Let x be the number of racing bikes, and let y be the number of mountain bikes.
1) 140x + 110y = 26150
2) 180x + 120y = 31800
Solve for one of the variables and plug that in to the other equation:
From equation 1: 140x = 26150 - 110y
x = (26150-110y)/140
Plug this into equation 2:
180((26150-110y)/140) = 31800
Solve for y, and find that y = 85 (the number of mountain bikes).
Plug that y into either equation to find x:
140x + 110(85) = 26150
x = 120 (the number of racing bikes).
So the answer is: 120 racing bikes and 85 mountain bikes.

The side length of a square ice cube is claimed to be 1.0 inches, correct to within 0.001 inch. Use linear approximation to esti

Olenka [21]

Answer:

0.012

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear approximation says that,

$f(x) \approx f(x_o)+f'(x_o)(x-x_o)$

For a cube the surface area is $6x^2$ .

So the side is 1.0 inch in, the surface area is $=6\times1^2 = 6$ square inches.

In Linear approximation means you ignore the term $x_o^2$ , if $x_o$ is a small number, because then $x_o^2$ will be a very smalle number and that does not contribute much to the error.
