The length and width of a rectangle are measured as 27 cm and 50 cm, respectively, with an error in measurement of at most 0.1 c

m in each. Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle.

Answer:

7.7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is expressed as

A = Length × Width

A = LW

Let dL and dW be the errors in the measurements.

If there is an error of at most 0.1cm each in the measurement, then dL = dW = 0.1cm.

The area of the rectangle with error will be expressed as A = LdW + WdL

Given L = 27cm and W = 50cm

A = 27(0.1)+50(0.1)

A = 2.7+5.0

A = 7.7cm

Hence, the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is 7.7cm

Find the gcf of 8x and 22xy
Ksivusya [100]
The greatest common factor of 8x and 22yx is 2x.
I got this answer by factoring out 8 and 22:

8: 1,2,4,8
22: 1,2,11,22

Their greatest common factor was 2 and they both have x.

Your answer is 2x. 

Hope this helped! :)

Answer these true or false questions:
stepan [7]
Sometimes it helps to put a number line in front of you. If one number is to the left of the other number on the number line, it's a lower number. If one number is to the right of the other number on the number line, it is greater.

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

4 is a solution of x<-5
FALSE: 4 is not greater than -5


-3 is a solution of y>-2
FALSE: -3 is not greater than -2


y≤3 includes 3 as a possible solution
TRUE: 3 is less than OR EQUAL to 3


Hope this helps! :)

Question: The meaning of four consecutive even numbers is 15.
nasty-shy [4]
First, a bit of housekeeping:

<span>The meaning of four consecutive even numbers is 15.  Wouldn't that be "mean," not meaning?  Very different concepts!

The greatest of these numbers is _______ a^1

"a^1" means "a to the first power.  There are no powers in this problem statement.  Perhaps you meant just "a" or "a_1" or a(1).


The least of these numbers is ______a^2.
No powers in this problem statement.  Perhaps you meant a_2 or a(2)


In this problem you have four numbers.  All are even, and there's a spacing of 2 units between each pair of numbers (consecutive even).

The mean, or arithmetic average, of these numbers is (a+b+c+d) / 4, where a, b, c and d represent the four consecutive even numbers.  Here this mean is 15.  The mean is most likely positioned between b anc c.


So here's what we have:  a+b+c+d
                                         ------------- = 15
                                                 4

This is equivalent to a+b+c+d = 60.

Since the numbers a, b, c and d are consecutive even integers, let's try this:

a + (a+2) + (a+4) + (a+6) = 60.    Then 4a+2+4+6=60, or 4a = 48, or a=12.

Then a=12, b=14, c=16 and d=18.  Note how (12+14+16+18) / 4 = 15, which is the given mean.

We could also type, "a(1)=12, a(2)=14, a(3) = 16, and a(4) = 18.
