Consider the error in using the approximation e−x≈1−x on the interval [−1,1]. (a) reasoning informally, on what interval is this

approximation an overestimate? 1 an underestimate? (for each, give your answer as an interval or list of intervals,
e.g., to specify the intervals −0.25≤x<0.5 and 0.75

e^{-x} \approx 1 - x

is a classic approximation, true for small x.

The next term in the polynomial expansion will be +kx^2 where k is a positive number. So our estimate 1-x is definitely an underestimate on both sides of x=0.

Since for negative xs the exponential rises exponentially and the line only linearly, the exponential exceeds the line for all negative x. For positive x, the line quickly goes negative while the exponential is always positive.

So, there's no interval for which our approximation is an overestimate.

Answer:

The perimeter is 27 km

The area is 21 km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle will just be all of the sides added up.

12 + 9 + 6 = 27 km

The area of a triangle is:

A = 1/2 * base * height

The base is 6 km, and the height is 7 km. Substituting the values in and solving, we get:

A = 1/2 * 6 * 7

A = 3 * 7

A = 21 km^2

How do you determine the last digit in any measured number? Select one: Round up to one digit larger than the smallest precisely
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Estimate one digit past the smallest precisely known digit or marking

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the last digit in any measured number : Estimate one digit past the smallest precisely known digit or marking

This is employed mostly when trying to round off a measured or calculated number to a precise number of digits and in other to determine the last digit in the given number we will have to estimate one digit past the smallest precisely known digit
