Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8+1/4=1/8+2/8=3/8
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
AC=AB+BC
so 16=x+1+x+7
which simplifies to 16=2x+8
subtract eight from both sides to get 8=2x
then divide by 2 to get that x=4
AB=x+1, which substitutes into 4+1=5
Answer:
3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
When we enlarge or shrink an object, we perform a dilation. A dilation preserves the relationship between sides and the exact angle measure. This means the original and the enlargement are proportional and any missing lengths can be found through a proportion.
A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare height over length of the original rectangle to an equal ratio of height to length of the enlargement. Since we do not know height of the enlargement, we will use a variable to write:
I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.
I now solve for h by dividing by 9.
The new height is 3 cm.
Consider the function

, which has derivative

.
The linear approximation of

for some value

within a neighborhood of

is given by

Let

. Then

can be estimated to be

![\sqrt[3]{63.97}\approx4-\dfrac{0.03}{48}=3.999375](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B63.97%7D%5Capprox4-%5Cdfrac%7B0.03%7D%7B48%7D%3D3.999375)
Since

for

, it follows that

must be strictly increasing over that part of its domain, which means the linear approximation lies strictly above the function

. This means the estimated value is an overestimation.
Indeed, the actual value is closer to the number 3.999374902...
