Answer:
the linearization is y = 1/4x +5/4
the linearization will produce <em>overestimates</em>
the values computed from this linearization are ...
f(3.98) ≈ 2.245
f(4.05) ≈ 2.2625
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, you have ...
from which you have correctly determined that ...
so that f(3) = 2 and f'(3) = 1/4. Putting these values into the point-slope form of the equation of a line, we get the linearization ...
g(x) = (1/4)(x -3) +2
g(x) = (1/4)x +5/4
__
The values from this linearization will be overestimates, as the curve f(x) is concave downward everywhere. The tangent (linearization) is necessarily above the curve everywhere.
__
At the given values, we find ...
g(3.98) = 2.245
g(4.05) = 2.2625
Answer:
pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Variable:
x = number of pages he has to read on a weekday
x + 30 = The number of pages read on Saturday and Sunday
Meaning that Raoul has to read 59 pages on Wednesday
