Answer:

The first four nonzero terms of the Taylor series of \frac{7}{x + 1} around a=2 are:

f\left(x\right)\approx P\left(x\right) = \frac{7}{3}- \frac{7}{9}\left(x-2\right)+\frac{7}{27}\left(x-2\right)^{2}- \frac{7}{81}\left(x-2\right)^{3}+\frac{7}{243}\left(x-2\right)^{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Taylor series of the function <em>f </em>at <em>a </em>(or about <em>a</em> or centered at <em>a</em>) is given by

f\left(x\right)=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{f^{(k)}\left(a\right)}{k!}\left(x-a\right)^k

To find the first four nonzero terms of the Taylor series of \frac{7}{x + 1} around a=2 you must:

In our case,

f\left(x\right) \approx P\left(x\right) = \sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}\frac{f^{(k)}\left(a\right)}{k!}\left(x-a\right)^k=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{4}\frac{f^{(k)}\left(a\right)}{k!}\left(x-a\right)^k

So, what we need to do to get the desired polynomial is to calculate the derivatives, evaluate them at the given point, and plug the results into the given formula.

  • f^{(0)}\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right)=\frac{7}{x + 1}

Evaluate the function at the point: f\left(2\right)=\frac{7}{3}

  • f^{(1)}\left(x\right)=\left(f^{(0)}\left(x\right)\right)^{\prime}=\left(\frac{7}{x + 1}\right)^{\prime}=- \frac{7}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2}}

Evaluate the function at the point: \left(f\left(2\right)\right)^{\prime }=- \frac{7}{9}

  • f^{(2)}\left(x\right)=\left(f^{(1)}\left(x\right)\right)^{\prime}=\left(- \frac{7}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2}}\right)^{\prime}=\frac{14}{\left(x + 1\right)^{3}}

Evaluate the function at the point: \left(f\left(2\right)\right)^{\prime \prime }=\frac{14}{27}

  • f^{(3)}\left(x\right)=\left(f^{(2)}\left(x\right)\right)^{\prime}=\left(\frac{14}{\left(x + 1\right)^{3}}\right)^{\prime}=- \frac{42}{\left(x + 1\right)^{4}}

Evaluate the function at the point: \left(f\left(2\right)\right)^{\prime \prime \prime }=- \frac{14}{27}

  • f^{(4)}\left(x\right)=\left(f^{(3)}\left(x\right)\right)^{\prime}=\left(- \frac{42}{\left(x + 1\right)^{4}}\right)^{\prime}=\frac{168}{\left(x + 1\right)^{5}}

Evaluate the function at the point: \left(f\left(2\right)\right)^{\prime \prime \prime \prime }=\frac{56}{81}

Apply the Taylor series definition:

f\left(x\right)\approx\frac{\frac{7}{3}}{0!}\left(x-\left(2\right)\right)^{0}+\frac{- \frac{7}{9}}{1!}\left(x-\left(2\right)\right)^{1}+\frac{\frac{14}{27}}{2!}\left(x-\left(2\right)\right)^{2}+\frac{- \frac{14}{27}}{3!}\left(x-\left(2\right)\right)^{3}+\frac{\frac{56}{81}}{4!}\left(x-\left(2\right)\right)^{4}

The first four nonzero terms of the Taylor series of \frac{7}{x + 1} around a=2 are:

f\left(x\right)\approx P\left(x\right) = \frac{7}{3}- \frac{7}{9}\left(x-2\right)+\frac{7}{27}\left(x-2\right)^{2}- \frac{7}{81}\left(x-2\right)^{3}+\frac{7}{243}\left(x-2\right)^{4}

If you flip the five coins, and the probability of one coin being "tails" is 0.50, what is the probability of getting "tails" on
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: 0.03125

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the probability of getting a tail , we toss a fair coin = 0.5

Given : Total number of trials = 5

Using binomial probability formula :

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trails, n is total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

The probability of getting "tails" on all five coins :_

P(x=5)=^5C_5(0.5)^5(1-0.5)^0=(1)(0.5)^5=0.03125

Hence,  the probability of getting "tails" on all five coins =0.03125

Ipatiy [6.2K]
Substitute y = -2x + 4 into 7y = -14x +28

7y = -14x +28
7(-2x + 4)= -14x +28
-14x + 28 = -14x +28
0 = 0
