John spent $75 on a shopping trip for new clothes last week. He had expected to spend $100 on clothes,
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Absolute error = $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount spent by John on shopping trip = $75

Estimated amount to spent on shopping trip = $100

Absolute error = Approximate value - Exact value

Here,

Approximate value = $100

Exact value = $75

Absolute error = 100 - 75

Absolute error = $25

Percentage = \frac{Absolute\ error}{Exact\ value}*100

Percentage = \frac{25}{75}*100

Percentage = 33.33%

Hence,

Absolute error = $25

Jim's work evaluating 2 (three-fifths) cubed is shown below. 2 (three-fifths) cubed = 2 (StartFraction 3 cubed Over 5 EndFractio
sammy [17]

Answer:

Jim's error is " He did not multiply Three-fifths by 2 before applying the power "

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's evaluating expression is 2(\frac{3}{5})^3

To verify Jim's error :

Jim's steps are

2(\frac{3}{5})^3

=2(\frac{3^3}{5})

=2(\frac{3\times 3\times 3}{5})

=2(\frac{27}{5})

=\frac{54}{5}

Therefore 2(\frac{3}{5})^3=\frac{54}{5}

Jim's error is " He did not multiply Three-fifths by 2 before applying the power "

That is the corrected steps are

2(\frac{3}{5})^3

=2(\frac{3^3}{5^3})  ( using the property (\frac{a}{b})^m=\frac{a^m}{b^m} )

=2(\frac{3\times 3\times 3}{5\times 5\times 5})

=2(\frac{27}{125})

=\frac{54}{125}

2(\frac{3}{5})^3=\frac{54}{125}

[Calculus, Derivatives] Can a function be differentiable at certain points even if the entire function is not differentiable?
koban [17]

A function is differentiable if you can find the derivative at every point in its domain. In the case of f(x) = |x+2|, the function wouldn't be considered differentiable unless you specified a certain sub-interval such as (5,9) that doesn't include x = -2. Without clarifying the interval, the entire function overall is not differentiable even if there's only one point at issue here (because again we look at the entire domain). Though to be fair, you could easily say "the function f(x) = |x+2| is differentiable everywhere but x = -2" and would be correct. So it just depends on your wording really.
