The locally linear approximation of the differentiable function f at x=2 is used to approximate the value of f(2.3). The approximation at x=2.3 is an underestimate of the corresponding function value at x=2.3. Which of the following could be the graph of f?

9514 1404 393

  D

Step-by-step explanation:

If the actual value is above the value estimated from the tangent to the curve, then the curve must have a positive second derivative: it curves upward.

Only curve D in the second attachment has upward curvature.

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
