Which mark on the tape measure is closest to 2.23607 inches?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  5.7 cm or 2 1/4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Your tape measure is not shown.

  On my tape measure, 5.7 cm is the closest mark. On the inch scale, 2 1/4 inches is the next-closest mark.

_____

On a tape measure graduated in 1/32 inch between 2 and 3 inches, you can find the closest mark by rounding to the nearest 32nd:

  2.23607 × 32 ≈ 71.55 ≈ 72 --- 32nds of an inch

  72/32 = 2 1/4 . . . . the closest mark on an inch ruler graduated in 32nds

__

For a ruler graduated in millimeters, you can find the closest millimeter in the same way. There are 25.4 mm to the inch.

  2.23607 in × 25.4 mm/in ≈ 56.80 mm ≈ 57 mm

  57 mm = 5.7 cm . . . closest mark on metric scale

__

When we check the error, we find the metric mark is closer than the inch mark.

  5.7 cm ≈ 2.24409 in . . . . error of 0.00802 in

  2 1/2 in = 2.25000 in . . . error of 0.01393 in

Which equation is satisfied by all of the plotted points?
Brums [2.3K]
The equation that is satisfied by all of the plotted points would be F. 3x because the y-intercept is at 0 so there wouldn't be one and the graph has a ratio of 3/1 so for every 3 numbers the line moves up it moves 1 space to the right, also indicating that it is positive.

The graph of y = |2 is shifted to the left by 6 units.<br> What is the equation of the new graph?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

From your question, I am assuming you are talking about an absolute value graph. In this case the answer would be y = |2 + 6|

Step-by-step explanation: Always remember, when you are graphing absolute value graphs:

When you shift left or right, you put the amount you are shifting inside the absolute value sign.

When you are shifting up or down, you put the amount you are shifting outside the absolute value sign.

When shifting left on a graph, you usually think of subtraction. However, when dealing with absolute value graphs, when you are shifting left, you use addition, as you can see in this problem.

The same goes for right. You use subtraction when shifting right, contrary to what you may think.

However, when you go up, you still use addition, and when you shift down, you still use subtraction.

Rewrite the square-root expression as an imaginary number: sqrt of -64<br><br> is it 8i?
IceJOKER [234]
The answer is 8i.

i = √(-1)

√(-64) = √((-1) * 64)
           = √(-1) * √64
           = i * √8²
           = i * 8
           = 8i
