The integral for the area of the surface generated by revolving f(x)=2x + 5x on [1, 4) about the y-axis is given by:

S = 2π ∫[1,4] x * sqrt(1 + (7)^2) dx.

This integral can be evaluated using integration techniques to find the surface area of the solid generated by revolving f(x) around the y-axis.

To set up the integral for the area of the surface generated by revolving f(x)=2x + 5x on [1, 4) about the y-axis, we use the formula for the surface area of revolution around the y-axis:

S = 2π ∫[a,b] x * sqrt(1 + (f'(x))^2) dx

where a = 1, b = 4, and f(x) = 2x + 5x.

The first derivative of f(x) is f'(x) = 7.

Therefore, S = 2π ∫[1,4] x * sqrt(1 + (7)^2) dx.

In this case, we are revolving the function around the y-axis. The formula for surface area of revolution around the y-axis is given by:

S = 2π ∫[a,b] x * sqrt(1 + (f'(x))^2) dx

where a and b are the limits of integration and f(x) is the function being revolved. In this case, a = 1 and b = 4 and f(x) = 2x + 5x.

The first derivative of f(x) is f'(x) = 7. Substituting these values into the formula gives:

S = 2π ∫[1,4] x * sqrt(1 + (7)^2) dx.

To determine if Rolle's theorem applies to the function f(x) = -cos(4x) on the interval [a, b], we need to check two conditions:

Let's check these conditions for the given function f(x) = -cos(4x) on the interval [a, b].

Since both the continuity and differentiability conditions are satisfied, Rolle's theorem applies to the function f(x) = -cos(4x) on the interval [a, b].

According to Rolle's theorem, if a function is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b), and the function values at the endpoints are equal (f(a) = f(b)), then there exists at least one point c in the open interval (a, b) where the derivative of the function is equal to zero (f'(c) = 0).

In this case, since the interval [a, b] is not specified, we cannot determine the exact values of a and b. However, based on Rolle's theorem, we can conclude that there exists at least one point c in the interval (a, b) where the derivative of the function is equal to zero, i.e., f'(c) = 0.

Therefore, the point(s) guaranteed to exist by Rolle's theorem for the function f(x) = -cos(4x) on the given interval are the point(s) where the derivative f'(x) = 4sin(4x) equals zero.

The volume enclosed by the two paraboloids is zero.

To express the volume enclosed by the two paraboloids as a triple integral, we first need to determine the limits of integration.

The paraboloid z = x² + y²- 1 represents a circular cone opening upwards with its vertex at (0, 0, -1) and the base lying on the xy-plane.

The equation x² + y² = 1 represents a circle centered at the origin with a radius of 1.

To find the limits of integration, we can express the volume as a triple integral over the region of the xy-plane enclosed by the circle. We can integrate the height (z) of the upper paraboloid minus the height (z) of the lower paraboloid over this region.

Let's express the volume V as a triple integral using cylindrical coordinates (ρ, φ, z), where ρ represents the distance from the origin to a point in the xy-plane, φ represents the angle measured from the positive x-axis to the line connecting the origin to the point in the xy-plane,t and z represents the height.

The limits of integration for ρ and φ are determined by the circle x² + y² = 1, which can be parameterized as x = ρ cos(φ) and y = ρ sin(φ). The limits of integration for ρ are from 0 to 1, and for φ, it is from 0 to 2π (a full circle).

The limits of integration for z will be the difference between the two paraboloids at each point (ρ, φ) on the xy-plane enclosed by the circle. We need to find the z-coordinate for each paraboloid.

For the upper paraboloid (z = x²+ y² - 1), the z-coordinate is ρ²- 1.

For the lower paraboloid (z = 2 - ρ² - y⁰), the z-coordinate is 2 - ρ² - 0 = 2 - ρ².

