Suppose I measure the length and width of a rectangle, and get L = 4 +/- 1 m and W = 10 +/- 2m. What is the uncertainty (not fra

ctional uncertainty!) in the area of the rectangle? (recall A = LW)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

fractional uncertainty, to quantify the precision of a measurement for L and W is

ΔL/L = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%

ΔW/W = 2/10 = 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%

Now the area of triangle A = L*W = 4*10 = 40m^2

The rules for propagation of error state that when two quantities are multiplied, their fractional uncertainties are added:

So,

ΔA/A = ΔL/L + ΔW/W = 0.25+0.4 = 0.65 =65%

Now we can compute uncertainty in the area, which is

ΔA = A * (ΔA/A) = 40*0.65 = 26%

Finally, we can write the area of the rectangle together with its uncertainty:

A = 40m^2 ± 26%

PLEASE HELP!!! Jeanie is 21 years old. She opens an account that pays 3.9% interest compounded monthly. She
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$11,170

Step-by-step explanation:

First you convert the percentage to decimal form out of 100 (which you divide)

3.9%/100 =  0.039

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 10000(1 + 0.039 * 3)     ( * = multiplication)

I = $11,170 - 10,000 = $1,170

Which you should get $1,170.00 or $1,170 (which is pretty much the same thing)

Hope this helps!
