Document Summary
1. (a) you are given the following table of values: x f (x) f (x) g(x) g (x) What is the linear approximation to h(3. 02)? (this is also called the di erential or tangent line approximation. ) Solution. h (3) = (g (f (3))f (3) = g (1)f (3) = (2/7)( 8) = 16/7. Let x be the length of a horizontal size and y the length of a vertical side, in feet. The cost c in dollars is then c = 20(2x) + 10(2y). 20y = 160 40x y = 8 2x . A = xy = x(8 2x) = 8x 2x2. Then a (x) = 0 at x = 2. A is maximum at x = 2 because a (x) > 0 for x < 2 and a/(x) < 0 for x > 2. When x = 2, we have y = 8 2x = 4. So, the maximum area xy is 8 square feet.
