So it tells us that g(3) = -5 and g'(x) = x^2 + 7.
So g(3) = -5 is the point (3, -5)
Using linear approximation
g(2.99) is the point (2.99, g(3) + g'(3)*(2.99-3))
now we just need to simplify that
(2.99, -5 + (16)*(-.01)) which is (2.99, -5 + -.16) which is (2.99, -5.16)
So g(2.99) = -5.16
Doing the same thing for the other g(3.01)
(3.01, g(3) + g'(3)*(3.01-3))
(3.01, -5 + 16*.01) which is (3.01, -4.84)
So g(3.01) = -4.84
So we have our linear approximation for the two.
If you wanted to, you could check your answer by finding g(x). Since you know g'(x), take the antiderivative and we will get
g(x) = 1/3x^3 + 7x + C
Since we know g(3) = -5, we can use that to solve for C
1/3(3)^3 + 7(3) + C = -5 and we find that C = -35
so that means g(x) = (x^3)/3 + 7x - 35
So just to check our linear approximations use that to find g(2.99) and g(3.01)
g(2.99) = -5.1597
g(3.01) = -4.8397
So as you can see, using the linear approximation we got our answers as
g(2.99) = -5.16
g(3.01) = -4.84
which are both really close to the actual answer. Not a bad method if you ever need to use it.
Answer:
There are 25 chickens and 20 rabbits
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the number of chickens
y ----> the number of rabbits
Remember that
1 chicken has two legs
1 rabbit has four legs
so
2x+4y=130 -------> equation A
x=y+5 -----> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
2(y+5)+4y=130
2y+10+4y=130
6y=120
y=20 rabbits
Find the value of x
x=y+5
x=20+5=25 chickens
Hello!
The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is:
V = lwh
Let's convert the dimensions to decimals, and then use the formula to solve.
8 1/2 = 8.5 as a decimal.
7 = 7 as a decimal.
2 1/2 = 2.5 as a decimal.
Multiply:
V = 8.5 × 7 × 2.5
V = 59.5 × 2.5
V = 148.75
148.75 = 148 3/4 as a fraction because if you convert 3/4 to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator, it equals 0.75.
ANSWER:
The volume of the book is 148 3/4 inches cubed.
