Answer:

The point P that is closest to the point (74, 0) is P(7.4, 22.2), and the least distance between P and (74, 0) is 70.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 66x

And a point A(74, 0)

We are required to find the point on the line that is closest to A, and then find the distance between these points.

Let the point be P(s, t)

Because it's coordinate satisfies the given equation

y = 3x

Let t = 3s, then we have

p(s, t) = P(s, 3s)

Next, we find the distance between P and A

Let the distance be

D = √[(x1 - y1)² + (x2 - y2)²]

Here x1 = 74, x2 = 0, y1 = s, y2 = 3s.

D = √[(74 - s)² + (0 - 3s)²]

= √(s² - 148s + 5476 + 9s²)

= √(10s² - 148s + 5479)

To maximize the distance, we find the derivative of D with respect to s, and set it to 0.

That is dD/ds = 0

dD/ds =

(20s - 148)/2√(10s² - 148s 5479) = 0

=> 20s - 148 = 0

20s = 148

s = 148/20

s = 7.4

Since t = 3s, we have

t = 22.2

So, the point is P(7.4, 22.2)

Finally, we find the distance D.

D = √[(74 - s)² + (0 - 3s)²]

D = √[(74 - 7.4)² + (0 - 3×7.4)²]

D = √(4435.56 + 492.84)

= √4928.4

D = 70.2

Therefore, the distance is 70.2

The teacher asked 4 students to measure 4 different objects. The table shown represents their measurements. Which student had th
Maru [420]

Student 4 has the largest percent error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent error of a measurement is given by

p=\frac{|x-x_{true}|}{x_{true}}\cdot 100

where

x is the value of the measurement

x_{true} is the actual value

For student 1:

x=49\\x_{true}=50

Percent error:

p=\frac{|49-50|}{50}\cdot 100=0.02\cdot 100=2\%

For student 2:

x=25.5\\x_{true}=25

Percent error:

p=\frac{|25.5-25|}{25.5}\cdot 100=0.0196\cdot 100 = 1.96\%

For student 3:

x=7.5\\x_{true}=8

Percent error:

p=\frac{|7.5-8|}{8}\cdot 100=0.0625\cdot 100 = 6.25\%

For student 4:

x=2.1\\x_{true}=1.6

Percent error:

p=\frac{|2.1-1.6|}{1.6}\cdot 100=0.3125\cdot 100 = 31.25\%

So, student 4 has the largest percent error.
