<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

lidiya [134]

Answer:

<u>All the four statements are true , which are -</u>

(A) The subset contains contains of all the outfits that have grey slacks .

(B)  The subset contains contains of all the outfits that have grey slacks and red tie .

(C) The subset contains contains of all the outfits that have grey slacks and blue shirt .

(D)  The subset contains contains of all the outfits that do not have black slacks .

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We are given with Outfit 2 , 4 and 6</u>

Outfit 2 -   Blue     grey     red

Outfit 4 -   White    grey     red

Outfit 6   - Black     grey    red

(A) Since only 2,4, and 6 contain grey slacks, and no other outfit contains grey slacks, those are the subsets that contain grey slacks. Thus , this statement is true .

(B) Just outfits 2, 4, and 6 have grey slacks and a red tie, proving the statement. Other clothes do not include grey slacks and a red tie; they may include a red tie but not both grey slacks and a red tie. Hence , the statement is true .

(C) Since the outfit 2 has grey slacks and a blue shirt, the statement is correct; no other outfit has both grey slacks and a blue shirt. Therefore , this statement is also correct .

(D) The argument is correct since all of the subsets contain grey slacks and no black slacks.

Hence , all the options A , B , C , D are correct and describes the subset .

sweet [91]

Answer:

a = -7 and b = 1.  The constant term is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In standard form, this equation is -7x^2 + x + 4 = 0

The coefficients are a = -7 and b = 1.  The constant term is 4.

How do you graph the quadratic
iragen [17]
To factor this quadratic function, there are many ways that you can do this, the most common approach used to graph anything would be to make a table of values. Basically, make a chart with x coordinates on one side and y coordinates on the other side. Pick any values for your x coordinates and then find the correct y coordinate that results when you place that specific x coordinate into the function. After getting many points, plot those points on the grid and it should give you a parabola.


Another way to graph the function is to find the x intercepts, you can do this by setting the function to zero, and factoring the trinomial, using the appropriate method, then find the x intercepts


y = 2x^2 - 8x + 6

0 = (2x^2 - 6x - 2x + 6)

0 = 2x(x - 3) - 2(x - 3)

0 = (2x - 2)(x - 3).
