Open Question: Maximum absolute value of error using taylor remainder theorem?

Open Question: Maximum absolute value of error using taylor remainder theorem?

The approximation e˜ 1+1+(1/2)+(1/6)= (8/3) is obtained from the first four terms of the Maclaurin
expansion of e^x , x = 1. From the Taylor Remainder Theorem, which of the following is the guaranteed
maximum absolute value of the error, |Rn|, of this approximation (you may take it as known that e = 3).

a. (1/24)
b. (1/8)
c. (1/6)
d. 0
e. infinity
f. 1

Open Question: How many cycles using pcr to amplify producing dna?

Open Question: How many cycles using pcr to amplify producing dna?

Each cycle of PCR increases the amount of DNA exponentially. For example, if you start with one fragment of DNA, after the first cycle, you will have two fragments. After the second cycle, you will have four.

You can run as many cycles as you want, but typically about 20-30 cycles are used for DNA amplification.

Open Question: Using Le Chatelier's principle, explain the effect of the presence of a salt of HB+ on the ionization of B?

Open Question: Using Le Chatelier's principle, explain the effect of the presence of a salt of HB+ on the ionization of B?

If you increase the presence of product into any system at equilibrium it will shift the equilibrium to the left or towards the reactant side.

In the case of your question....if you were to add HB+ to the system the equilibrium would shift left (or towards the reactants) which will decrease the ionization of B.

Or if you were to take B out (which isn't really a possibility) then again the equilibrium would be shifted to the left or towards the reactant side.

Open Question: Has anyone had a bad experience using Ouija Boards?

Open Question: Has anyone had a bad experience using Ouija Boards?

yeah, the worst experience; ever!

we were playing with a ouija board on halloween night. the lights were off and we were using candles for illumination to maintain the mood. someone left a window open and a light breeze blew some of the hanging artificial spider webs into the candle and the drapes caught on fire.

the house burned down, we were left homeless for over a year, and during that time, mom and dad got divorced, the dog died, and we all almost died from pneumonia.

Open Question: how to find the weight of something using hyd. pressure reading?

Open Question: how to find the weight of something using hyd. pressure reading?

Pressure = Force / Area

In this case, the force = weight

Pressure = weight / Area

Area is the area of the cylinder = pi*d^2/4

Weight = Pressure * Area = Pressure * pi*d^2/4

Open Question: How would you solve these using the substitution method? thanks?

Open Question: How would you solve these using the substitution method? thanks?

1) you can subtract 3y from both sides in the first equation to get....

x = 23 - 3y

plug this into the second equation to get...

3 (23 - 3y) - 2y = 3
69 - 9y - 2y = 3
11 y = 66
y = 6

plug this into either equation to find x.

x + 3(6) = 23
x = 5

2) what you are going to substitute will be very easy as the first equation is very straight forward. multiply each side of the first equation to get y = 5x (for easier calculations), then plug it into the second equation to get...

3x + 2(5x) = 26
13 x = 26
x = 2

plug in this value in either equation to find y

2 = y/5
y = 10
