Answer:

Slope = rise / run

= -12 / 1500 (It's -12 and not 12 because a drop means it's decreasing)

= -0.008

Enter the coefficients of the fifth Taylor polynomial T5(x) for the function f(x) = x5−3x4+2x2+5x−2 based at b=1. T5(x)= + (x−1)

DENIUS [597]

Compute the necessary values/derivatives of $f(x)$ at $x=1$ :

$f(1)=3$

$f'(1)=2$

$f''(1)=-12$

$f'''(1)=-12$

$f^{(4)}(1)=48$

$f^{(5)}(1)=120$

Taylor's theorem then says we can "approximate" (in quotes because the Taylor polynomial for a polynomial is another, exact polynomial) $f(x)$ at $x=1$ by

$T_5(x)=\dfrac3{0!}+\dfrac2{1!}(x-1)-\dfrac{12}{2!}(x-1)^2-\dfrac{12}{3!}(x-1)^3+\dfrac{48}{4!}(x-1)^4+\dfrac{120}{5!}(x-1)^5$

$T_5(x)=3+2(x-1)-6(x-1)^2-2(x-1)^3+2(x-1)^4+(x-1)^5$

###

Another way of doing this would be to solve for the coefficients $a,b,c,d,e,g$ in

$f(x)=a+b(x-1)+c(x-1)^2+d(x-1)^3+e(x-1)^4+g(x-1)^5$

by expanding the right hand side and matching up terms with the same power of $x$ .

the jars of paint in the art room have different amounts of paint. The green paint jar is 4/8 full. The purple paint jar is 4/6

BartSMP [9]

The green paint jar is less full. if the denominator is the smaller, and the numerator is the same, the one with the bigger denominator is smaller

given the functions f(x)=4x^2-1, g(x)=x^2-8x+5, and h(x)=-3x^2-12x +1, rank them from least to greatest based on their axis of s

Lesechka [4]

The formula for axis of symmetry is -b/2a.

For f(x):
0/2(4)
0/8
Axis of symmetry= 0

For g(x)
-(-8)/2(1)
8/2
Axis of symmetry= 4

For h(x)
-(-12)/2(-3)
12/-6
Axis of symmetry= -2

Order from least to greatest: -2, 0, 4

Final answer: h(x), f(x), g(x)