Now, we can express the volume V as a triple integral:

V = ∭[(ρ² - 1) - (2 - ρ²)] ρ dρ dφ dz

Integrating with the limits of integration:

V = ∫[0 to 2π] ∫[0 to 1] ∫[(ρ² - 1) - (2 - ρ²)] ρ dz dρ dφ

Simplifying the integrals:

V = ∫[0 to 2π] ∫[0 to 1] [(ρ³ - ρ) - (2ρ - ρ³)] dρ dφ

V = ∫[0 to 2π] ∫[0 to 1] (-ρ + 2ρ - 2ρ³) dρ dφ

V = ∫[0 to 2π] [(-ρ²/₂ + ρ² - ρ⁴/₂)] [0 to 1] dφ

V = ∫[0 to 2π] [(1/2 - 1/2 - 1/2)] dφ

V = ∫[0 to 2π] [0] dφ

V = 0

Therefore, the volume enclosed by the two paraboloids is zero.

To calculate the integral ∫(2x √(x^2-81)) dx, the correct answer among the options is F(x) = in(x +9) - In(x - 9) + C.

The integral ∫(2x √(x^2-81)) dx can be evaluated using substitution. Let u = x^2 - 81, then du = 2x dx.

Substituting these values into the integral, we have ∫(√(u)) du.

Integrating √(u) with respect to u gives us (√(u^3))/3 + C, where C is the constant of integration.

Replacing u with x^2 - 81, we have (√((x^2 - 81)^3))/3 + C.

Simplifying the expression (√((x^2 - 81)^3))/3 + C further, we can rewrite it as (√(x^2 - 81)^3)/3 + C.

Now, we need to simplify (√(x^2 - 81)^3). By applying the property of radicals, we have √(x^2 - 81) = |x - 9|.

Therefore, the integral can be written as (|x - 9|^3)/3 + C.

Since the absolute value function can be expressed using natural logarithms, we can rewrite the integral as (√(x + 9) - √(x - 9))/3 + C.

To find the exact value of tan 120° using the half-angle formulas, we will utilize two different formulas: one containing square roots and the other without square roots.

First, let's use the formula with square roots:

tan(x/2) = ±sqrt((1 - cos(x))/(1 + cos(x)))

Since we need to find tan 120°, we will substitute x = 120° into the formula:

tan(120°/2) = ±sqrt((1 - cos(120°))/(1 + cos(120°)))

To simplify the expression, we need to evaluate cos(120°). Since cos(120°) = -1/2, we have:

tan(120°/2) = ±sqrt((1 - (-1/2))/(1 + (-1/2)))

= ±sqrt((3/2)/(1/2))

= ±sqrt(3)

Therefore, the exact value of tan 120° using the half-angle formula with square roots is ±sqrt(3).

Now, let's use the formula without square roots:

tan(x/2) = (1 - cos(x))/sin(x)

Substituting x = 120°, we get:

tan(120°/2) = (1 - cos(120°))/sin(120°)

Again, evaluating cos(120°) and sin(120°), we have:

tan(120°/2) = (1 - (-1/2))/(sqrt(3)/2)

= (3/2)/(sqrt(3)/2)

= 3/sqrt(3)

= sqrt(3)

Hence, the exact value of tan 120° using the half-angle formula without square roots is sqrt(3).

To use the comparison test, we need to compare the given series E(n=1 to infinity) (2^(1/n) - 1) to a known convergent or divergent series. This series converges when |r| < 1 and diverges when |r| ≥ 1. In the given series, we have 2^(1/n) - 1.

As n increases, 1/n approaches 0, and therefore 2^(1/n) approaches 2^0, which is 1. So, the series can be rewritten as E(n=1 to infinity) (1 - 1) = E(n=1 to infinity) 0, which is a series of zeros. Since the series E(n=1 to infinity) 0 is a convergent series (the sum is 0), we can conclude that the given series E(n=1 to infinity) (2^(1/n) - 1) also converges by the comparison test.

The 5th derivative of f(x) at 0, f(5)(0), is 0 using the given Maclaurin series that converges to the function.

