Answer:

The common difference is $11$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between consecutive terms is a constant called the common difference

In this problem we have

$-15,-4,7,18,29,...$

Let

$a1=-15\ a2=-4\ a3=7\ a4=18\ a5=29$

Find the difference between consecutive terms

$a5-a4=29-18=11$

$a4-a3=18-7=11$

$a3-a2=7-(-4)=11$

$a2-a1=-4-(-15)=11$

therefore

The sequence is an Arithmetic Sequence

The common difference is $11$

use Taylor's Theorem with integral remainder and the mean-value theorem for integrals to deduce Taylor's Theorem with lagrange r

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

As consequence of the Taylor theorem with integral remainder we have that

$f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a) + \frac{f''(a)}{2!}(x-a)^2 + \cdots + \frac{f^{(n)}(a)}{n!}(x-a)^n + \int^a_x f^{(n+1)}(t)\frac{(x-t)^n}{n!}dt$

If we ask that $f$ has continuous $(n+1)$ th derivative we can apply the mean value theorem for integrals. Then, there exists $c$ between $a$ and $x$ such that

$\int^a_x f^{(n+1)}(t)\frac{(x-t)^k}{n!}dt = \frac{f^{(n+1)}(c)}{n!} \int^a_x (x-t)^n d t = \frac{f^{(n+1)}(c)}{n!} \frac{(x-t)^{n+1}}{n+1}\Big|_a^x$

Hence,

$\int^a_x f^{(n+1)}(t)\frac{(x-t)^k}{n!}d t = \frac{f^{(n+1)}(c)}{n!} \frac{(x-t)^{(n+1)}}{n+1} = \frac{f^{(n+1)}(c)}{(n+1)!}(x-a)^{n+1} .$

Thus,

$\int^a_x f^{(n+1)}(t)\frac{(x-t)^k}{n!}d t = \frac{f^{(n+1)}(c)}{(n+1)!}(x-a)^{n+1}$

and the Taylor theorem with Lagrange remainder is

$f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a) + \frac{f''(a)}{2!}(x-a)^2 + \cdots + \frac{f^{(n)}(a)}{n!}(x-a)^n + \frac{f^{(n+1)}(c)}{(n+1)!}(x-a)^{n+1}$ .

Find the surface area of each figure.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

For a cylinder of radius R and height H, the surface area is given by:

A = 4*pi*R^2 + H*(2*pi*R)

Where pi = 3.14

We can just use that formula for each one of the given cylinders.

1) We can see that the diameter is 10 yd, and the radius is half of the diameter, then the radius is:

R = 10yd/2 = 5yd

And the height is 3yd, then H = 3yd

Replacing these in the area equation, we get:

A = 4*3.14*(5 yd)^2 + 3yd*(2*3.14*5yd) = 408.2 yd^2

2) Here we can see that the diameter is 24 cm, then the radius is:

R = 24cm/2 = 12cm

And the height is H = 10cm

Then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(12 cm)^2 + 10cm*(2*3.14*12cm) = 2,562.24 cm^2

3) In this case we have a radius equal to 12 cm, and a height equal to 7 cm, then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(12 cm)^2 + 7cm*(2*3.14*12cm) = 2,336.16cm^2

4) Here is hard to see the measures, I think that here we have:

diameter = 8m

Then R = 8m/2 = 4m

And the height is also 8m, H = 8m

Then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(4 m)^2 + 8 m*(2*3.14*4m) =401.92 m^2
