To round to 3 sign. fig. you have to look at your fourth figure, is it between 0-4? If yes, then it´s should be rounded down. Is it between 5-9? If no, then it´s should be rounded up.
Now, in this case the fourth figure is 4, meaning it should be rounded down..
198 is therefore your answer:D
Have a nice day

To round to any amount of significant figures, you want to count how many numbers there are, and take into account the amount of significant figures. In this case it would be 198, because you wouldn't round the number. In future reference, if a zero is after a decimal (198.0) the zero is considered a significant number. If the zero is sandwiched between two numbers (101) it is significant. You can always use expanded notation if the number is too big to round (1570000 rounded to 3 significant figures would be 1.57x10^6) expanded notation is a bit tricky and you can definitely find some helpful YouTube videos that will go more into depth. I hope this was helpful!

John goes to a bookstore. he wants to buy at. most 25 books and spend at most $75. paperback books cost 1.75 and har cover books

Yanka [14]

Answer:

x + y ≤ 25
1.75x + 2.50y ≤ 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Paperback books = x
Hard cover books = y

<u>Number of books:</u>

x + y ≤ 25

<u>Cost of books:</u>

1.75x + 2.50y ≤ 75

The system above is the one we need

A rectangular storage container with a lid is to have a volume of 2 m3. The length of its base is twice the width. Material for

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Dimensions are 2 m by 1 meter by 1 meter,

Minimum cost is $ 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width ( in meters ) of the container,

Since, the length is twice of the width,

So, length of the container = 2w,

Now, if h be the height of the container,

Volume = length × width × height

2 = 2w × w × h

1 = w² × h

$\implies h=\frac{1}{w^2}$

Since, the area of the base = l × w = 2w × w = 2w²,

Area of the lid = l × w = 2w²,

While the area of the sides = 2hw + 2hl

= 2h( w + l)

$= 2\times \frac{1}{w^2}(w+2w)$

$=\frac{6w}{w^2}$

$=\frac{6}{w}$

Since, Material for the base costs $1 per m². Material for the sides and lid costs $2 per m²,

So, the total cost,

$C(w) = 1\times 2w^2+2\times 2w^2 + 2\times \frac{6}{w}$

$=2w^2+4w^2+\frac{12}{w}$

$=6w^2+\frac{12}{w}$

Differentiating with respect to w,

$C'(w) = 12w -\frac{12}{w^2}$

Again differentiating with respect to w,

$C''(w) = 12 + \frac{24}{w^3}$

For maxima or minima,

C'(w) = 0

$\implies 12w -\frac{12}{w^2}=0$

$\implies 12w^3 - 12=0$

$w^3-1=0\implies w = 1$

For w = 1, C''(w) = positive,

Hence, for width 1 m the cost is minimum,

Therefore, the minimum cost is C(1) = 6(1)²+12 = $ 18,

And, the dimension for which the cost is minimum is,

2 m by 1 meter by 1 meter.