To find the power series centered at 0 that converges to the function f(x) = sin(2x²), we can substitute 2x² into the Maclaurin series for sin x.

a) Power series for f(x) = sin(2x²):

Using the Maclaurin series for sin x, we substitute 2x² for x:

sin(2x²) = [tex]\sum ((-1 * (2x^2)^{(2n+1)} / (2n + 1)!)[/tex] for all x in R

Expanding and simplifying:

sin(2x²) = [tex]\sum((-1)^{(n)} * 2^{(2n+1)} * x^{(4n+2)} / (2n + 1)!)[/tex] for all x in R

This is the power series centered at 0 that converges to f(x) = sin(2x²).

b) First few terms of the power series:

Differentiating the power series term by term:

f(x) =  [tex]\sum((-1)^{(n)} * 2^{(2n+1)} * x^{(4n+2)} / (2n + 1)!)[/tex]  for all x in R

f(x) = [tex]\sum((-1)^{(n) }* 2^{(2n+1)} * (4n+2) * x^{(4n+1)} / (2n + 1)!)[/tex] for all x in R

f(x) = [tex]\sum((-1)^{(n)} * 2^{(2n+1)} * (4n+2)(4n+1)(4n)(4n-1)(4n-2) * x^{(4n-3)} / (2n + 1)!)[/tex]for all x in R

Now, evaluating each of these derivatives at x = 0:

[tex]f(5)(0) =\sum((-1)^{(n) }* 2^{(2n+1) }* (4n+2)(4n+1)(4n)(4n-1)(4n-2) * 0^{(4n-3)} / (2n + 1)!)[/tex]for all x in R

Since x^(4n-3) becomes 0 when x = 0, all terms in the series except the first term become 0:

[tex]f(5)(0) =\sum((-1)^{(n) }* 2^{(2n+1) }* (4n+2)(4n+1)(4n)(4n-1)(4n-2) * 0^{(4n-3)} / (2n + 1)!)[/tex]

       = 2 * 2 * 1 * 0 * (-1) * (-2) * 0 / 1!

a) The derivative of g(x) is g'(x) = -2sin(2x + 1)

c) y' = 1

(a) To find the derivative of the function g(x) = cos(2x + 1), we can use the chain rule. The derivative of the cosine function is -sin(x), and the derivative of the inner function (2x + 1) with respect to x is 2. Applying the chain rule, we have:

g'(x) = -sin(2x + 1) * 2

So, the derivative of g(x) is g'(x) = -2sin(2x + 1).

(b) To find the derivative of the function f(x) = ln(x^2 - 4)^(2-3sinx), we can use the product rule and the chain rule. Let's break down the function:

f(x) = u(x) * v(x)

Where u(x) = ln(x^2 - 4) and v(x) = (x^2 - 4)^(2-3sinx)

Now, we can differentiate each term separately and then apply the product rule:

u'(x) = (1 / (x^2 - 4)) * 2x

v'(x) = (2-3sinx) * (x^2 - 4)^(2-3sinx-1) * (2x) - (ln(x^2 - 4)) * 3cosx * (x^2 - 4)^(2-3sinx)

Using the product rule, we have:

f'(x) = u'(x) * v(x) + u(x) * v'(x)

f'(x) = [(1 / (x^2 - 4)) * 2x] * (x^2 - 4)^(2-3sinx) + ln(x^2 - 4) * (2-3sinx) * (x^2 - 4)^(2-3sinx-1) * (2x) - (ln(x^2 - 4)) * 3cosx * (x^2 - 4)^(2-3sinx)

Simplifying the expression will depend on the specific values of x and the algebraic manipulations required.

(c) The function y = x + 4 is a linear function, and the derivative of any linear function is simply the coefficient of x. So, the derivative of y = x + 4 is:

y' = 1

(d) To find the derivative of the function f(x) = (x + 7)^4 * (2x - 1)^3, we can use the product rule. Let's denote u(x) = (x + 7)^4 and v(x) = (2x - 1)^3.

