The maclaurin series expansion for sin(x) is: sin(x)=x−x33!+x55!−x77!+x99!−.... starting with simplest version sin(x)=x, add ter
ms one at time to estimate sin(π/8). after each new term is added, compute the true and approximate percent relative errors. add terms until value of approximate error estimation error falls bellow an error criterion conforming to two significant figures.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Subbing in:
a = 9, b = -2, c = -7
The product of a and c is the aboslute value of -63, so a*c = 63. We need 2 factors of 63 that will add to give us -2. The factors of 63 are {1, 63}, (3, 21}, {7, 9}. It looks like the combination of -9 and +7 will work because -9 + 7 = -2. Plug in accordingly:
Group together in groups of 2:
Now factor out what's common within each set of parenthesis:
We know this combination "works" because the terms inside the parenthesis are identical. We can now factor those out and what's left goes together in another set of parenthesis:
Remember that
so we sub back in and continue to factor. This was originally a fourth degree polynomial; that means we have 4 solutions.
The first two solutions are found withing the first set of parenthesis and the second two are found in other set of parenthesis. Factoring gives us that x = 1 and -1. The other set is a bit more tricky. If
then
and
You cannot take the square root of a negative number without allowing for the imaginary component, i, so we do that:
±
which will simplify down to
±
Those are the 4 solutions to the quartic equation.
Answer:
AB=5.4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We using the theorem of intersecting tangent and secant to solve this.
By this theorem:
