One side of a right triangle is known to be 12 cm long and the opposite angle is measured as 30°, with a possible error of ±1°.

Use differentials to estimate the error in computing the length of the hypotenuse. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

estimated error=±0.725

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of the triangle= 12cm

Opposite of triangle x= 30

h= hypotenose side

Error= =±1

From trigonometry

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

hypotenose=opposite/sin(x)

h=12/sin(x)

h=12Csc(x)

dh=-12Csc(x)Cot(x) dx...............eqn(1)

dx is the possible error in angle measurements

So we need to convert to radius

dx=±1°× (π/180)

=±1°(π/180)

Substitute x and dx into equation (1)

dh= - 12Csc30°Cot30°×[±(π/180)]

= -12(2)(√3)(±(π/180)

==±0.725

Therefore, estimated error=±0.725

A cylindrical rainwater tank is 1.5 m tall with a diameter of 1.4 m. What is the maximum volume of rainwater it can hold??
Ket [755]

To work out the volume of a prism, you multiply the area of cross-section by the height (or length).

So for a cylinder, you work out the area of the circle and then multiply it by the height.

Area of circle (or cross-section) = π × radius²

                                                = π × 0.7²

                                                = 0.49π   m²

Now to get the volume of the cylinder, you times this area of the cross-section by the height of the cylinder:

Volume = 0.49π × 1.5

            = 2.3 m³  (accurate to 2 decimal places)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

The maximum volume of rainwater the cylinder can hold is:

<u> </u><u>2.3 </u><u>m³</u>

Let p: x=4 let q:y=-2
ICE Princess25 [194]

Question:

Let p: x = 4 Let q: y = −2 Which represents "If x = 4, then y = −2”? p ∨ q p ∧ q p → q p ↔ q

Answer:

Option c: p → q

Explanation:

Option a: p ∨ q

p ∨ q means that either p is true or q is true or both are true.

Hence, Option a is not the correct answer.

Option b: p ∧ q

p ∧ q means that both p and q are true.

Hence, Option b is not the correct answer.

Option c: p → q

p → q means that if p is true, then q is also true.

Hence, Option c is the correct answer.

Option d: p ↔ q

p ↔ q means that if p is true, then q is true. If q is true, then p is true.

Hence, Option d is not the correct answer.

Thus, p → q is the correct option.

Lake Snider High School surveyed its student population about if they prefer pizza or sushi. The students who prefer pizza repre
stira [4]

Answer:

311 students prefer sushi

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of students who prefer pizza

y -----> the number of students who prefer sushi

we know that

x=5y-27 -----> equation A

x=1,528 -----> equation B

Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for y

1,528=5y-27\\ 5y=1,528+27\\ 5y=1,555\\ y=311\ students

At a carnival, an individual can win a prize by choosing a rubber duck from a pond with "Win" written on the underside of the du
boyakko [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success = 8/(8 + 17) = 8/25 = 0.32.

Let X be the random variable denoting the number of successes (number of times the individual won a prize) in four picks.

Hence, X ~ Bin(4, 0.32).

Thus, P(X = 1) = 4C_1=(0.32)(1-0.68)^{4-1}=4C_1(0.32)(0.68)^3
