The answer is 153.86:

if we round the answer it will be
153.9
If <em>f(x)</em> = 7/(1<em> </em>+ <em>x</em>), then
<em>f</em> (2) = 7/3
<em>f '(x)</em> = -7/(<em>x</em> + 1)² ==> <em>f '</em> (2) = -7/9
<em>f ''(x)</em> = 14/(<em>x</em> + 1)³ ==> <em>f ''</em> (2) = 14/27
<em>f '''(x)</em> = -42/(<em>x</em> + 1)⁴ ==> <em>f '''</em> (2) = -14/27
Then the Taylor series of <em>f(x)</em> about <em>a</em> = 2 is
7/3 + 1/1! (-7/9) (<em>x</em> - 2) + 1/2! (14/27) (<em>x</em> - 2)² + 1/3! (-14/27) (<em>x</em> - 2)³
= 7/3 - 7/9 (<em>x</em> - 2) + 7/27 (<em>x</em> - 2)² - 7/81 (<em>x</em> - 2)³
This question is Incomplete because it lacks the appropriate diagram for the square pyramid. Please kindly find attached the required diagram
Answer:
45 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that the foil covers the body of the trophy including the bottom, hence the formula we would be applying =
Total Surface Area of the Square pyramid = 2bs + b²
Where s = Height of the square pyramid
b = Edge length of the square pyramid
From the attached diagram, we can see that:
s = 6 inches
b = 3 inches
Total Surface Area of the Square pyramid = 2bs + b²
= 2 × 3 × 6 + 3²
= 36 + 9
= 45 square inches.
Therefore, the amount of gold foil it took to cover the trophy, including the bottom is 45 square inches
