A. Find the linear approximating polynomial for the following function centered at the given point a. b. Find the quadratic approximating polynomial for the following function centeredat the given point a. c. Use the polynomials obtained in parts a. and b. to approximate the given quantity.

f(x)=1/x, a=1; approximate 1/0.97

a. p1(x) = 2 - x

b. p2(x) = x² - 3*x + 3

c. p1(0.97) = 1.03; p2(0.97) = 1.0309

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1/x

f'(x) =  -1/x²

f''(x) = 2/x³

a = 1

a. The linear approximating polynomial is:

p1(x) = f(a) + f'(a)*(x - a)

p1(x) = 1/1 + -1/1² * (x - 1)

p1(x) = 1 - x + 1

p1(x) = 2 - x

b. The quadratic approximating polynomial is:

p2(x) = p1(x) + 1/2 * f''(a)*(x - a)²

p2(x) = 2 - x + 1/2 * 2/1³ * (x - 1)²

p2(x) = 2 - x + (x - 1)²

p2(x) = 2 - x + x² - 2*x + 1

p2(x) = x² - 3*x + 3

c. approximate 1/0.97 using p1(x)

p1(0.97) = 2 - 0.97 = 1.03

approximate 1/0.97 using p2(x)

p2(0.97) = 0.97² - 3*0.97 + 3 = 1.0309

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
