Answer:

absolute error: 0.4 kg
relative error: 6.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute error is the difference between the estimate and the actual weight:

7.0 kg -6.6 kg = 0.4 kg . . . . absolute error

The relative error is the ratio of the absolute error to the actual weight:

(0.4 kg)/(6.6 kg) × 100% = 6.060606...% ≈ 6.1% . . . . relative error

Two numbers that differ by 46

Reil [10]

the complete question is

Find two numbers whose difference is 46 and whose product is a minimum

Let

x------->larger number

y-------> smaller number

P-------> product of the two numbers

we know that

$x-y=46\\ y=x-46$ -----> equation 1

$P=x*y$ -----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

$P=x*[x-46]\\ P=x^{2} -46x$

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

Find the value of x for that the product P is a minimum

the vertex is the point $(23,-529)$

that means, for $x=23$

the product is a minimum $P=-529$

find the value of y

$y=x-46\\ y=23-46\\ y=-23$

therefore

the answer is

the numbers are $23$ and $-23$

A line has the equation 3x–4y–12=0.<br><br> Is the point (2, −1) on the graph?

zmey [24]

Answer:

The point (2, -1 ) is not on the graph of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x–4y–12=0

3*2 - 4*(-1) - 12= 0

6 + 4 - 12 =0

10 - 12 = 0

- 2 = 0 , false, so the point (2, -1 ) is not on the graph of the line.
