Answer:

1/4 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum error is half the "rounded to" value. Here, rounding is to 1/2 pound, so the maximum error is 1/4 pound.

Help please!!! Pre-calculus

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

P ( 3, - pi/3 + 2 pi n) or P ( -3 , -pi/3 + pi(2 n +1))

Step-by-step explanation:

P ( 3, - pi/3)

We can circle 2pi n around the circle and be back at the same polar coordinate

P ( 3, - pi/3 + 2 pi n)

or we can flip the radius to a negative and add pi to the theta

P ( -3, - pi/3 + pi)

Then we can circle 2pi n around the circle and be back at the same polar coordinate

P ( -3 , -pi/3 + 2 pi n +pi)

P ( -3 , -pi/3 + pi(2 n +1))

Given directed line segment AB determine point X on the graph such that X partions the segment A to B in a ratio of 1:4 and give

Viktor [21]

Answer:

The coordinates of point X that divides the line in 1:4 are: (3,8/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point divides a line with coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in ratio m:n,

the coordinates of point are given by:

$(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} , \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})$

Given points are:

(x1,y1) = (5,1)

(x2,y2) = (-5,4)

Putting the values in the formula

$X(x,y) = (\frac{(1)(-5)+(4)(5)}{1+4} , \frac{(1)(4)+(4)(1)}{1+4})\\= (\frac{-5+20}{5}, \frac{4+4}{5})\\=(\frac{15}{5}, \frac{8}{5})\\=(3,\frac{8}{5})$

Hence,

The coordinates of point X that divides the line in 1:4 are: (3,8/5)
