Answer:

49,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The divisor is 4.084. When it is rounded to the nearest whole number, it is 4.

Then the division problem becomes ...

196,900/4 ≈ 49,000 . . . . . . showing just 2 significant digits for the estimate

The point of an estimate is to obtain an approximate answer that is within a few percent of the actual answer. Here, rounding 4.084 to 4.000 gives an error on the order of .084/4 ≈ 2.1%. Because we're using a smaller divisor, the value we obtain for our estimate will be too large by about that amount.

Often, an estimate that has 1 or 2 significant digits is "close enough" for the purpose. Because a change in our estimated value of 1 in the least significant digit is a change of about 2%, we judge this estimate to be "close enough", given the rounding we did to start. Keeping 3 significant digits in our estimate would claim an accuracy that it does not have.

48,213

Step-by-step explanation:

The full answer is 48,212.5367, but because there is a 5 in the tenths place you round the whole number up

Which correctly describes the roots of the following cubic equation x^3-5x^2+3x+9=0? A. Three real roots, each with a different

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given cubic equation is

$x^3-5x^2+3x+9=0$

According to the rational root theorem 1 and -1 are possible rational roots of all polynomial.

At x=-1, the value of function 0. Therefore (x+1) is the factor of polynomial and -1 is a real root.

Use synthetic division to find the remaining polynomial.

$(x+1)(x^2-6x+9)=0$

$(x+1)(x^2-2(3)x+3^2)=0$

Using $(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$(x+1)(x-3)^2)=0$

USe zero product property and equate each factor equal to 0.

$x=-1,x=3,x=3$

Therefore the equation have three real roots out of which the value of two roots are same.

Option C is correct.

The mode is the value of the data point that appears the most often. What is the mode?

Pachacha [2.7K]

the mode :is the most repeated value
for example if the question asked you to find the mode among a set of numbers like:2,3,2,4,5,5,2
the mode will be 2 because 2 is the most repeated value

What information does the standard form the equation of a line give you?

Butoxors [25]

I assume you are referencing y=mx+b. The equation gives you the slope of the line (m), and a coordinate (x, y). As well as b, which could be used for many things.

If you solve using the equation for the constant of proportionality, y/x = k with k = 4/5 and y = 2/3, what is the value of x?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x=5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

k=4/5

3 and 5 can go into 15

10/15 and 12/15

10/15 divided by x =12/15

x=5/6

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Part A = 64 feet

Part B = 79 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

10 × 2 = 20 = Diameter

Formula is C = π × diameter

20 × π = 62.8318530718 feet = 64 feet

Part B

25 × 2 = 50

Same formula

50 × π = 157.079632679 feet

157.079632679 ÷ 2 = 78.5398163395 feet = 79 feet

divide by 2 because it is a semi circle

Hope his helped :)
