The volume v of a cylinder is computed using the values 2.2 m for diameter and 6.8 m for height. use the linear approximation to

estimate the maximum error in v if each of these values has a possible error of at most 5% (use decimal notation. give your answer to three decimal places.)

A linear approximation to the error in volume can be written as

... ∆V = (∂V/∂d)·∆d + (∂V/∂h)·∆h

For V=(π/4)·d²·h, this is

... ∆V = 2·(π/4)·d·h·∆d + (π/4)·d²·∆h

Using ∆d = 0.05d and ∆h = 0.05h, this becomes

... ∆V = (π/4)·d²·h·(2·0.05 + 0.05) = 0.15·V

The nominal volume is

... V = (π/4)·d²·h = (π/4)·(2.2 m)²·(6.8 m) = 25.849 m³

Then the maximum error in volume is

... 0.15V = 0.15·25.849 m³ ≈ 3.877 m³

_____

Essentially, the error percentage is multiplied by the exponent of the associated variable. Then these products are added to get the maximum error percentage.

Which of the following is equivalent to the expression below for x≠6?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The fourth answer choice is the correct one:  2(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²-18x+36/x-6 should be factored, as follows:

2(x²-9x+18) / (x-6) = 2(x - 3) (x - 6) / (x - 6)

Substituting x = 6 would result in division by zero and is thus not allowed.

Remembering this, we can reduce 2(x - 3) (x - 6) / (x - 6) to 2(x - 3) for x≠6.

It takes21 minutes for 5 people to paint 7walls. How many minutes does it take 3people to paint 5 walls?
scoray [572]

so 5 people work each one for 21 minutes, that means 21+21+21+21+21 minutes altogether, namely 105 minutes, it took that long for 7 walls, hmmmm how long for just one wall then? well, 105 ÷ 7, namely 15 minutes then, for just 1 wall.


now, if it takes 15 minutes of work to do one wall, what about 5 walls? well, that'd be 15*5 or 75 minutes.


so if we have 3 folks working, how much would each one work? well, 75 ÷ 3, namely 25 minutes, so each of them will work 25 minutes, namely 25+25+25 minutes, so in 25 minutes, they'll be done with 5 walls.

The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as "pi" (/paɪ/

What is the square root of 16x^<br> 36?
Vsevolod [243]

Note that \sqrt[2]{x}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}

\sqrt[2]{16x^{36}}=\sqrt[2]{4^2x^{18\cdot2}}

4^{2\cdot\frac{1}{2}}x^{18\cdot2\cdot\frac{1}{2}}=4^{\frac{2}{2}}x^{\frac{18\cdot2}{2}}

\boxed{4x^{18}}

Hope this helps.

Can somebody help me with this problem
soldier1979 [14.2K]
115 degrees because there are 180 degrees in a triangle so let the missing angle in the trinagle be x. Then we have x+75+40=180. Solving for x and subtracting that from 180 (supplementary angles) we get 115 degrees.
