Answer:

0.05 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The least-significant digit in the given measurement is the one in the 0.1 cm number place. The "greatest possible error" is half the value of that number place, so is ...

(0.1 cm)/2 = 0.05 cm . . . . "greatest possible error"

_____

For questions of this sort, we make the (not always practical) assumption that the measurement is rounded perfectly to the nearest 0.1 cm.

Describe the behavior of the function ppp around its vertical asymptote at x=-2x=−2x, equals, minus, 2.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$ -- Missing from the question

Required

The behavior of the function around its vertical asymptote at $x = -2$

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$

Expand the numerator

$p(x) = \frac{x^2 + x -3x - 3}{x+2}$

Factorize

$p(x) = \frac{x(x + 1) -3(x + 1)}{x+2}$

Factor out x + 1

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

We test the function using values close to -2 (one value will be less than -2 while the other will be greater than -2)

We are only interested in the sign of the result

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As x approaches -2 implies that:

$x -> -2^{-}$ Say x = -3

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

$p(-3) = \frac{(-3-3)(-3+1)}{-3+2} = \frac{-6 * -2}{-1} = \frac{+12}{-1} = -12$

We have a negative value (-12); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x approaches -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$

Take note of the superscript of 2 (this implies that, we approach 2 from a value less than 2)

As x leaves -2 implies that: $x>-2$

Say x = -2.1

$p(-2.1) = \frac{(-2.1-3)(-2.1+1)}{-2.1+2} = \frac{-5.1 * -1.1}{-0.1} = \frac{+5.61}{-0.1} = -56.1$

We have a negative value (-56.1); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x leaves -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

So, the behavior is:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

How does a fraction model help you

Answer:

Fraction models can help clarify ideas that are often confused in a purely symbolic mode and construct mental terms that help them to perform fraction tasks meaningfully.

Which shows the given inequalities in slope-intercept form?

yanalaym [24]

Answer: Solve for X

4x−5y<1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 add 5y to each side

4x−5y+5y<1+5y

4x<5y+1

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

4x4<5y+14

x<54y+14

Answer:

x<54y+14

Let's solve for x.

12y−x<3

Step 1: Add (-1)/2y to both sides.

−x+12y+−12y<3+−12y

−x<−12y+3

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

−x−1<−12y+3−1

x>12y−3

Answer:

x>12y−3

now just graph 4x-5y<1 shows the given inequalities in slope -intercep form.
