Answer:

The equation for the following graph:

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

- You first need to find the slope by using the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

(where $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is the first point and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ is the second point)

-Use the given points $(0,0)$ and $(10, -2)$ from the graph for the formula:

$m = \frac{-2 - 0}{10 - 0}$

Then, you solve:

$m = \frac{-2 - 0}{10 - 0}$

$m = -\frac{1}{5}$

After you have found the slope, use the slope $-\frac{1}{5}$ and the first point $(0,0)$ for the point-slope formula:

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1})$

(where $m$ is the slope and $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ is the first point)

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5} ( x - 0)$

Then, you solve:

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5} ( x - 0)$

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5}x - 0$

$y - 0 + 0 = -\frac{1}{5} - 0 + 0$

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x$

So, the equation for the following graph is $y = -\frac{1}{5}x$ .

If f (n)(0) = (n + 1)! for n = 0, 1, 2, , find the taylor series at a=0 for f.

Pie

Given that $f^{(n)}(0)=(n+1)!$ , we have for $f(x)$ the Taylor series expansion about 0 as

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(n+1)!}{n!}x^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)x^n$

Replace $n+1$ with $n$ , so that the series is equivalent to

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

and notice that

$\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n=\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

Recall that for $|x|$ , we have

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n=\frac1{1-x}$

which means

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}=\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\frac1{1-x}$
$\implies f(x)=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}$

If she saves 1$ the first week 3$ the season week 9$ the third week how much will she save in 5 weeks

ycow [4]

Based on the numbers we have we can assume that she saves 3 times more each week than the last (1*3=3, 3*3=9).

Following this trend we would multiply the amount she saved the third week ($9) by 3 to get $27 for the fourth week.

Then, we would multiply the amount she saved the fourth week ($27) by 3 to get $81 for the fifth week.

Finally, to figure out how much she saved in the 5 weeks, we need to add each value up to get 1+3+9+27+81= $121 saved in 5 weeks

Calculate the average rate of change of f(x) = 1 x - x2 - 2 for 3 ≤ x ≤ 6. A) -163 18 B) -18 163 C) 163 18 D) 18 163

larisa86 [58]

To solve this we are going to use the average rate of change formula: $A(x)= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$
where
$A(x)$ is the average rate of change of the function
$f(a)$ is the position function evaluated at $a$
$f(b)$ is the position function evaluated at $b$
$a$ is the first point in the interval
$b$ is the second point in the interval

We can infer for our problem that the first point is 3 and the second point is 6, so $a=3$ and $b=6$ . Lets replace those values in our formula:
$A(x)= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$
$A(x)= \frac{f(6)-f(3)}{6-3}$
$A(x)= \frac{6-6^2-2-(3-3^2-2)}{3}$
$A(x)= \frac{-32-(-8)}{3}$
$A(x)= \frac{-32+8}{3}$
$A(x)= \frac{-24}{3}$
$A(x)=-8$

We can conclude that the average rate of change of the function f(x) = 1 x - x2 - 2 for 3 ≤ x ≤ 6 is -8
