Find the Taylor series for f(x) centered at the given value of a. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do not show that

Rn(x) → 0.] f(x) = x4 − 7x2 + 2, a = 2

f(x) is a polynomial of degree 4, so its Taylor series will also be of degree 4. We have

f(2)=-10

f'(x)=4x^3-14x\implies f'(2)=4

f''(x)=12x^2-14\implies f''(2)=34

f'''(x)=24x\implies f'''(2)=48

f^{(4)}(x)=24\implies f^{(4)}(2)=24

and f^{(n)}(2)=0 for all n\ge5. So

f(x)=f(2)+f'(2)(x-2)+\dfrac{f''(2)}{2!}(x-2)^2+\dfrac{f'''(2)}{3!}(x-2)^3+\dfrac{f^{(4)}(2)}{4!}(x-2)^4

\boxed{f(x)=-10+4(x-2)+17(x-2)^2+8(x-2)^3+(x-2)^4}

(Notice that expanding all the binomials and simplifying gives the same f(x) you are given to begin with.)

Steve travelled from Ashton to Barnfield.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

67.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given That:

Time = 200 minutes = 3.5 hours

Distance = 235 miles

We Know That:

Speed = Distance / Time

SO, Speed = 235 divided by 3.5 = 67.1428571

Round this 3sf = 67.1

Hope this helps.

Joe the trainer has two solo workout plans that he offers his clients: Plan A and Plan
sasho [114]
Let workout Plan A last a hours, and Plan B last b hours.

we are assuming personal training for each client.

i)
"On Monday there were 2 clients who did Plan A and 3 who did Plan"

the total time spent is : 2*a + 3*b =2a+3b

ii)
"On Tuesday there were 4 clients who did Plan A and 8 who did Plan B"

the total time spent was 4*a+8*b=4a+8b

iii) "Joe trained his Monday clients for a total of 7 hours"

so 2a+3b = 7

iv)

"Joe trained his Tuesday clients for a total of 17 hours"

so 4a+8b=17

v) thus we have the following system of equations:

2a+3b = 7
4a+8b=17

multiply the first equation by -2, and then add both equations, to eliminate a:

-4a-6b=-14
4a+8b=17
-------------------
2b=3, so b=3/2

2a+3b = 7
2a+3(3/2)=7
2a+9/2=7
multiply by 2:
4a+9=14
4a=5
a=5/4

Answer :

Plan A lasts 5/4=1.25 h
Plan B lasts 3/2=1.5 h
