Answer:

The maximum error in the calculated surface area is approximately 8.3083 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference (s), in centimeters, and the surface area (A_{s}), in square centimeters, of a sphere are represented by following formulas:

A_{s} = 4\pi\cdot r^{2} (1)

s = 2\pi\cdot r (2)

Where r is the radius of the sphere, in centimeters.

By applying (2) in (1), we derive this expression:

A_{s} = 4\pi\cdot \left(\frac{s}{2\pi} \right)^{2}

A_{s} = \frac{s^{2}}{\pi^{2}} (3)

By definition of Total Differential, which is equivalent to definition of Linear Approximation in this case, we determine an expression for the maximum error in the calculated surface area (\Delta A_{s}), in square centimeters:

\Delta A_{s} = \frac{\partial A_{s}}{\partial s} \cdot \Delta s

\Delta A_{s} = \frac{2\cdot s\cdot \Delta s}{\pi^{2}} (4)

Where:

s - Measure circumference, in centimeters.

\Delta s - Possible error in circumference, in centimeters.

If we know that s = 82\,cm and \Delta s = 0.5\,cm, then the maximum error is:

\Delta A_{s} \approx 8.3083\,cm^{2}

The maximum error in the calculated surface area is approximately 8.3083 square centimeters.

What is the common ratio of the following geometric sequence 5/12, 1/4,3/20,9/100,27/500
suter [353]

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation

Ratio =second term divided inti first term a2/a1

a1=5/12      a2=1/4

1/4: 5/12  is the same as      1/4*12/5 =12/20 = 3/5

5/12*3/5 = 15/60 = 1/4

1/4* 3/5 =3/20

3/20*3/5 =9/100

9/100 *3/5 = 27/500..........

The sum of two numbers a and b is 7 and the difference between them is 2. What is the value of a x b ? Give your answer as a mix
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

45/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can interpret the question to have two equation which can be solve simultaneously

a+b=7------------(1)

a-b=2------------(2)

From eqn(2) make a subject of formula

a=2+b--------(3)

Substitute the (3) into eqn(1)

a+b=7------------(1)

2+b+b=7

2b=7-2

2b=5

b=5/2

From equation (3) substitute value of b to find a

a=2+b--------(3)

a= 2+5/2

a=9/2

Then What is the value of a x b ?

9/2× 5/2

=45/4
