 why is 0.5%  not equal to 1/2?

It is not equal to 1/2 because .5% is indeed a percent, and therefore a fraction of 100. If you were to rewrite .5% as a fraction, you would write it as 5/100, which simplifies to 1/20, which is nowhere near 1/2. 50% or .5 would be equal to 1/2.

Ples help A square is a rectangle. always sometimes never
MakcuM [25]

By definition, a rectangle is:

Any four sided polygon (quadrilateral) that contains four right angles.

By extension, a square is:

Any rectangle where all sides are of the same, or equal, length.

<h3>So yes, a square is always a rectangle.</h3>

Use linear approximation to estimate f (2.85 )given that f (3 )equals 2 and f prime (3 )equals 5.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

f(3) = 2

f'(3) = 5.

We want to estimate f(2.85)

The linear approximation of "f" at "a" is one way of writing the equation of the tangent line at "a".

At x = a, y = f(a) and the slope of the tangent line is f'(a).

So, in point slope form, the tangent line has equation

y − f(a) = f'(a)(x − a)

The linearization solves for y by adding f(a) to both sides

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x − a).

Given that,

f(3) = 2,

f'(3) = 5

a = 3, we want to find f(2.85)

x = 2.85

Therefore,

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x − a)

f(2.85) = 2 + 5(2.85 - 3)

f(2.85) = 2 + 5×-0.15

f(2.85) = 2 - 0.75

f(2.85) = 1.25

Refer to the rectangle below. The length of the rectangle is x + 12. The width of the rectangle is x + 3.
Elis [28]

Answer:

x^2+15x+36

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is shown in the attachment.

The length of the rectangle is x + 12. The width of the rectangle is x + 3.

Recall that area of a rectangle is Length \times Width

In terms of x, the area is (x+12)(x+3)

Recall the distributive property of real numbers: (a+b)(c+d)=a(c+d)+b(c+d)

We apply this property to get:

(x+12)(x+3)=x(x+3)+12(x+3)

We expand again to get:

(x+12)(x+3)=x^2+3x+12x+36

We now simplify to obtain:

(x+12)(x+3)=x^2+15x+36

The area of the rectangle is x^2+15x+36
