Average hourly earnings of production workers at nussbaum steel from 1996 through 2002 approximately by the equation y=0.498x-973.2, where x represents the year and y represents the hourly earnings. what are the approximate average hourly earnings in 1998

(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.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. if necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. x^2 - 23 = 10x a. -1.93, 11.93 b. 1.93, -11.93 c. 1.93, 11.93 d. -1.93, -11.93

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
