Answer: 6.68km/litre

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance(d) = 187km ( to 3 significant figures)

Petrol(p) = 28litres ( to 2 significant figures)

A number, x, rounded to 1 significant figure is 200

Write down the error interval for x

Calculating the lower and upper bound for both 'd' and 'p'

Upper bound 'd' = 187.5km

Lower bound 'd' = 186.5km

Upper bound 'p' = 28.5km

Lower bound 'p' = 27.5km

Therefore,

Petrol consumption (C) = d/p

Upper C = 187.5 / 28.5 = 6.57894

Lower C = 186.5 / 27.5 = 6.781818

Accuracy answer for C = (6.57894 + 6.781818) / 2 = 6.680379

= 6.68km/ litre ( to 3 significant figures)

To achieve a reasonable level of accuracy, the upper and lower bounds of P and D was used to calculate C, which was then averaged.

Using 3 significant figures ensure that we capture the C better, instead of early rounding.

Can someone help me out ? Don't just guess the answer :(
Monica [59]
1) 2m+6 / m² + 7m - 12  +  (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2(m+3) / (m+4)(m+3)  + (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2/(m+4) + (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2+m+2 / (m+4)

= m+4 / m+4

= 1  [ Option A ]

Answer 2) 3/ (x+4)  + 7/ (x-3)

=  3(x-3) + 7(x+4)/ (x² +x - 12)

= 3x-9 + 7x + 28 / (x² +x - 12)

= 10x + 19 / (x² +x - 12)  [ Option A ]

Hope this helps!
