60 61 62 63 64 65 66 68 68 69 70 73 73 74 75 76 76 81 81 82 86 87 89 90 92

Answer:

median value = 73 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The median age of the uninsured senior citizens can be determined by determining the middle position of the row of data given

median = [( n + 1 ) / 2 ] ^th

n = 25

median = (25 + 1 ) / 2 = 26 / 2 = 13

This means that the median value is located in the 13th position

The number in the 13th position = 73 years

This problem asks for Taylor polynomials forf(x) = ln(1 +x) centered at= 0. Show Your work in an organized way.(a) Find the 4th,

stich3 [128]

Answer:

a) The 4th degree , 5th degree and sixth degree polynomials

$f^{lV} (x) = \frac{(2(-3))}{(1+x)^4} (1)= \frac{((-1)^3(3!))}{(1+x)^4}$

$f^{V} (x) = \frac{(2(-3)(-4))}{(1+x)^5} =\frac{(-1)^4 (4!)}{(1+x)^5}$

$f^{V1} (x) = \frac{(-120))}{(1+x)^6} (1) = \frac{(-1)^5 5!}{(1+x)^6}$

b)The nth degree Taylor polynomial for f(x) centered at x = 0, in expanded form.

$log(1+x) = x - \frac{x^2}{2} +\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^4}{4} + \frac{x^5}{5} - \frac{x^6}{6}+\\.. (-1)^{n-1}\frac{x^n}{n} +..$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial function f(x) = log(1+x) …...(1) centered at x=0

f(x) = log(1+x) ……(1)

using formula $\frac{d}{dx} logx =\frac{1}{x}$

Differentiating Equation(1) with respective to 'x' we get

$f^{l} (x) = \frac{1}{1+x} (\frac{d}{dx}(1+x)$

$f^{l} (x) = \frac{1}{1+x} (1)$ ….(2)

At x= 0

$f^{l} (0) = \frac{1}{1+0} (1)= 1$

using formula $\frac{d}{dx} x^{n-1} =nx^{n-1}$

Again Differentiating Equation(2) with respective to 'x' we get

$f^{l} (x) = \frac{-1}{(1+x)^2} (\frac{d}{dx}((1+x))$

$f^{ll} (x) = \frac{-1}{(1+x)^2} (1)$ ….(3)

At x=0

$f^{ll} (0) = \frac{-1}{(1+0)^2} (1)= -1$

Again Differentiating Equation(3) with respective to 'x' we get

$f^{lll} (x) = \frac{(-1)(-2)}{(1+x)^3} (\frac{d}{dx}((1+x))$

$f^{lll} (x) = \frac{(-1)(-2)}{(1+x)^3} (1)= \frac{(-1)^2 (2)!}{(1+x)^3}$ ….(4)

At x=0

$f^{lll} (0) = \frac{(-1)(-2)}{(1+0)^3} (1)$

$f^{lll} (0) = 2$

Again Differentiating Equation(4) with respective to 'x' we get

$f^{lV} (x) = \frac{(2(-3))}{(1+x)^4} (\frac{d}{dx}((1+x))$

$f^{lV} (x) = \frac{(2(-3))}{(1+x)^4} (1)= \frac{((-1)^3(3!))}{(1+x)^4}$ ....(5)

$f^{lV} (0) = \frac{(2(-3))}{(1+0)^4}$

$f^{lV} (0) = -6$

Again Differentiating Equation(5) with respective to 'x' we get

$f^{V} (x) = \frac{(2(-3)(-4))}{(1+x)^5} (\frac{d}{dx}((1+x))$

$f^{V} (x) = \frac{(2(-3)(-4))}{(1+x)^5} =\frac{(-1)^4 (4!)}{(1+x)^5}$ .....(6)

At x=0

$f^{V} (x) = 24$

Again Differentiating Equation(6) with respective to 'x' we get

$f^{V1} (x) = \frac{(2(-3)(-4)(-5))}{(1+x)^6} (\frac{d}{dx}((1+x))$

$f^{V1} (x) = \frac{(-120))}{(1+x)^6} (1) = \frac{(-1)^5 5!}{(1+x)^6}$

and so on...

The nth term is

$f^{n} (x) = = \frac{(-1)^{n-1} (n-1)!}{(1+x)^n}$

Step :-2

Taylors theorem expansion of f(x) is

$f(x) = f(a) + \frac{x}{1!} f^{l}(x) +\frac{(x-a)^2}{2!}f^{ll}(x)+\frac{(x-a)^3}{3!}f^{lll}(x)+\frac{(x-a)^4}{4!}f^{lV}(x)+\frac{(x-a)^5}{5!}f^{V}(x)+\frac{(x-a)^6}{6!}f^{VI}(x)+...….. \frac{(x-a)^n}{n!}f^{n}(x)$

At x=a =0

$f(x) = f(0) + \frac{x}{1!} f^{l}(0) +\frac{(x)^2}{2!}f^{ll}(0)+\frac{(x)^3}{3!}f^{lll}(0)+\frac{(x)^4}{4!}f^{lV}(0)+\frac{(x)^5}{5!}f^{V}(0)+\frac{(x)^6}{6!}f^{VI}(0)+...….. \frac{(x-0)^n}{n!}f^{n}(0)$

Substitute all values , we get

$f(x) = f(0) + \frac{x}{1!} (1) +\frac{(x)^2}{2!}(-1)+\frac{(x)^3}{3!}(2)+\frac{(x)^4}{4!}(-6)+\frac{(x)^5}{5!}(24)+\frac{(x)^6}{6!}(-120)+...….. \frac{(x-0)^n}{n!}f^{n}(0)$

On simplification we get

$log(1+x) = x - \frac{x^2}{2} +\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^4}{4} + \frac{x^5}{5} - \frac{x^6}{6}+\\.. (-1)^{n-1}\frac{x^n}{n} +..$

The lateral area of a right prism having a perimeter of 25 inches and a height of 5 inches is?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The lateral area is $LA=125\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of a right prism is equal to

$LA=PH$

where

P is the perimeter of the base of the prism

H is the height of the prism

in this problem we have

$P=25\ in$

$H=5\ in$

substitute

$LA=(25)(5)=125\ in^{2}$

Find the average rate of change of the exponential equation from x = 3 to x = 6

umka2103 [35]

The average rate of change of the exponential equation from x = 3 to x = 6 is 4.55

<h3>How to determine the average rate of change?</h3>

The function is given as:

$f(x) = 2x^{1.35$

When x = 3, we have:

$f(3) = 2 * 3^{1.35} =8.813$

When x = 6, we have:

$f(6) = 2 * 6^{1.35} =22.466$

The average rate of change is then calculated as:

$m = \frac{f(6) -f(3)}{6 - 3}$

This gives

$m = \frac{22.466 -8.813}{6 - 3}$

Evaluate

m = 4.55

Hence, the average rate of change of the exponential equation from x = 3 to x = 6 is 4.55
