Answer:

  a)  247.25 cm²

  b)  62.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these upper-bound/lower-bound problems are worked the same way. The bounds on the measurement are presumed to be half of one unit of the least-significant digit.

Here, the least significant digit of both numbers is in the "units" place, so the maximum error is presumed to be 1/2 unit, or ±0.5 cm.

If the measurement were 7.36 inches, the least significant digit is in the hundredths place, so the maximum error is presumed to be half a hundredth, or ±0.5 × 0.01 inches = ±0.005 inches.

__

To find the bounds on the measurement, you add or subtract this maximum error from the measurement. So, for the measurements in this problem, the maximum and minimum they can be are ...

  21 cm: minimum of 21 - 0.5 = 20.5 cm; maximum of 21 + 0.5 = 21.5 cm

  11 cm: minimum of 10.5 cm; maximum of 11.5 cm

If you wanted to express these as an inequality, you'd have to remember that half-units are rounded up, so the inequalities would be ...

  20.5 cm ≤ long side < 21.5 cm

  10.5 cm ≤ short side < 11.5 cm

__

a) The area is computed as the product of the rectangle's side length measurements. The area will be a maximum when both measurements are a maximum:

  Amax = (21.5 cm)(11.5 cm)

  Amax = 247.25 cm²

__

b) The perimeter is twice the sum of the lengths of two adjacent sides of the rectangle. The minimum perimeter will be the sum using the minimum side lengths, or ...

  Pmin = 2(20.5 cm +10.5 cm) = 2(31.0 cm)

  Pmin = 62.0 cm

<em>Comment on measurement bounds</em>

You have to remember that these concepts are mathematical in nature, so only an approximation of the real world. If you have ever used a tape measure to measure a distance of any length, you will have discovered a couple of things:

  • different tape measures are different lengths
  • the measurement you make depends on how tight you stretch the tape (and often, on temperature and/or humidity)
  • it is amazingly hard to choose the "nearest" measurement when the value is halfway between marks on the tape. (That is, there is some fuzziness in the boundary between nearest units.)

So, mathematically, there will be very specific definitions and procedures to follow regarding measurement values. In the real world, you have to remember these are only an approximation to reality, hopefully a useful one.

Halla la tasa de variación de cada funcion en el intervalo [-4,3] e indica si es positiva , negativa o nula A) f(x)=x2-2x+4 B) f

Answer:

A) \hspace{3}Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=-5\hspace{3}Negative\\\\B)\hspace{3}Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=-21\hspace{3}Negative  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x), we called the rate of change to the number that represents the increase or decrease that the function experiences when increasing the independent variable from one value "x_1" to another "x_2".

The rate of change of f(x) between x_1 and x_2 can be calculated as follows:

Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=f(x_2)-f(x_1)

For:

f(x)=x^2-2x+4

Let's find f(x_1) and f(x_2), where:

[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]

f(x_1)=f(-4)=(-4)^2-2(4)+4=16-8+4=12\\f(x_2)=f(3)=(3)^2-2(3)+4=9-6+4=7

So:

Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change =7-12=-5\hspace{3}Negative

And for:

f(x)-3x+2

Let's find f(x_1) and f(x_2), where:

[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]

f(x_1)=f(-4)=-3(-4)+2=12+2=14\\f(x_2)=f(3)=-3(3)+2=-9+2=-7

So:

Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change =-7-14=-21\hspace{3}Negative

<em>Translation:</em>

Dada una función f(x), llamábamos tasa de variación al número que representa el aumento o disminución que experimenta la función al aumentar la variable independiente de un valor "x_1" a otro "x_2".

La tasa de variación de f(x) entre x_1 y x_2, puede ser calculada de la siguiente forma:

Tasa\hspace{3}de\hspace{3}variacion=f(x_2)-f(x_1)

Para:

f(x)=x^2-2x+4

Encontremos f(x_1) y f(x_2), donde:

[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]

f(x_1)=f(-4)=-3(-4)+2=12+2=14\\f(x_2)=f(3)=-3(3)+2=-9+2=-7

Entonces:

Tasa\hspace{3}de\hspace{3}variacion =7-12=-5\hspace{3}Negativa

Y para:

f(x)-3x+2

Encontremos f(x_1) y f(x_2), donde:

[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]

f(x_1)=f(-4)=-3(-4)+2=12+2=14\\f(x_2)=f(3)=-3(3)+2=-9+2=-7

Entonces:

Tasa\hspace{3}de\hspace{3}variacion=-7-14=-21\hspace{3}Negativa

How long is a mac address? select one:
geniusboy [140]
Hey there!

A MAC, or Media Access Control, Address is a unique identifier that is assigned to devices connected to a network. It is 6-bytes, or 48-bits, in size. It follows the format MM:MM:MM:SS:SS:SS, where the first 3-bytes are the identification number of the manufacturer and the second 3-bytes are the serial number assigned by the manufacturer. 

Your answer will be D. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Simplify<br> Enter answer in box:
lesantik [10]

(3/5 + -1/4)/(7/10)

get a common denominator of 20

3/5 * 4/4 =12/20

-1/4 * 5/5 = -5/20

7/10 *2/2 = 17/20

replace

(12/20 - 5/20)/(14/20)

add the top

(7/20)/(14/20)

copy dot flip

7/20 * 20/14

7/14
