Answer:

The cost of the sweater before the markup is $24.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent markup of an item is calculated by subtracting the original cost of the item from the sale price and then dividing by the original cost.  In this case, we are trying to find the original cost, so we know that the percent markup is 40%, or 0.4.  Since the sale price of the item would be 100% of the original cost multiplied by an additional 40% markup, we can take the sale price of the item divided by 140%, or 1.4:  34.30/1.4 = 24.50.

A. Evaluate the polynomial
sdas [7]

Answer:

a) y = x³− 5x² + 6x + 0.55 at x = 1.37.

Use 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error.

-1.183%

b. Express y as y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55 (this is the same equation). Use again 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error and compare with part (a). Make the conclusion about which form of the polynomial is superior.

-0.161%

Comparing part a and b together, part b is more superior because the percent(%) error is smaller when compared to part a

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y = x³− 5x² + 6x + 0.55 at x = 1.37.

Use 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error.

Let's evaluate before applying the 3 digit arithmetic chopping rule

y = 1.37³ - 5 × 1.37² + 6 × 1.37 + 0.55

y = 1.956853

Let evaluate each components of the polynomial one by one

Note that: 3-digit arithmetic chopping means to approximate chop off or remove number after the 3 significant figures.

y = x³− 5x² + 6x + 0.55 at x = 1.37.

x³ = 1.37³ = 2.571353

≈ 2.57

x² = 1.37² = 1.8769

≈ 1.88

5x² = 1.87 × 5

= 9.35

x = 1.37

6x = 1.37 × 6

6x = 8.22

Evaluating the polynomial

y = 2.57 - 9.38 + 8.22 + 0.55

y = 1.98

The percent relative round-off error =

1.956853 - 1.98/1.956853 × 100

= -1.183%

b. Express y as y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55 (this is the same equation). Use again 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error and compare with part (a). Make the conclusion about which form of the polynomial is superior.

y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55

Evaluating with the 3 digit chop off rule is applied

= ((1.37 - 5)1.37 + 6)1.37 + 0.55

=( 1.8769 - 6.85) + 6) 1.37 + 0.55

= (- 4.9731 + 6 )1.37 + 0.55

= 1.0269 × 1.37 + 0.55

= 1.406853

= 1.956853.

≈ 1.96

Note in: evaluating before applying the 3 digit arithmetic chopping rule

y = 1.37³ - 5 × 1.37² + 6 × 1.37 + 0.55

y = 1.956853

The percent relative round-off error

1.956853 - 1.96/1.956853 × 100

= -0.161%

Comparing part a and b together, part b is more superior because the percent(%) error is smaller when compared to part a
