lava flow of 0.5 kilos per hour

we will multiply "x" with 0.5

0.5x

now the tube system is 20 kilometers long

this means that at a rate of 0.5 kilos per hour the lava will reach the sea once it is 20 kilometers deep

so

0.5x=20

divide "0.5" by both sides to eliminate the coefficient

$\frac{0.5x}{0.5} =\frac{20}{0.5}$

x=40

it will take 40 hours for the lava to reach the sea

Hope this helps!

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 $L(x)$ ,

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