\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(9+h)-f(9)}h = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{(9+h)^4-9^4}h

Carry out the binomial expansion in the numerator:

(9+h)^4 = 9^4+4\times9^3h+6\times9^2h^2+4\times9h^3+h^4

Then the 9⁴ terms cancel each other, so in the limit we have

\displaystyle \lim_{h\to0}\frac{4\times9^3h+6\times9^2h^2+4\times9h^3+h^4}h

Since <em>h</em> is approaching 0, that means <em>h</em> ≠ 0, so we can cancel the common factor of <em>h</em> in both numerator and denominator:

\displaystyle \lim_{h\to0}(4\times9^3+6\times9^2h+4\times9h^2+h^3)

Then when <em>h</em> converges to 0, each remaining term containing <em>h</em> goes to 0, leaving you with

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(9+h)-f(9)}h = 4\times9^3 = \boxed{2916}

or choice C.

Alternatively, you can recognize the given limit as the derivative of <em>f(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 9:

f'(x) = \displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h \implies f'(9) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(9+h)-f(9)}h

We have <em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em> ⁴, so <em>f '(x)</em> = 4<em>x</em> ³, and evaluating this at <em>x</em> = 9 gives the same result, 2916.

A machine that produces ball bearings has initially been set so that the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is .5
lara [203]

Answer:

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 0.499, \sigma = 0.002

Target value of .500 in. A bearing is acceptable if its diameter is within .004 in. of this target value.

So bearing larger than 0.504 in or smaller than 0.496 in are not acceptable.

Larger than 0.504

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.504.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.504 - 0.494}{0.002}

Z = 2.5

Z = 2.5 has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938= 0.0062

Smaller than 0.496

pvalue of Z when X = -1.5

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.496 - 0.494}{0.002}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.0668 + 0.0062 = 0.073

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable
