Answer:

0.012

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear approximation says that,

f(x) \approx f(x_o)+f'(x_o)(x-x_o)

For a cube the surface area is 6x^2.

So the side is 1.0 inch in, the surface area is =6\times1^2 = 6 square inches.  

In Linear approximation means you ignore the term x_o^2 , if x_o is a small number, because then x_o^2 will be a very smalle number and that does not contribute much to the error.  

So the surface area is approximately,

6x^2=6x_o^2+12x_o(x-x_o)

So here, x=1.001, x_o=0.001

The error in the area is approximately,

12 \times 0.001=0.012

So the error is 0.012.

frez [133]
We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
8² + 12² = c² 
64 + 144 = c²
c = √208 ≈ 14.42
14.42 - 12 = 2.42 in
The direct distance between the lizard and the cactus is 2.42 inches.

Question 19 (5 points) ✔ Saved

The order of temperature values become -16.7°C > -11.15°C > -7°C > 3°C And -16.7°C is the coolest temperature and 3°C is the warmest as compare to others.

According to the statement

we have given that the some values of the temperatures and we have to write it in the order from the coolest to the warmest means in increasing order.

So, For this purpose,

The given values of temperatures are:

3°C , -7°C , 2°F, 262 K

Firstly convert into one form

So, convert all values in Celsius form,

3°C = 3°C

-7°C = -7°C

2°F = -16.7°C

262 K = -11.15°C

Now arrange into the order from coolest to warmest

So, it will become

-16.7°C > -11.15°C > -7°C > 3°C

So, -16.7°C is the coolest temperature and 3°C is the warmest as compare to others.

The order of temperature values become -16.7°C > -11.15°C > -7°C > 3°C And -16.7°C is the coolest temperature and 3°C is the warmest as compare to others.
