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%

A billboard designer has decided that a sign should have 4-ft margins at the top and bottom and 1-ft margins on the left and rig
givi [52]

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard is 9.655 ft.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given x is the left-right width of the billboard and y is the height of the billboard. Therefore,

The total area of the billboard, A= x·y

The total printed area of the billboard, A_p=(x-2)(y-8)

Given in problem that the area of the billboard is 3600 ft².

x·y = 3600

y = (3600)/x

Substituting the value of y in the equation of the total printed area of the billboard,

A_p = (x-2)(\dfrac{3600}{x}-8)\\\\A_p = 3600 -8x -\dfrac{7200}{x} + 16\\\\A_p =3616-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x}

Now, the value of x is needed to be minimum, therefore, differentiating the given function,

\dfrac{d}{dx}A_p =\dfrac{d}{dx}3616-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x}\\\\\dfrac{d}{dx}A_p =-8 - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}

Equate the differentiated function with 0,

0=-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}\\\\8x = - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}\\\\x^3 = 900\\\\x = 9.655 ft.

Hence, the value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard is 9.655 ft.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

1st option

Step-by-step explanation:

4 \frac{1}{3} ÷ 2 \frac{3}{5} ( change mixed numbers into improper fractions )

= \frac{13}{3} ÷ \frac{13}{5}

To perform the division

leave 1st fraction, change ÷ to × , turn 2nd fraction ' upside down'

= \frac{13}{3} × \frac{5}{13}
