Answer:

f(216) \approx 6.0093

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt[3]{217}

Required

Solve

Linear approximated as:

f(x + \triangle x) \approx f(x) +\triangle x \cdot f'(x)

Take:

x = 216; \triangle x= 1

So:

f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}

Substitute 216 for x

f(x) = \sqrt[3]{216}

f(x) = 6

So, we have:

f(x + \triangle x) \approx f(x) +\triangle x \cdot f'(x)

f(215 + 1) \approx 6  +1 \cdot f'(x)

f(216) \approx 6  +1 \cdot f'(x)

To calculate f'(x);

We have:

f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}

Rewrite as:

f(x) = x^\frac{1}{3}

Differentiate

f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{1}{3} - 1}

Split

f'(x) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{x}

f'(x) = \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{3x}

Substitute 216 for x

f'(216) = \frac{216^\frac{1}{3}}{3*216}

f'(216) = \frac{6}{648}

f'(216) = \frac{3}{324}

So:

f(216) \approx 6  +1 \cdot f'(x)

f(216) \approx 6  +1 \cdot \frac{3}{324}

f(216) \approx 6  + \frac{3}{324}

f(216) \approx 6  + 0.0093

f(216) \approx 6.0093

Which ordered pairs lie on the graph of the exponential function f(x)=−3^(x−1) +2 Select each correct answer.
katrin [286]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

(1, 1), (4, -25)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

You can evaluate the function to see.

f(-1) = -3^(-1-1)+2 = -3^(-2)+2 = -1/9 +2 ≠ 2

f(1) = -3^(1-1) +2 = -1 +2 = 1

f(0) = -3^(0-1) +2 = -1/3 +2 ≠ 0

f(4) = -3^(4 -1) +2 = -27 +2 = -25

_____

Or, you can graph the points and the curve.

The temperature at a mountain base camp was −3 degrees Celsius on Monday. Tuesday morning, the temperature was 2 degrees Celsius
kotegsom [21]
It is -3 to start off with, on Monday. On Tuesday morning it would be -3 - 2 degrees, = -5 degrees. By Tuesday evening it was 4 degrees lower than in the morning, so -5 - 4 degrees = -9 degrees on Tuesday evening.

Hope this helps xox :)
