In woodshop class, you must cut several pieces of wood to within 3/16 inch of the teacher's specifications. Let (s-x) represent

the difference between the specification s and the measured length x of a cut piece.
(a)Write an absolute value inequality that describes the values of x that are within the specifications.

(b) The length of one piece of wood is specified to be s=5 1/8 inches. Describe the acceptable lengths for this piece.

Answer:

  (a) |s - x| ≤ 3/16

  (b) 4 15/16 ≤ x ≤ 5 5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The absolute value of the difference from spec must be no greater than than the allowed tolerance:

  |s - x| ≤ 3/16

__

(b) Put 5 1/8 for s in the above equation and solve.

  |5 1/8 - x| ≤ 3/16

  -3/16 ≤ 5 1/8 -x ≤ 3/16

  3/16 ≥ x -5 1/8 ≥ -3/16 . . . . multiply by -1 to get positive x

  5 5/16 ≥ x ≥ 4 15/16 . . . . . . add 5 1/8

Pieces may be between 4 15/16 and 5 5/16 inches in length.

The surface area of a sphere is given by

A=4πr^2

  = 4 * π * ( 6)^2

  = 4 * π *36

   144 π

Letting pi = 3.14

A is approximately 452.16 m^2

n = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em>Factor the </em><em>expression</em></h2>

<em>2n ^ 3 - 3n ^ 2 + 2n = 0</em>

<h2><em>Separate into possible cases</em></h2>

<em>n(2n ^ 2 - 3n + 2) = 0</em>

<h2><em>Solve the equation</em></h2>

<em>n = 0[tex]n = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: [tex]n = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: 2n ^ 2 - 3n + 2 = 0</em>

<h2><em>Find the union</em></h2>

<em>n = 0[tex]n = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: [tex]n = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: n =  R</em>
