Answer:

(a) 2.81%

(b) 0.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information from the statement:

P = 64 + - 0.9

(a) We know that the perimeter is:

P = 2 * pi * r

if we solve for r, we have to:

r = P / 2 * pi

We have that the formula of the area is:

A = pi * r ^ 2

we replace r and we are left with:

A = pi * (P / 2 * pi) ^ 2

A = (P ^ 2) / (4 * pi)

We derive with respect to P, and we are left with:

dA = 2 * P / 4 * pi * dP

We know that P = 64 and dP = 0.9, we replace:

dA = 2 * 64/4 * 3.14 * 0.9

dA = 9.17

The error would come being:

dA / A = 9.17 / (64 ^ 2/4 * 3.14) = 0.02811

In other words, the error would be 2.81%

(b) tell us that dA / A <= 0.01

we replace:

[P * dP / 2 * pi] / [P ^ 2/4 * pi] <= 0.01

solving we have:

2 * dP / P <= 0.01

dP / P <= 0.01 / 2

dP / P <= 0.005

Which means that the answer is 0.5%

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line. F(–2, 0);

UNO [17]

The line is called the directrix. Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.

Geometry is best done with squared distances. The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is $(x-2)^2.$

We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0):

$(x-2)^2 = (x - -2)^2 + (y - 0)^2$

$x^2 -4x + 4=x^2 +4x +4 + y^2$

$-8x = y^2$

We could call that done. A more standard form might be

$x =- \dfrac 1 8 \ y^2$

What is one quarter of 5 hours

vitfil [10]

Answer:

15 minutes

There are 20 quarter hours in 5 hours. This is solved by first breaking down an hour into quarters. A quarter is 1/4 of an hour, or 15 minutes.

pH measurements of a chemical solutions have mean 6.8 with standard deviation 0.02. Assuming all pH measurements of this solutio

aalyn [17]

Answer: 2.14 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : pH measurements of a chemical solutions have

Mean : $\mu=6.8$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=0.02$

Let X be the pH reading of a randomly selected customer chemical solution.

We assume pH measurements of this solution have a nearly symmetric/bell-curve distribution (i.e. normal distribution).

The z-score for the normal distribution is given by :-

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x = 6.74

$z=\dfrac{6.74-6.8}{0.02}=-3$

For x = 6.76

$z=\dfrac{6.76-6.8}{0.02}=-2$

The p-value = $P(6.74$

$P(z$

In percent, $0.0214\times=2.14\%$

Hence, the percent of pH measurements reading below 6.74 OR above 6.76 = 2.14%

A group of college students are going to a lake house for the weekend and plan on renting small cars and large cars to make the

dangina [55]

The system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small cars rented and the number of large cars rented is;

x + y = 10

x + y = 105x + 7y = 66

<h3>Simultaneous equation</h3>

Small car = 5 people
Large car = 7 people
Total cars = 10
Total number of people = 66

Let

Number of small cars rented = x

Number of large cars rented = y

x + y = 10

x + y = 105x + 7y = 66
