3. How many 4-letter code can be formed using the first 10 letters of the English alphabet, if no letter can be repeated?

There cannot be more than two because there are only two vowels, e and a. But it has to be 4 lettered, which limits a lot of option, so there can only be one 4-letter code.

How many nonzero terms of the Maclaurin series for ln(1 x) do you need to use to estimate ln(1.4) to within 0.001?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The estimate of In(1.4) is the first five non-zero terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We are to find the estimate of In(1 . 4) within 0.001 by applying the function of the Maclaurin series for f(x) = In (1 + x)

So, by the application of Maclurin Series which can be expressed as:

$f(x) = f(0) + \dfrac{xf'(0)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2 f"(0)}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3f'(0)}{3!}+... \ \ \ \ \ --- (1)$

Let examine f(x) = In(1+x), then find its derivatives;

f(x) = In(1+x)

$f'(x) = \dfrac{1}{1+x}$

f'(0) $= \dfrac{1}{1+0}=1$

f ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{1}{(1+x)^2}$

f ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{1}{(1+0)^2}=-1$

f ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{2}{(1+x)^3}$

f ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{2}{(1+0)^3} = 2$

f ' ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{6}{(1+x)^4}$

f ' ' ' '(x) $= \dfrac{6}{(1+0)^4}=-6$

f ' ' ' ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{24}{(1+x)^5} = 24$

f ' ' ' ' ' (x) $= \dfrac{24}{(1+0)^5} = 24$

Now, the next process is to substitute the above values back into equation (1)

$f(x) = f(0) + \dfrac{xf'(0)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2f' \ '(0)}{2!}+\dfrac{x^3f \ '\ '\ '(0)}{3!}+\dfrac{x^4f '\ '\ ' \ ' \(0)}{4!}+\dfrac{x^5f' \ ' \ ' \ ' \ '0)}{5!}+ ...$

$In(1+x) = o + \dfrac{x(1)}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2(-1)}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3(2)}{3!}+ \dfrac{x^4(-6)}{4!}+ \dfrac{x^5(24)}{5!}+ ...$

$In (1+x) = x - \dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}- \dfrac{x^6}{6}+...$

To estimate the value of In(1.4), let's replace x with 0.4

$In (1+x) = x - \dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}- \dfrac{x^6}{6}+...$

$In (1+0.4) = 0.4 - \dfrac{0.4^2}{2}+\dfrac{0.4^3}{3}-\dfrac{0.4^4}{4}+\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}- \dfrac{0.4^6}{6}+...$

Therefore, from the above calculations, we will realize that the value of $\dfrac{0.4^5}{5}= 0.002048$ as well as $\dfrac{0.4^6}{6}= 0.00068267$ which are less than 0.001
