h(x)= tan(x)-x/x^3
given values 1 and 0.5
To find the values of h(x) at x = 1 and x = 0.5, you need to substitute these values into the function h(x).
Let's start by finding h(1):
h(1) = tan(1) - 1 / 1^3
= tan(1) - 1
Next, let's find h(0.5):
h(0.5) = tan(0.5) - 0.5 / 0.5^3
= tan(0.5) - 0.5 / 0.125
= tan(0.5) - 4
To calculate the exact values of h(1) and h(0.5), you'll need to use a calculator or a tool that can compute trigonometric functions like tangent (tan). Once you have the values for tan(1) and tan(0.5), you can substitute them into the respective equations to find the final values for h(1) and h(0.5).
