Steps in constructing a circumscribed circle on a triangle using a just a compass and a straight edge.
1) construct a perpendicular bisector of one side of ΔRST.
2) construct another perpendicular bisector of another side of ΔRST
3) the point where the two bisectors intersect will be the center of the circle.
4) place the compass on the center point, adjust its length to ensure that any corner of the triangle will be reached and draw the circumscribed circle.

A cyclist estimates that he will bike 80 miles this week. He actually bikes 75.5 miles. What is the percent error of the cyclist

maw [93]

Answer:

<em>The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

The cyclist estimates he will bike 80 miles this week, but he really bikes 75.5 miles.

The error of his estimate in miles can be calculated as the difference between his estimate and the real outcome:

Error = 80 miles - 75.5 miles = 4.5 miles

To calculate the error as a percent, we divide that quantity by the original estimate and multiply by 100%:

Error% = 4.5 / 80 * 100 = 5.625%

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Initial Amount=1

Decay Factor=0.99987

Decay Rate=0.013%

Step-by-step explanation:

If P = 0.99987ᵃ

I. Initial amount

The initial amount is when a=0

P = 0.99987⁰ = 1

The Pressure at Sea Level=1

II. Decay factor

This is like the decay constant. From the model, P = 0.99987ᵃ, the decay constant/factor is 0.99987.

III. Decay Rate = 1-0.99987 = 0.00013

Expressed in Percentage = 0.013%

A particle moves on the hyperbola xy=18 for time t≥0 seconds. At a certain instant, y=6 and dydt=8. What is x that this instant?

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The value of x at this instant is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x\cdot y = 18$ , we get an additional equation by implicit differentiation:

$x\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}+y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt} = 0$ (1)

From the first equation we find that:

$x = \frac{18}{y}$ (2)

By applying (2) in (1), we get the resulting expression:

$\frac{18}{y}\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}+y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt} = 0$ (3)

$y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{18}{y}\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -\frac{18}{y^{2}} \cdot \frac{dy}{dt}$

If we know that $y = 6$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = 8$ , then the first derivative of x in time is:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -\frac{18}{6^{2}} \cdot (8)$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -4$

From (1) we determine the value of x at this instant:

$x\cdot \frac{dy}{dt} = -y\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$

$x = -y\cdot \left(\frac{\frac{dx}{dt} }{\frac{dy}{dt} } \right)$

$x = -6\cdot \left(\frac{-4}{8} \right)$

$x = 3$

The value of x at this instant is 3.
