6. (4 points) (a) The edge of a cube was measured to be 6 cm, with a maximum possible error of 0.5 cm. Use a differential to estimate the maximum possible error in computing the volume of the cube. (b) Using a calculator, find the actual error in measuring volume if the radius was really 6.5 cm instead of 6 cm, and find the actual error if the radius was actually 5.5 cm instead of 6 cm. Compare these errors to the answer you got using differentials.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A)   ± 54 cm^3 ( maximum possible error in volume )

B) i) 58.625 cm^3  ii) 49.625 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A) using differential

edge of cube = 6 cm ,  maximum possible error = 0.5 cm

∴ side of cube ( x )= ± 0.5 cm

V = volume of cube

dv /dx = d(x)^3 / dx

∴ dv  = 3x^2 dx ---- ( 1 )

input values into 1

dv = 3(6)^2 * ( ± 0.5 )

    = ± 54 cm^3 ( maximum possible error in volume )

B) Using calculator

actual error in measuring volume when

i) radius = 6.5 cm instead of  6 cm

V1= ( 6.5)^3 = 274.625 ,  V = ( 6)^3 = 216

actual error = 274.625 - 216 = 58.625 cm^3

ii) radius = 5.5cm instead of 6cm

actual error = 49.625 cm^3

Find the measure of the missing angles in the regular polygon below.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can see that the angles inside the polygon form a full circle, as it goes fully around. Therefore, the sum of the angles around the center of the circle (such as m < 7) is 360 degrees. Since it is a regular polygon, and the lines are going from the center to its corners, the 6 angles directly surrounding the center are equal.

Each angle is therefore 360/6 = 60 degrees, so m<7 is 60 degrees.

For m<8, we can see that a line bisects one of the 6 angles surrounding the center. Therefore, m<8 is 1/2 of the angle it bisects, which is equal to 360/6 = 60 degrees, and m<8 = 60/2 = 30 degrees

Finally, we can see that there are 6 sides of the polygon. For a polygon with n number of sides, the sum of its interior angles is equal to (n-2) * 180. Here, there are 6 sides, so the sum of this polygon's interior angles is (6-2) * 180 = 4 * 180 = 720. Because this is a regular polygon, each interior angle is the same, and because there are 6 of them, each one is 720/6 = 120 degrees. As shown in the picture, m < 9 is seemingly one-half of an interior angle, as it is bisected by a line from the center to a corner.

Therefore, m <9  = 120 /2 = 60 degrees

In terms of the perimeter of a regular polygon, the area of a regular polygon is given as, Area = (Perimeter × apothem)/2, in which perimeter = number of sides × length of one side.

Rewrite the function f(x)=16^x in four different ways, using a different base in each case.

Answers

Answer:

X=1

f(x)=16^1

=16

X=2

f(x)=16^2

256

X=3

f(x)=16^3

=4096

X=4

f(x)=16^4

=65536

Here are four different ways to rewrite the function f(x) = 16^x, using a different base for each case:

Using base 2:

f(x) = (2^4)^x = 2^(4x)

Using base 3:

f(x) = (3^2)^x = 3^(2x)

Using base 10:

f(x) = (10^(log10(16)))^x = 10^(log10(16) * x)

Using base e (natural logarithm):

f(x) = (e^(ln(16)))^x = e^(ln(16) * x)

How to explain the function

In these rewritten forms, the exponentiation of the base is expressed as a simpler expression.

This involves the new base, which helps to illustrate the relationship between the original function and the different bases used.

In a sample of 500 adults, 345 had children. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of adults with children.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of adults with children is (0.6367, 0.7433).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

In a sample of 500 adults, 345 had children.

This means that [tex]n = 500, \pi = \frac{345}{500} = 0.69[/tex]

99% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.69 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.69*0.31}{500}} = 0.6367[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.69 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.69*0.31}{500}} = 0.7433[/tex]

The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of adults with children is (0.6367, 0.7433).

Which function has a range of y < 3?
y - 3(2)
y = 2(3)
O y=-(2)x+ 3
Oy- (2) * - 3

Answers

Given:

The range of a function is [tex]y<3[/tex].

To find:

The function for the given range from the given options.

Solution:

In option A, the given function is:

[tex]y=3(2)^x[/tex]

Here, [tex](2)^x[/tex] is always greater than 0. So, [tex]3(2)^x[/tex] is also greater than 0, i.e., [tex]y>0[/tex].

