Glad you asked this question! Over the years of working with my professor we learned that if phs= 5 (constant) times the j to the power of 2 you will get the formula or polynomialic equation. It quite fascinating and due to using his equation the answer in fact is "c". Cheers
First you take a protractor and a pencil
next, you draw a horizontal line (red)
then find the value of the angle, and draw a line with the matched value (green)
please look at the image
2 bags
7 apples
A) Instead of a lets say:
a = 1, 2 , 3
If a =1 then, (you already know there are 2 bags) you have 1 apple in each bag, making total of 2 apples
If a =2 then you are having 2 apples in each bag making total of 4 apples
If a =3, 3 apples in each bag, making total of 6 apples
Conclusion:
2 * 1 = 2
2 * 2 = 4
2 * 3 = 6
See the difference & pattern here
Now lets do with a
2 * a = 2a
B) If a = 6
then, 2*6 = 12
lets continue from a =3
2*4=8
2*5=10
2*6=12
See the pattern again
Tip: Drawing making problem understand better.
Absolute error is actual- estimate=33.4-35=-1.6 that in percent can be found using a rule of three, we say that 33.4 is the 100% and we find the % for -1.6
33.4ml -------- 100%
-1.8ml-----------x
x=(-1.8)(100)/33.4
x=-5.4
the percentage error is -5.4%
