A measurement of 0.6 grams means that the 'true' answer lies between
<span>0.55 and 0.65 </span>

In general, the uncertainty in a single measurement from a single instrument is half the least precise decimal given for the instrument.
The precision for this measurement is in the tenths place.
so we take 0.1 /2 = 0.05, and divide by the measurement

<span>0.05 / 0.6 = 0.08333 = 8.3 %</span>

Compare and contrast the difference between "simplify a fraction" and "simplify a radical."
Ne4ueva [31]
Simplifying a fraction means most likely having it remain as a fraction and not a whole number and it can be converted as a decimal.

on the other hand, simplifying a radical, you would have no remainders, fractions, or decimals after simplifying.

thats the difference.

a carpenter has been asked to build an open box with a sqaure base. the sides of the box will cost $3 per m^2 and the base will
slamgirl [31]
<h2>Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be base side and h be the height.

Volume of box, V = a²h

The sides of the box will cost $3 per m² and the base will cost $4 per m². Cost for making is $48.

That is

                 4a² + 3 x 4 x a x h = 48

                 4a² + 12 a x h = 48

                 a² + 3 ah = 12  

                 h=\frac{12-a^2}{3a}

So volume is

                    V=a^2\times \frac{12-a^2}{3a}=4a-\frac{a^3}{3}

At maximum volume we have derivative is zero,

                    dV=4da-3\times \frac{a^2}{3}da\\\\0=4-a^2\\\\a=\pm 2

Negative side is not possible, hence side of square base is 2m.

Substituting in  a² + 3 ah = 12  

                           2² + 3 x  2 x h = 12  

                             h = 1.33 m

Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m

Under her cell phone plan, Sarah pays a flat cost of $69 per month and $4 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill at $83.80 per
zalisa [80]

Using a linear function, it is found that Sarah can use 3.7 gigabytes while staying within her budget.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Considering the flat cost as the y-intercept and the cost per gigabyte as the slope, the cost of using g gigabytes is:

C(g) = 4g + 69.

She wants to keep her bill at $83.80 per month, hence:

C(g) = 83.80

4g + 69 = 83.80

4g = 14.80

g = 14.80/4

g = 3.7.

Sarah can use 3.7 gigabytes while staying within her budget.
