Just plug in every value and see if it's a reasonable weight for a cell phone.

\sf 10^{-3}=0.001
\sf 10^{-1}=0.1
\sf 10^0=1
\sf 10^1=10

\sf 2.8\times 0.001=0.0028
\sf 2.8\times 0.1=0.28
\sf 2.8\times 1=2.8
\sf 2.8\times 10=28

So what is the most reasonable weight for a cell phone? 0.0028 pounds, 0.28 pounds, 2.8 pounds, or 28 pounds? I would definitely say 0.28 pounds.

The average cell phone weighs about 4 ounces, or 0.25 pounds... 0.28 is closest to this number.

2.8 * 10^-3 = 0.0028 - Much too light

2.8 * 10^-1 = 0.28 - Reasonable weight

2.8 * 10^0 = 2.8 - Too heavy

2.8 * 10^1 = Much too heavy

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

x=\pm \sqrt{11} \\y=-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

\left \{ {{3x^2+4y=17} \atop {2x^2+5y=2}} \right. \\\\Then\\\\\left \{ {{2 \times (3x^2+4y)=2 \times 17} \atop {3\times(2x^2+5y)=3\times2}} \right. \\\\\left \{ {{6x^2+8y=34 \quad (1)} \atop {6x^2+15y=6\quad (2)}} \right.\\\\(1)-(2) \Rightarrow -7y=28 \Rightarrow y =-4.\\Since \: \:  2x^2+5y=2 \Rightarrow 2x^2=2-5y\\\Rightarrow 2x^2=2+20=22\\\Rightarrow x^2=22:2=11\\\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{11}.

Can you guys teach me how to do this??
Vadim26 [7]

The usual margin of error we strive for is a 95% probability that our estimate is within the margin.   Assuming a normal distribution (and that we have a big enough sample not to worry about t tests) that corresponds to between minus and plus two standard deviations of the mean (remember the 68-95-99.7 rule).   So our margin of error is plus or minus two standard deviations.

Answer: ±2%
