Use linear approximation to approximate √25.3 as follows.

Sophie [7]

The idea is to use the tangent line to $f(x)=\sqrt x$ at $x=25$ in order to approximate $f(25.3)=\sqrt{25.3}$ .

We have

$f(x)=\sqrt x\implies f(25)=\sqrt{25}=5$

$f'(x)=\dfrac1{2\sqrt x}\implies f'(25)=\dfrac1{10}$

so the linear approximation to $f(x)$ is

$L(x)=f(5)+f'(5)(x-5)=5+\dfrac{x-5}{10}=\dfrac x{10}+\dfrac92$

Hence $m=\frac1{10}$ and $b=\frac92$ .

Then

$f(25.3)\approx L(25.3)=\dfrac{25.3}{10}+\dfrac92=\boxed{7.03}$

Consider an assembly line with 20 stations. Each station has a 0.5% probability of making a defect. At the end of the line, an i

vova2212 [387]

The answer is 0.4%. The probability that a unit end in a rework can be calculated using the following equation:

P(rework)= P(defects found) * P(defect)
= .8 * .005
= .004
= 0.4%
