Answer:

9.46 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of sines

10/sin(90)=x/sin(71)

x=(sin(71)*10)/sin(90)

x=9.46

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 82 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

A) Maximum error = 170.32 cm³

B)Relative error = 0.0575

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Formula for circumference is: C = 2πr

Differentiating with respect to r, we have;

dC/dr = 2π

r is small, so we can write;

ΔC/Δr = 2π

So, Δr = ΔC/2π

We are told that ΔC = 0.5.

Thus; Δr = 0.5/2π = 0.25/π

Now, formula for Volume of a sphere is;

V(r) = (4/3)πr³

Differentiating with respect to r, we have;

dV/dr = 4πr²

Again, r is small, so we can write;

ΔS/Δr = 4πr²

ΔV = 4πr² × Δr

Rewriting, we have;

ΔV = ((2πr)²/π) × Δr

Since C = 2πr, we now have;

ΔV = (C²/π)Δr

ΔV will be maximum when Δr is maximum

Thus, ΔV = (C²/π) × 0.25/π

C = 82 cm

Thus;

ΔV = (82²/π) × 0.25/π

ΔV = 170.32 cm³

B) Formula for relative error = ΔV/V

Relative error = 170.32/((4/3)πr³)

Relative error = 170.32/((4/3)C³/8π³)

Relative errror = 170.32/((4/3)82³/8π³)

Relative error = 170.32/2963.744

Relative error = 0.0575

What is the domain of f(x) = (x + 2)2 – 1?

larisa [96]

Simplify

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow f(x)=(x+2)^2-1$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow f(x)=x^2+4x+2-1$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow f(x)=x^2+4x+1$

The Domain is set of all real numbers

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow Domain\in R$

Arc Length Formula [Parametric]: $\displaystyle AL = \int\limits^b_a {\sqrt{[x'(t)]^2 + [y(t)]^2}} \, dx$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{x = t - cos(t)} \atop {y = 1 - sin(t)}} \right.$

Interval [0, π]

Step 2: Find Arc Length

[Parametrics] Differentiate [Basic Power Rule, Trig Differentiation]: $\displaystyle \left \{ {{x' = 1 + sin(t)} \atop {y' = -cos(t)}} \right.$
Substitute in variables [Arc Length Formula - Parametric]: $\displaystyle AL = \int\limits^{\pi}_0 {\sqrt{[1 + sin(t)]^2 + [-cos(t)]^2}} \, dx$
[Integrand] Simplify: $\displaystyle AL = \int\limits^{\pi}_0 {\sqrt{2[sin(x) + 1]} \, dx$
[Integral] Evaluate: $\displaystyle AL = \int\limits^{\pi}_0 {\sqrt{2[sin(x) + 1]} \, dx = 4\sqrt{2}$