Applying the product rule, we have: f'(x) = u'(x) * v(x) + u(x) * v'(x)

The derivative of u(x) = (x + 7)^4 is: u'(x) = 4(x + 7)^3

The derivative of v(x) = (2x - 1)^3 is: v'(x) = 3(2x - 1)^2 * 2

Now, substituting these values into the product rule formula:

f'(x) = 4(x + 7)^3 * (2x - 1)^3 + (x + 7)^4 * 3(2x - 1)^2 * 2

Simplifying this expression will depend on performing the necessary algebraic manipulations.

Answer:

The equation for "7 times a number s is 84" can be written as:

7s = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

7s = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase "a number" represents an unknown value, which we can denote as a variable. In this case, the variable is represented by the letter s.

The phrase "7 times a number s" indicates that we need to multiply the number s by 7. Multiplication is denoted by the multiplication sign "*", and when we multiply 7 by the number s, we get the expression 7s.

The word "is" in the context of an equation signifies equality. It means that the expression on the left side of the equation is equal to the expression on the right side.

The number 84 represents the result of the multiplication. In this equation, it states that the product of 7 and the number s is equal to 84.

Combining all these components, we can express the statement "7 times a number s is 84" as the equation 7s = 84. This equation asserts that the product of 7 and the unknown number s is equal to 84.

The given statement relates to the convergence in probability of a sequence of random vectors and the behavior of a function R defined on the domain of the vectors. It provides two cases: (i) if R(h) = oh(||h||P) as h approaches 0, then R(X) = Op(||X||'); and (ii) if R(h) = O(||h||P) as h approaches 0, then R(X) = Op(||X||P).

In case (i), when the function R(h) behaves like oh(||h||P) as h approaches 0, it implies that the function R has the same order of magnitude as h multiplied by the norm of h raised to the power of P. If the sequence of random vectors X converges in probability to zero, denoted by X converging to 0 in probability, then we can conclude that R(X) also converges in order of magnitude to 0, denoted by R(X) = Op(||X||'). Here, ||X||' represents the norm of X.

In case (ii), when the function R(h) behaves like O(||h||P) as h approaches 0, it indicates that the function R has an upper bound that is of the same order of magnitude as the norm of h raised to the power of P. Similarly, if X converges to 0 in probability, then R(X) also converges in order of magnitude to 0, denoted by R(X) = Op(||X||P), where ||X||P represents the norm of X raised to the power of P.

These results demonstrate the relationship between the convergence in probability of a sequence of random vectors and the behavior of a function defined on the domain of the vectors.

To find the equation of the osculating circle at the local minimum of the function [tex]f(x) = 2 + 6x^2 + 14x^3[/tex], we need to determine the coordinates of the point of interest and the radius of the circle.

First, we find the derivative of the function:

[tex]f'(x) = 12x + 42x^2[/tex]

Setting f'(x) = 0, we can solve for the critical points:

[tex]12x + 42x^2 = 0[/tex]

6x(2 + 7x) = 0

x = 0 or x = -2/7

Since we are looking for the local minimum, we need to evaluate the second derivative:

f''(x) = 12 + 84x

For x = -2/7, f''(-2/7) = 12 + 84(-2/7) = -6

Therefore, the point of interest is (-2/7, f(-2/7)).

To find the radius of the osculating circle, we use the formula:

radius = 1/|f''(-2/7)| = 1/|-6| = 1/6

We come to the conclusion that, provided the scalar (k) is suitably selected, successive search directions in the steepest descent method are orthogonal (hv(k+1), v(k)i = 0).

To determine a function's minimum, an optimization approach called the steepest descent method is applied. In order to minimise the function, it iteratively updates the search direction at each step.

The update formula for the search direction in the k-th iteration, v(k+1) = -f(x(k)) + (k)v(k), where f(x(k)) is the gradient of the objective function at the k-th point and (k) is a scalar, is used to demonstrate that successive search directions in the steepest descent method are orthogonal.

Now compute hv(k+1), v(k)i, the inner product of the kth and (k+1)th search directions. We obtain hv(k+1), v(k)i = (-f(x(k)) + (k)v(k))T v(k) using the update formula. We obtain hv(k+1), v(k)i = -f(x(k))T v(k) + (k)v(k)T v(k) by expanding this expression.

