Let f (x) = 3x − 1 and ε > 0. Find a δ > 0 such that 0 < ∣x − 5∣ < δ implies ∣f (x) − 14∣ < ε. (Find the largest

such δ.) What limit does this prove?

Answer:

This proves that f is continous at x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking f(x) = 3x-1 and \varepsilon>0, we want to find a \delta such that |f(x)-14|

At first, we will assume that this delta exists and we will try to figure out its value.

Suppose that |x-5|. Then

|f(x)-14| = |3x-1-14| = |3x-15|=|3(x-5)| = 3|x-5|< 3\delta.

Then, if |x-5|, then |f(x)-14|. So, in this case, if 3\delta \leq \varepsilon we get that |f(x)-14|. The maximum value of delta is \frac{\varepsilon}{3}.

By definition, this procedure proves that \lim_{x\to 5}f(x) = 14. Note that f(5)=14, so this proves that f is continous at x=5.

Answer:

5220

Step-by-step explanation:

1- 20x36/2 is 360

(360 x 2 is 720)

2. 25x50 is 1250

3. 29x50 is 1450

4. 36x50 is 1800

720+1250+1450+1800 is 5220

Write the equation of a sine or cosine function to describe the graph.
juin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a trigonometric function is

y = a  \sin(bx + c) + d

or

y = a \: cos(bx + c)  + d

Let define some variables,

D is the midline, this refers to the midpoint of the highest y value and lowest y value. Some textbooks call it the vertical translations but it is the same thing.

A is the amplitude. The amplitude is the distance from the midline to the highest y value. Some distance is non negative, the formula for the amplitude is

|a|

The period is how often the wave repeats itself on a interval.

Period can't be negative so the formula for period is

\frac{2 \pi}{ |b| }

To find the period, look at the extreme points.

The phase shift tells us if the sinusoid have been shifted to the right or left. The formula for the phase shift

bx + c = 0

Solving for x gives us

x =  \frac{  - c}{b}

If our x is negative, we have a phase shift to the right

If our x is Positve, we have a phase shift to the left.

Let solve this equation, Let use Sine since sin(0)=0,

The smallest y value here is 0, and the highest is 2, so the amplitude is 1.

d = 1

Next, the distance from the max to the midline is 1, as well the min to the midline is also 1.

So

a = 1

We have minimum at 0, and 8, so our period is 8.

\frac{2\pi}{b}  = 8

Solve for b,

\frac{\pi}{4}  = b

Plug this in the equation.

1 \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} x)  +

y =  \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} x)  + 1

The graph passes through (4,2) so let see if that holds true for our equation

2 =  \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} (4))  + 1

2 =  \sin(\pi)  + 1

2 = 0 + 1

2 = 1

This doesn't hold true, so we must have a phase shift

Notice that

\sin( \frac{\pi}{2} )  = 1

So if we shift this pi/2 to the right, we can get our equation to be true.

y =  \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} x -  \frac{\pi}{2} )  + 1

This equation works so our equation is

y =  \sin( \frac{\pi}{4} x -  \frac{\pi}{2} )  + 1

The distance, in feet, a stone drops in tt seconds is given by d(t)=16t2d(t)=16t2. The depth of a hole is to be approximated by
Verizon [17]

Define the distance through the equation

x=16t^2

The distance against the time is given by

\Delta x = 32 t \Delta t

\Delta t = \frac{2}{10}s

When t=2s,

\Delta x = 32(2)\frac{2}{10}

\Delta x = 12.8

There is a error in 12.8feet.

b) When t=5sec

\Delta x= 32t\Delta t

\Delta x= 32(5)*\frac{2}{10}

\Delta x = 32

There is a error in 32 feet.
