Four students are asked to find the mass of a mineral using a calibrated balance. The results were as follows: 16.009 g, 15.780

g, 16.110 g, and 15.990 g. The known mass of the mineral is 16.100g. Which student's result was the most accurate?

Answer:

There are two results that could be consider the most accurate:

1. 16.110g

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the actual mass is 16.100g. The result above is within ±0.01. That is, the most accurate results should be within the range of ±0.01.

Hence;

The result that can be consider most accurate is:

=> 16.100±0.01 = [16.110]

All other results are at distance above ±0.01 from the actual values 16.100g

Wires are attached to a pole to make it more secure. The diagram shows one of those wires having a length of 220 feet. The angle
LuckyWell [14K]
The wire, the pole and the segment joining the leg of the pole to the wire in the ground form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the wire, and the side opposite to the angle 36° is the pole.

By right triangle trigonometry, sin36°=(opposite side)/(hypotenuse.)

Substituting, we have 0.588=(opposite side)/220, thus the length of the opposite side, which represents the length of the pole, is 

                                       0.588*220 ft=129.3 ft

Im confused..I feel as if what I’m learning in class itself is not as difficult as the problems my teacher gives us to take home
RideAnS [48]
Ok, so remember that the derivitive of the position function is the velocty function and the derivitive of the velocity function is the accceleration function

x(t) is the positon function
so just take the derivitive of 3t/π +cos(t) twice
first derivitive is 3/π-sin(t)
2nd derivitive is -cos(t)
a(t)=-cos(t)

on the interval [π/2,5π/2) where does -cos(t)=1? or where does cos(t)=-1?
at t=π
so now plug that in for t in the position function to find the position at time t=π
x(π)=3(π)/π+cos(π)
x(π)=3-1
x(π)=2
so the position is 2







ok, that graph is the first derivitive of f(x)
the function f(x) is increaseing when the slope is positive
it is concave up when the 2nd derivitive of f(x) is positive

we are given f'(x), the derivitive of f(x)
we want to find where it is increasing AND where it is concave down

it is increasing when the derivitive is positive, so just find where the graph is positive (that's about from -2 to 4)

it is concave down when the second derivitive (aka derivitive of the first derivitive aka slope of the first derivitive) is negative
where is the slope negative?
from about x=0 to x=2
and that's in our range of being increasing
so the interval is (0,2)

What are the x and y -intercepts for the equation 5x - 4y = 10
balu736 [363]

Answer:

x=2

y= -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x int

1.) set y to 0 (5x -4(0)=10

solve for 5x=10

y int

1.) set x to 0

solve for -4y=10

Please help me!! How do you solve 4x+8=2x+7+2x-20. Thank you
leonid [27]
4x + 8 = 2x + 7 + 2x - 20

4x + 8 = 4x - 13

8 = -13

no solution. 

hope that helps, God bless!
