Answer:

Option D) a = 36, b = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that Hassan predicted that he would sell 178 postcards. He actually sold 142 postcards.

In the diagram above,

a = Error

b = Absolute Error

Error in mathematics is calculated as:

Approximately or Predicted value - Actual value

For Hassan,

His predicted value = 178

Actual value of postcards sold = 142

Error = 178 - 142 = 36

Likewise, the formula for Absolute error Absolute Error = |Actual Value - Measured or predicted Value|

It is important to noted that Absolute Error is always positive

Actual value = 142

Predicted value = 178

Absolute Error = |142 -178|

= |-36|

Absolute Error is 36

Therefore, Option D) a = 36, b = 36 is the correct option.

Which graph shows y=3⌈x⌉+1 ?
hram777 [196]

The graph located in the upper right corner of the image attached shows the graph of y = 3[x]+1.

In order to solve this problem we have to evaluate the function y = 3[x] + 1 with a group of values.

With x = { -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}:

x = -3

y = 3[-3] + 1 = -9 + 1

y = -8

x = -2

y = 3[-2] + 1 = -6 + 1

y = -5

x = -1

y = 3[-1] + 1 = -3 + 1

y = -2

x = 0

y = 3[0] + 1 = 0 + 1

y = 1

x = 1

y = 3[1] + 1 = 3 + 1

y = 4

x = 2

y = 3[2] + 1 = 6 + 1

y = 7

x = 3

y = 3[3] + 1 = 9 + 1

y = 10

 x     y

-3    -8

-2    -5

-1     -2

0      1

 1     4

 2    7

 3   10

The graph that shows the function y = 3[x] + 1 is  the one located in the upper right corner of the image attached.
