Answer:

Here we just want to find the Taylor series for f(x) = ln(x), centered at the value of a (which we do not know).

Remember that the general Taylor expansion is:

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)*(x - a) + \frac{1}{2!}*f''(a)(x -a)^2 + ...

for our function we have:

f'(x) =  1/x

f''(x) = -1/x^2

f'''(x) =  (1/2)*(1/x^3)

this is enough, now just let's write the series:

f(x) = ln(a) +  \frac{1}{a} *(x - a) - \frac{1}{2!} *\frac{1}{a^2} *(x - a)^2 + \frac{1}{3!} *\frac{1}{2*a^3} *(x - a)^3 + ....

This is the Taylor series to 3rd degree, you just need to change the value of a for the required value.

Different shapes are drawn on cards and then the cards are placed in a bag. The number of cards for each shape is shown in the t
Anvisha [2.4K]
We can first add up the cards so we know how many we have in all:
16 + 16 + 18 = 50 cards

We can do this a little bit easier if we get the "16"-cards in one number total.

16 + 16 = 32

\frac{32}{50} = 32 x 2 = \frac{64}{100}
                                         50 x 2 

\frac{64}{100} = 64 : 2 = 32 %
                                            100
We did just divide the % of two types cards on 2, so we get the %-chance of 1 type card.

I am not quite sure, but I think that 32 % is the correct answer.

The students in Steven's class got to choose between pizza and burgers for the
Rainbow [258]
Answer:
95% picked pizza
Step-by-step explanation:
We can get this answer by following a few different steps. Firstly, we need the total amount of students. We get this number by adding the amount of students who wanted pizza (19 students) and the amount of students who wanted burgers (1 student). When we add those we get the total number of students, which is 20. Now, we can set up a fraction to see what amount of students out of the total number of students wanted pizza.
This would be 19/20
Now, you plug this in your calculator and will get 0.95
To turn this, or any other decimal, into a percentage you multiply by 100%.
So, multiply 0.95 x 100% = 95%

Hope this helps :)
