What is the error due to using linear interpolation to estimate the value of sinxsin⁡x at x = \pi/3? your answer should have at

least three significant figures, accurate to within 0.1%. (e.g., 1.23 and 3.33e-8 both have three significant figures.)?

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • using y = x, the error is about 0.1812
  • using y = (x -π/4 +1)/√2, the error is about 0.02620
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The actual value of sin(π/3) is (√3)/2 ≈ 0.86602540.

If the sine function is approximated by y=x (no error at x = 0), then the error at x=π/3 is ...

... x -sin(x) @ x=π/3

... π/3 -(√3)/2 ≈ 0.18117215 ≈ 0.1812

You know right away this is a bad approximation, because the approximate value is π/3 ≈ 1.04719755, a value greater than 1. The range of the sine function is [-1, 1] so there will be no values greater than 1.

___

If the sine function is approximated by y=(x+1-π/4)/√2 (no error at x=π/4), then the error at x=π/3 is ...

... (x+1-π/4)/√2 -sin(x) @ x=π/3

... (π/12 +1)/√2 -(√3)/2 ≈ 0.026201500 ≈ 0.02620

At the park, 4/7 of the children are boys. if there are 8 boys at the park, how many are girls?
Oksana_A [137]
There are 4/7 boys, so there are 3/7 girls.

Let the total number of children be x.

4/7x = 8
1/7x = 8 ÷ 4
1/7x = 2
3/7x = 2 x 3
3/7x = 6

There are 6 girls.

Wyatt solved the following equation:
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 1/2 (6x - 4) = 6

Expand the brackets.

x + 3x - 2 = 6

Add like terms.

4x - 2 = 6

Add 2 on both sides.

4x = 6 + 2

4x = 8

Divide 4 into both sides.

x = 8/4

x = 2