The first item on the right-hand side becomes zero because the gradient f(x(k)) and the search direction v(k) are orthogonal (a characteristic of the steepest descent method). The squared Euclidean norm of the search direction, which is always positive, is also represented by v(k)T v(k)T. As a result, the second term, (k)v(k)T v(k), is only zero if (k) = 0.

Therefore, we draw the conclusion that, if the scalar (k) is suitably chosen, successive search directions in the steepest descent method are orthogonal (hv(k+1), v(k)i = 0). The steepest descent optimisation algorithm's convergence and efficacy are greatly influenced by this orthogonality characteristic.

The solution to the initial value problem dy/dt = 32t + sec^2(t), y(2) = 2 is given by the equation y(t) = 16t^2 + tan(t) - 16 + C, where C is a constant.

To solve the given initial value problem, we can start by integrating both sides of the differential equation with respect to t. This gives us:

∫(dy/dt) dt = ∫(32t + sec^2(t)) dt

Integrating the left side gives us y(t), and integrating the right side gives us 16t^2 + tan(t) + C, where C is the constant of integration. Next, we apply the initial condition y(2) = 2 to find the value of C. Substituting t = 2 and y = 2 into the equation, we get:

2 = 16(2)^2 + tan(2) + C

2 = 64 + tan(2) + C

Simplifying, we find:

C = 2 - 64 - tan(2)

C = -62 - tan(2)

Therefore, the solution to the initial value problem is given by the equation:

y(t) = 16t^2 + tan(t) - 16 - 62 - tan(2)

To evaluate the limit lim(x→0) (6e^(3x) - 1)/(7e^(3x) + e^x + 1), we can use the substitution t = e^(3x) to simplify the expression.

Let's substitute t = e^(3x) into the given expression. As x approaches 0, t approaches e^(3*0) = e^0 = 1. Thus, we have t→1 as x→0.

Now, rewriting the expression with the new variable t, we get lim(x→0) (6e^(3x) - 1)/(7e^(3x) + e^x + 1) = lim(t→1) (6t - 1)/(7t + e^(x→0) + 1).

Since x approaches 0, the term e^(x→0) becomes e^0 = 1. Therefore, the expression simplifies to lim(t→1) (6t - 1)/(7t + 1 + 1) = lim(t→1) (6t - 1)/(7t + 2).

Finally, evaluating the limit as t approaches 1, we substitute t = 1 into the expression to get (6(1) - 1)/(7(1) + 2) = 5/9.

Hence, the exact value of the limit lim(x→0) (6e^(3x) - 1)/(7e^(3x) + e^x + 1) is 5/9.

We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is evidence to suggest that the proportion of students who would score a 5 on the AP statistics exam when taught by the teacher in Worcester using cash incentives is higher than the worldwide proportion of 0.15.

Based on the given information, the null hypothesis would be that the proportion of students who scored a 5 on the AP statistics exam when taught by the teacher in Worcester using cash incentives is equal to the worldwide proportion of 0.15. The alternative hypothesis would be that the proportion is higher than 0.15.
To test this hypothesis, we can use a one-sample proportion test. The sample proportion is 15/61, or 0.245. Using this and the sample size, we can calculate the test statistic z = (0.245 - 0.15) / sqrt(0.15 * 0.85 / 61) = 2.26. The P-value for this test is P(z > 2.26) = 0.012, which is less than the typical alpha level of 0.05. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is evidence to suggest that the proportion of students who would score a 5 on the AP statistics exam when taught by the teacher in Worcester using cash incentives is higher than the worldwide proportion of 0.15.
However, this study alone cannot provide actual evidence that cash incentives cause an increase in the proportion of 5's on the AP statistics exam. There could be other factors that contribute to the higher proportion, such as the teacher's teaching style or the motivation of the students. A randomized controlled trial would be needed to establish a causal relationship between cash incentives and student performance.

(a) To evaluate the definite integral of (tan x)/(1 + tan^2 x) with respect to x from 0 to π/4, we can make the substitution u = tan x.

