Answer:

14.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

$D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (1.5,7)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (-2.3,-8)$

Replacing these values in the distance formula

$D =\sqrt{(7-(-8))^2+(1.5-(-2.3))^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(7+8)^2+(1.5+2.3)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(15)^2+(3.8)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{225+14.44}$

$D =\sqrt{239.44}$

$D= 15.47$

Hence the distance is 14.47 units

Find the value of x such that the data set has a mean of 103.<br><br> 99,122,103,113,109,x

Mashcka [7]

That means the average of all data point equal:

(99+122+103+113+109+x)/6 = 103
===> (546+x)/6 = 103===> 546+x=618 & x=618-546=72, so x =72

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 80 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm. A) Use differentials to estimate the max

siniylev [52]

Answer:

A) The maximum error in the calculated surface area: $25cm^2$

Relative error: $0.013$

B) The maximum error in the calculated volume: $162cm^2$

Relative error: $0.019$

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The formula for the surface area is:

$A=4\pi r^2$

The measured value is the circumference which is equal to:

$C=2\pi r$

then the radius is:

$r=\frac{C}{2\pi}$

Substituting in the formula of the surface:

$A=4\pi(\frac{C}{2\pi})^2\\A=4\pi(\frac{C^2}{4\pi^2})\\A=\frac{C^2}{\pi}$

Using the formula to calculate the error:

$dy=f'(x)dx$

Where $x$ is the variable measured and $y$ is a function of $x$ ( $y=f(x)$ ).

$dA=f'(C)dC\\dA=\frac{2C^{(2-1)}}{\pi}dC\\dA=\frac{2C}{\pi}dC$

We have C=80cm and dC=0.5cm

$dA=\frac{2C}{\pi}dC\\dA=\frac{2(80)}{\pi}(0.5)\\dA=\frac{160}{\pi}(0.5)\\dA=50.9296(0.5)\\dA=25.4648\approx25cm^2$

The relative error is the maximum error divide by the total area. The total area is: $A=\frac{C^2}{\pi}=\frac{(80)^2}{\pi}=\frac{6400}{\pi}=2037.1833cm^2$

$\frac{dA}{A}=\frac{25.4648}{2037.1833} =0.0125\approx0.013$

B) The formula for the volume is:

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

Using $r=\frac{C}{2\pi}$

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{C}{2\pi})^3\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{C^3}{8\pi^3})\\V=\frac{1}{3}(\frac{C^3}{2\pi^2})\\V=\frac{C^3}{6\pi^2}$

The maximum error is:

$dV=\frac{3C^{3-1}}{6\pi^2}dC\\dV=\frac{C^{2}}{2\pi^2}dC\\dV=\frac{(80)^{2}}{2\pi^2}(0.5)\\dV=\frac{6400}{2\pi^2}(0.5)\\dV=\frac{6400}{2\pi^2}(0.5)\\dV=(324.2278)(0.5)\\dV=162.1139\approx162cm^2$
