Hey there!

The word sum usually means addition in mathematics!

27 + (-28) / 2

= 27 - 28 / 2

= -1 / 2

= -0.5

Answer: -1/2 OR -0.5 (either those should work because they are both equivalent)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

The sum of 27 & - 28 divided by 2.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

Okay, so first we need to frame this statement to a numerical expression. It will be :- '27 + (-28) / 2 [sum means to add the 2 numbers, i.e, 27 + (-28). Then we should divide the result by 2 according to the question given.)
Now, let's solve it.

$\sf\frac { 27 + ( - 28 ) } { 2 } \\$

Subtract 28 from 27 to get -1.

$\boxed{\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\frac{-1}{2} = \bf- 0.5}}}$

So, the answer will be - 1/2 in its fractional form or 0.5 in its decimal form.

Which of the following describes the end behavior over the domain of the square root function graphed above? Please HELP!!!!!!!!

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Short Answer A

It's a good thing that the domain is confined or the graph is. That function is undefined if x < - 3

At exactly x = - 3, f(x) = 0 and that's your starting point.

So look what happens to this graph. If x = 0, f(0) = y = 3. So we are starting to see that as x get's larger so does f(x). The graph tells us that x = 0 is bigger than x = - 3.

Let's keep on plugging things in.
As x increases to 5, f(5) = 5. x = 5 is larger than x = 0, and f(5) > 3.

One more and then we'll start drawing conclusions. If x = 9 then f(9) = y = 6.
x = 9 is larger than x = 5. f(9) = 6 is just larger than f(5) which is 5

OK I think we should be ready to look at answers. There's nothing there that makes the answer anything but a. Let's find out what the problem is with the rest of the choices.

B
The problem with B is that as x increases, f(x) does not decrease. We didn't find one example of that. So B is wrong.

C
C has exactly the same problem as B.

D
The second statement in D is incorrect. As x increases f(x) never decreases. No example showed that.

The answer is A <<<< Answer.

Find the Taylor series for f(x) centered at the given value of a. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do not show that

juin [17]

Answer:

The Taylor series of f(x) around the point a, can be written as:

$f(x) = f(a) + \frac{df}{dx}(a)*(x -a) + (1/2!)\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}(a)*(x - a)^2 + .....$

Here we have:

f(x) = 4*cos(x)

a = 7*pi

then, let's calculate each part:

f(a) = 4*cos(7*pi) = -4

df/dx = -4*sin(x)

(df/dx)(a) = -4*sin(7*pi) = 0

(d^2f)/(dx^2) = -4*cos(x)

(d^2f)/(dx^2)(a) = -4*cos(7*pi) = 4

Here we already can see two things:

the odd derivatives will have a sin(x) function that is zero when evaluated in x = 7*pi, and we also can see that the sign will alternate between consecutive terms.

so we only will work with the even powers of the series:

f(x) = -4 + (1/2!)*4*(x - 7*pi)^2 - (1/4!)*4*(x - 7*pi)^4 + ....

So we can write it as:

f(x) = ∑fₙ

Such that the n-th term can written as:

$fn = (-1)^{2n + 1}*4*(x - 7*pi)^{2n}$

A young couple purchases their first new home in 2011 for $95,000. They sell it to move into a bigger home in 2018 for $105,00

mart [117]

Given:

The value of home in 2011 is $95,000.

The value of home in 2018 is $105,000.

To find:

The exponential model for the value of the home.

Solution:

The general exponential model is

$y=ab^x$ ...(i)

where, a is initial value and b is growth factor.

Let 2011 is initial year and x be the number of years after 2011.

So, initial value of home is 95,000, i.e., a=95,000.

Put a=95000 in (i).

$y=95000b^x$ ...(ii)

The value of home in 2018 is $105,000. It means the value of y is 105000 at x=7.

$105000=95000b^7$

$\dfrac{105000}{95000}=b^7$

$\dfrac{21}{19}=b^7$

Taking 7th root on both sides, we get

$\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}=b$

Put $b=\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}$ in (ii).

$y=95000\left(\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}\right)^x$

$y=95000\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{x}{7}}$

Therefore, the required exponential model for the value of home is $y=95000\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{x}{7}}$ , where x is the number of years after 2011.
