Three volumes of the series Mathematics: Its Content, Methods, and Meaning are on a shelf with no space between the volumes. Each volume is 1 inch thick without its covers. Each cover is 1/8 inch thick. A bookworm bores horizontally from the first page of Volume 1 to the last page of Volume III. How far does the bookworm travel?

(a) compute the maclaurin polynomial m2(x) for f(x) = cos x. (b) use the polynomial of part (a) to estimate cos π 12. (c) use a calculator to compute the error made using the estimate from part (b) for the value of cos π 12. remember that the error is defined to be the absolute value of the difference between the true value and the estimate.

Line u passes through points (-52, -18) and (-29, 53). line v passes through points (90, 33) and (19, 56). are line u and line v parallel or perpendicular?
