Answer:

6/5 is the reciprocal of 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is its multiplicative inverse. That is, the product of the number and its reciprocal is 1, the multiplicative identity element.

For a fraction, the reciprocal is the fraction with numerator and denominator interchanged. That is, the reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.

You can check that this is the multiplicative inverse by multiplying it by 5/6:

5/6 × 6/5 = (5×6)/(6×5) = 30/30 = 1 . . . . the multiplicative identity element

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 82 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

A) Maximum error = 170.32 cm³

B)Relative error = 0.0575

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Formula for circumference is: C = 2πr

Differentiating with respect to r, we have;

dC/dr = 2π

r is small, so we can write;

ΔC/Δr = 2π

So, Δr = ΔC/2π

We are told that ΔC = 0.5.

Thus; Δr = 0.5/2π = 0.25/π

Now, formula for Volume of a sphere is;

V(r) = (4/3)πr³

Differentiating with respect to r, we have;

dV/dr = 4πr²

Again, r is small, so we can write;

ΔS/Δr = 4πr²

ΔV = 4πr² × Δr

Rewriting, we have;

ΔV = ((2πr)²/π) × Δr

Since C = 2πr, we now have;

ΔV = (C²/π)Δr

ΔV will be maximum when Δr is maximum

Thus, ΔV = (C²/π) × 0.25/π

C = 82 cm

Thus;

ΔV = (82²/π) × 0.25/π

ΔV = 170.32 cm³

B) Formula for relative error = ΔV/V

Relative error = 170.32/((4/3)πr³)

Relative error = 170.32/((4/3)C³/8π³)

Relative errror = 170.32/((4/3)82³/8π³)

Relative error = 170.32/2963.744

Relative error = 0.0575

Give the intervals where f(x) is concave up. (enter your answer using interval notation. if an answer does not exist, enter dn

Kipish [7]

Concave up is U-shaped.
There will be a inflection/critical point f'(x) =0 then a negative slope f'(x) = neg then another inflection/critical point f'(x) =0 at the bottom of the U-shape then a positive slope to last inflection/critical point. The interval for the Concave Up shape is the first and last inflection points.

Find the two intersection points

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Our two intersection points are:

$\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find where the two graphs given by the equations:

$\displaystyle (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 = 16\text{ and } 3x+4y=1$

Intersect.

When they intersect, their x- and y-values are equivalent. So, we can solve one equation for y and substitute it into the other and solve for x.

Since the linear equation is easier to solve, solve it for y:

$\displaystyle y = -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{1}{4}$

Substitute this into the first equation:

$\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(\left(-\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}\right) +2\right)^2 = 16$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(-\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{9}{4}\right)^2 = 16$

Square. We can use the perfect square trinomial pattern:

$\displaystyle \underbrace{(x^2 + 2x+1)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} + \underbrace{\left(\frac{9}{16}x^2-\frac{27}{8}x+\frac{81}{16}\right)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} = 16$