When u = tan x, the differential dx can be expressed as du/(1 + u^2).

The new integral becomes ∫[0 to 1] du/(1 + u^2).

This is a standard integral of the form ∫(1/(1 + x^2)) dx, which we can evaluate by taking the inverse tangent function:

∫(1/(1 + u^2)) du = arctan(u) + C.

Evaluating the definite integral from 0 to 1, we have arctan(1) - arctan(0) = π/4 - 0 = π/4.

Therefore, the value of the definite integral is π/4.

(b) To evaluate the definite integral of √(2 - x^2) dx, we recognize that this represents the upper half of a circle with radius √2 centered at the origin.

The area of a half-circle with radius r is (1/2)πr^2. In this case, r = √2.

Thus, the area of the upper half-circle is (1/2)π(√2)^2 = (1/2)π(2) = π.

Therefore, the value of the definite integral is π.

To find the value of k if f(0) = 3, substitute x = 0 into the equation f(x) = 2kx - 4 and solve for k. The value of k is -2.

Given the function f(x) = 2kx - 4, we are asked to find the value of k if f(0) = 3. To find this, we substitute x = 0 into the equation and solve for k.

Plugging in x = 0, we have f(0) = 2k(0) - 4 = -4. Since we know that f(0) = 3, we set -4 equal to 3 and solve for k. -4 = 3 implies 2k = 7, and dividing by 2 gives k = -7/2 = -3.5. Therefore, the value of k that satisfies f(0) = 3 is -3.5.

If the null hypothesis is rejected, it suggests that there is evidence to support the claim that the mean weight of Take-a-Bite snack food is less than 175 grams.

What is the standard deviation?

The standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion or variability of a set of data points. It quantifies how much the individual data points deviate from the mean of the data set.

To test the claim that the mean weight of Take-a-Bite snack food is less than 175 grams, we can conduct a one-sample t-test. Here's how we can perform the test at a significance level of 0.05:

Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses:

Null Hypothesis (H0): The mean weight of Take-a-Bite snack food is equal to 175 grams.

Alternative Hypothesis (H1):

The mean weight of Take-a-Bite snack food is less than 175 grams.

Step 2: Determine the test statistic:

Since the population standard deviation is unknown, we use the t-test statistic. The test statistic for a one-sample t-test is calculated as: t = (sample mean - hypothesized mean) / (sample standard deviation / √n)

In this case, the sample mean is 172 grams, the hypothesized mean is 175 grams, the sample standard deviation is 8 grams, and the sample size is 70.

Step 3: Set the significance level: The significance level (alpha) is given as 0.05.

Step 4: Calculate the test statistic:

t = (172 - 175) / (8 / √70) ≈ -1.158

Step 5: Determine the critical value and p-value:

Since we are conducting a one-tailed test to check if the mean weight is less than 175 grams, we need to find the critical value or p-value for the lower tail.

Using a t-distribution table or statistical software, we can find the critical value or p-value associated with a t-statistic of -1.158 and degrees of freedom (df) equal to n - 1 (70 - 1 = 69) at a significance level of 0.05.

Step 6: Make a decision:

If the p-value is less than the significance level (0.05), we reject the null hypothesis. If the critical value is greater than the test statistic, we reject the null hypothesis.

Step 7: Interpret the results:

Based on the calculated test statistic and critical value or p-value, make a conclusion about the null hypothesis. If the null hypothesis is rejected, it suggests that there is evidence to support the claim that the mean weight of Take-a-Bite snack food is less than 175 grams. If the null hypothesis is not rejected, there is insufficient evidence to support the claim.

The correct statement is d. A is dependent on B, A is independent of C.Whether a number is even (A) is not affected by whether it is divisible by 3 (B), so A is independent of B. However, if a number is divisible by 4 (C), it is guaranteed to be even (A), so A is dependent on C.

