Answer: Answer:

2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The pointer is 4 of the smallest units above 2. There are 16 of those small units. Each 2 of those units is 1/8 pound, so when the pointer is on a multiple of 2 units, it is on a multiple of 1/8 pound. No guesswork is required to choose the correct weight to the nearest 1/8 pound.

2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb . . . . the scale reading to the nearest 1/8 pound.

Find the perimeter of the figure to the nearest hundredth.

Kryger [21]

Hello!

Your answer should be 26.85.

We can use the formula of pi d or 2 pi r for the circumference.

You would get 5 pi.

But since its not a full circle you would divide it in half and get 2.5 pi.

2.5 pi is equal to 7.85.

Now we can use the equation 7.85 + 7 + 7 + 5

That would equal our answer... 26.85!

Hope this helps!

Compute the difference quotient, StartFraction f (x plus h )minus f (x )Over h EndFraction f(x+h)−f(x) h, for the function f (

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The difference quotient for $f(x)=3x^2$ is $3 h + 6 x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference quotient is a formula that computes the slope of the secant line through two points on the graph of <em>f</em>. These are the points with x-coordinates x and x + h. The difference quotient is used in the definition the derivative and it is given by

$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

So, for the function $f(x)=3x^2$ the difference quotient is:

To find $f(x+h)$ , plug $x+h$ instead of $x$

$f\left(x+h\right)=3 \left(h + x\right)^{2}$

Finally,

$\frac{f\left(x+h\right)-f\left(x\right)}{h}=\frac{\left(3 \left(h + x\right)^{2}\right)-\left(3 x^{2}\right)}{h}$

$\frac{3\left(\left(h+x\right)^2-x^2\right)}{h} \\\\\frac{3(h^2+2hx+x^2-x^2)}{h} \\\\\frac{3h\left(h+2x\right)}{h}\\\\3h+6x$

The difference quotient for $f(x)=3x^2$ is $3 h + 6 x$ .

Select the answer choice below that represents 5.9 x 10-4 in standard notation.

PIT_PIT [208]

This means that you have to move the decimal point 4 decimal places to the left, as denoted by the negative sign. Thus, this would add 3 zeros before 5. The answer would be 0.00059.

I hope the explanation was clear to you. Have a good day.