In option B, the given function is:

[tex]y=2(3)^x[/tex]

Here, [tex](3)^x[/tex] is always greater than 0. So, [tex]2(3)^x[/tex] is also greater than 0, i.e., [tex]y>0[/tex].

In option C, the given function is:

[tex]y=-(2)^x+3[/tex]

Here,

[tex](2)^x>0[/tex]

[tex]-(2)^x<0[/tex]

[tex]-(2)^x+3<0+3[/tex]

[tex]y<3[/tex]

The range of this function is [tex]y<3[/tex]. So, option C is correct.

In option D, the given function is:

[tex]y=(2)^x-3[/tex]

Here,

[tex](2)^x>0[/tex]

[tex](2)^x-3<0-3[/tex]

[tex]y<-3[/tex]

The range of this function is [tex]y<-3[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is only C.

Answer:

[tex]Fair = 63.4\%[/tex]

[tex]Too\ Long = 29.7\%[/tex]

[tex]No\ Opinion =6.9\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total=505[/tex] --- customers

[tex]Fair = 320[/tex]

[tex]Too\ Long = 150[/tex]

Required

Complete the table

To complete the table, we simply divide each value by the total number of customers.

So, we have:

[tex]Fair = 320[/tex]

[tex]Fair = \frac{320}{505}[/tex]

[tex]Fair = 0.634[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]Fair = 0.634*100\%[/tex]

[tex]Fair = 63.4\%[/tex]

[tex]Too\ Long = 150[/tex]

[tex]Too\ Long = \frac{150}{505}[/tex]

[tex]Too\ Long = 0.297[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]Too\ Long = 0.297*100\%[/tex]

[tex]Too\ Long = 29.7\%[/tex]

For the last set, the percentage is calculated using:

[tex]No\ Opinion + Fair + Too\ Long = 100\%[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]No\ Opinion + 63.4\% + 29.7\% = 100\%[/tex]

[tex]No\ Opinion + 93.1\% = 100\%[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]No\ Opinion =- 93.1\% + 100\%[/tex]

[tex]No\ Opinion =6.9\%[/tex]

Required:
a. What is Bob's fair share?
b. What is Carol's fair share?
c. What is Denis's fair share?

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]Ann=\$3,20,000\\\\Bob=\$4,40,000\\\\Carol=\$240,000\\\\Denis= \$4,00,000\\\\[/tex]

Each player's offer divided by the total number of players calculates the fair share

Ann's fair share [tex]= \frac{\$320,000}{4} = \$80,000\\\\[/tex]

Bob's fair share[tex]= \frac{\$440,000}{4} = \$110,000\\\\[/tex]

 Carol's fair share [tex]= \frac{\$240,000}{4} = \$60,000\\\\[/tex]

Denis's fair share [tex]= \frac{\$400,000}{4} = \$100,000\\\\[/tex]

 Because Bob has the highest bid, that receives in the business.

Payments:

 Ann [tex]\$80,000[/tex] paid by estate

 Bob [tex]= \$440,000 - \$110,000 = \$330,000[/tex] owes estate

 Carol [tex]= \$60,000[/tex] paid by estate

 Denis [tex]= \$100,000[/tex] paid by estate  

Surplus [tex]= \$330,000 - (\$80,000+\$60,000+ \$100,000) = \$90,000[/tex]  

Splitting the equally among the four players. therefore one of the each receives:

[tex]\frac{\$90,000}{4}= \$22,500[/tex]

The final settlement of the Ann receives:

Answers

The number of bacteria in a culture is increasing according to the law of exponential growth. There are 125 bacteria in the culture after 2 hours and 350 bacteria after 4 hours.

The overall percent increase after 4 hours is 21% if the number of bacteria in a colony increases by 10% every 2 hours option (G) is correct.

What is the percentage?

It's the ratio of two integers stated as a fraction of a hundred parts. It is a metric for comparing two sets of data, and it is expressed as a percentage using the percent symbol.

We have:

The number of bacteria in a colony increases by 10% every 2 hours.

Let there be 100 bacteria in the starting

In the first 2 hours :

= (100×10%) + 100

= 10 + 100

= 110

Again after 2 hours:

= (110×10%) + 110

= 11 + 110

= 121

= (121 - 100)

= 21

Thus, the overall percent increase after 4 hours is 21% if the number of bacteria in a colony increases by 10% every 2 hours option (G) is correct.