This is because if a number is divisible by 3, it cannot be even (i.e. not in event A), and vice versa. Therefore, A and B are dependent. However, being divisible by 4 does not affect whether a number is even or not, so A and C are independent. An even number is divisible by 2. Since all numbers divisible by 4 are also divisible by 2, we can conclude that if an event is divisible by 4 (C), it must also be divisible by 2 (A). Therefore, event A is dependent on event C. However, there is no direct relationship mentioned between event A (even number) and event B (divisible by 3). Divisibility by 3 and being an even number are unrelated properties.

Trapezoidal rule, the error is less than Err = ((52-0)^3/12(4)^2)*[f^′′(c)] = 108.68 and for Simpson's rule, the error is less than Err = ((52-0)^5/180(4)^4)*[f^(4)(c)] = 0.0043.

Let's have detailed explanation:

Trapezoidal Rule:

The Trapezoidal rule is a method of numerical integration which estimates the integral of a function f(x) over an interval [a,b] by dividing it into N intervals of equal width Δx along with N+1 points a=x0,x1,…,xN=b. The formula of the Trapezoidal rule is

              ∫a^b f(x)dx ≈ (Δx/2)[f(a) + 2f(x1)+2f(x2)+...+2f(xN−1)+f(b)].

For the given problem, n=4. Therefore, the value of Δx=(b-a)/n=(52-0)/4=13. Thus,

                ∫0^52 f(x)dx ≈ (13/2)[f(0) + 2f(13)+2f(26)+2f(39)+f(52)].

The error bound is given by Err = ((b−a)^3/12n^2)*[f^′′(c)] where cε[a,b]. Here, the value of f^′′(c) can be obtained from the second derivative of the given equation which is f^′′(x) = −2cos(2x).

Simpson's Rule:

The Simpson's rule is also a method of numerical integration which approximates the integral of a function over an interval [a,b] using the parabola which passes through the given three points. The formula of the Simpson's rule is

∫a^b f(x)dx ≈ (Δx/3)[f(a) + 4f(x1)+ 2f(x2)+ 4f(x3)+ 2f(x4)+ ...+ 4f(xN−1)+ f(b)].

For the given problem, n=4. Therefore, the value of Δx=(b-a)/n=(52-0)/4=13. Thus,

          ∫0^52 f(x)dx ≈ (13/3)[f(0) + 4f(13)+ 2f(26)+ 4f(39)+ f(52)].

The error bound is given by Err = ((b−a)^5/180n^4)*[f^(4)(c)] where cε[a,b]. Here, the value of f^(4)(c) can be obtained from the fourth derivative of the given equation which is f^(4)(x) = 8cos(2x).

Therefore, for Trapezoidal rule, the error is less than Err = ((52-0)^3/12(4)^2)*[f^′′(c)] = 108.68 and for Simpson's rule, the error is less than Err = ((52-0)^5/180(4)^4)*[f^(4)(c)] = 0.0043.

Substituting this value of θ into the derivative dr/dθ = 3 cos θ, we obtain the slope of the tangent line at the point (16) as the value of dr/dθ evaluated at θ = arcsin(16/3).

The slope of the tangent line to the polar curve r = 3 sin θ at the point (16) can be found by taking the derivative of the polar curve equation with respect to θ and evaluating it at the given point. The derivative gives the rate of change of r with respect to θ, and evaluating it at the specific value of θ yields the slope of the tangent line.

The polar curve is given by r = 3 sin θ, where r represents the radial distance from the origin and θ represents the polar angle. To find the slope of the tangent line at the point (16), we need to determine the derivative of the polar curve equation with respect to θ. Taking the derivative of both sides of the equation, we have dr/dθ = 3 cos θ.

To find the slope of the tangent line at the specific point (16), we need to evaluate the derivative at the corresponding value of θ. Given the point (16), we can determine the value of θ by using the equation r = 3 sin θ. Substituting r = 16 into the equation, we have 16 = 3 sin θ. Solving for sin θ, we find θ = arcsin(16/3).

Finally, substituting this value of θ into the derivative dr/dθ = 3 cos θ, we obtain the slope of the tangent line at the point (16) as the value of dr/dθ evaluated at θ = arcsin(16/3).
