In high school, some students have been confused to believe that 22/7 is already the actual value of π or an acceptable approxim

Answer:

Since it has smaller absolute and relative errors, 355/113 is a better aproximation for \pi than 22/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the absolute error is:

Absolute error = |Actual Value - Measured Value|

The formula for the relative error is:

Relative error = |Absolute error/Actual value|

I am going to consider the actual value of \pi as 3.14159265359.

In the case of 22/7:

22/7 = 3.14285714286.

Absolute error = |3.14159265359 - 3.14285714286| = 0.00126448927

Relative error = 0.00126448927/3.14159265359 = 0.00040249943 = 0.04%

In the case of 355/113

355/113 = 3.14159292035

Absolute error = |3.14159265359 - 3.14159292035| = 0.00000026676

Relative error = 0.00000026676/3.14159265359 = 0.000000085 = 0.0000085%

Since it has smaller absolute and relative errors, 355/113 is a better aproximation for \pi than 22/7

Alborosie

Following are the calculation to<u> find the value of x</u>:

Given:

\to 4(6x-9. 5)=46\\

To find:

x=?

Solution:

\to 4(6x-9. 5)=46\\\\\to 24x- 38.0=46\\\\\to 24x =46-38\\\\\to 24x= 8\\\\\to x= \frac{8}{24}\\\\\to x= \frac{1}{3}\\\\

Therefore, the final answer is "\bold{\frac{1}{3}}".

“ write the equation of the line that goes through the point (6,3) and is parallel to y=-2/3x+5 “ ????
brilliants [131]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{2}{3}

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (6, 3) into the partial equation

3 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 4 = 7

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 7 ← equation of line
