(c) 4971 (2 s.f.)
(d) 0.099 99 (2 s.f. and 3 s.f.)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 3750 to 3 s.f

(b) 0.004710 to 4 s.f

(c) 5000 to 2 s.f

(d) 0.10000 to 2 s.f

0.10000 to 3 s.f

Step-by-step explanation:

Things to note when rounding off a number to a number of significant figures:

For a given number,

i. the most significant digit is the leftmost digit as long as it is not zero. For example, in 789, the most significant digit is 7.

ii. when rounding off to m significant figures, the least significant digit is the mth digit from the most significant digit. This can be zero. For example, to round off 789 to 2 significant figures, the least significant digit is 8 (since it's at position 2 starting from 7).

iii. every digit from the least significant digit is a non-significant digit. For example, to round off 789 to 2 significant digit, the digits after 8 (which is the least significant digit) are all non-significant. In this case, 9 is not significant. After rounding off, these non-significant digits are changed to zero.

iv. the first non-significant digit is the digit just after the least significant digit. For example, to round off 789 to 2 significant digit, the digit just after 8 (which is the least significant digit) is 9. Therefore, 9 is the first non-significant digit.

Rounding off rules

i. the least significant digit will be unchanged if the first non-significant digit is less than 5.

ii. the least significant digit will be increased by 1 if the first non-significant digit is greater than or equal to 5.

iii. all non-significant digits are either removed or changed to zero depending on whether the number is a decimal.

(a) 3748 (3 s.f)

The least significant digit here is 4 since it is at position 3 starting from the most significant digit 3

The first non-significant digit is 8 which is greater than 5.

Therefore, the least significant digit 4 is increased by 1 to get 5 and the non-significant digits (8 in this case) are changed to 0.

The result is thus 3750.

(b) 0.004070989 (4 s.f)

The least significant digit here is 0 since it is at position 4 starting from the most significant digit 4

The first non-significant digit is 9 which is greater than 5.

Therefore, the least significant digit 0 is increased by 1 to get 1 and the non-significant digits (8 and 9 in this case) are changed to 0.

The result is thus 0.004071000.

The ending zeros can be removed to give 0.004071

(c) 4971 (2 s.f)

The least significant digit here is 9 since it is at position 2 starting from the most significant digit 4.

The first non-significant digit is 7 which is greater than 5.

Therefore, the least significant digit 9 is increased by 1 to get 10. This is a sort of overflow. This means that the least significant digit will be 0 and a 1 will be added to the significant digit before it (5 in this case which will become 6 due to the addition). The non-significant digits (7 and 1 in this case) are changed to 0.

The result is thus 5000

(d) 0.09999 (2 s.f)

The least significant digit here is 9 since it is at position 2 starting from the most significant digit 9.

The first non-significant digit is 9 which is greater than 5.

Therefore, the least significant digit 9 is increased by 1 to get 10. This is a sort of overflow.

This means that the least significant digit will be 0 and a 1 will be added to the significant digit before it (9 in this case which will become 10 due to the addition).

This addition also causes an overflow thereby causing 1 to be added to the digit before it (0 in this case which will become 1 due to the addition). The non-significant digits (9 and 9 in this case) are changed to 0.

The result is thus 0.10000

The ending zeros can be removed to give 0.1

d (ii) 0.09999 (3 s.f)

The least significant digit here is 9 since it is at position 3 starting from the most significant digit 9.

The first non-significant digit is 9 which is greater than 5.

Therefore, the least significant digit 9 is increased by 1 to get 10. This is a sort of overflow.

This means that the least significant digit will be 0 and a 1 will be added to the significant digit before it (9 in this case which will become 10 due to the addition).

This addition also causes an overflow thereby causing 1 to be added to the digit before it (9 in this case which will become 10 due to the addition).

This addition also causes an overflow thereby causing 1 to be added to the digit before it (0 in this case which will become 1 due to the addition). The non-significant digits (9 in this case) are changed to 0.

The result is thus 0.10000

The ending zeros can be removed to give 0.1

Your carry-on bag weighs 25 pounds. Carry-on bags can weigh at most 50 pounds. Write and solve an inequality to represents how much more weight you can add to the bag and still meet the requirement.

Answers

Answer: Required inequality: [tex]25+x\leq 50[/tex]

we can add at most 25 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Weight added.

As per given,

25 pounds + Weight added Must be less than or equal to 50 pounds

i.e. Required inequality: [tex]25+x\leq 50[/tex]

To solve , we subtract 25 from both the sides ,we get

[tex]x\leq 25[/tex]

hence, we can add at most 25 pounds.

1) What is the digit in the unit's place originally? help plsss

Answers

Answer:

digit in the unit's place originally = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 14

xy - yx = 36

Now, the only single digits that sum up to 14 are;

9 + 5 = 14

8 + 6 = 14

We can't use 7 + 7 because they said there is a difference when the numbers are reversed.

Now, let's assume 95 is the original number since we are told when it is reversed it is lesser.

Thus, when reversed we have 59.

Difference = 95 - 59 = 36

Thus,unit number of original number = 5

Answers

Answer:

25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using SOH CAH TOA, you can see that x is the hypotenuse, and 24 is adjacent to the angle 20, so you will need to use CAH.

CAH is cos=adjacent/hypotenuse. Substituting our values in means cos(20) will be equal to 24/x. By cross multiplying, you receive cos(20) x =24. To find x, divide 24 by cos(20) to get 25.5 to the nearest tenth.

Given: AM = 8, AB = 5x +1 and M is the midpoint of AB, find x and AB
X=
AB=

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

AB = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AM = 8, AB = 5x +1 and M is the midpoint of AB, the AM = MB

AB = 2AM

5x+1 = 2(8)

5x + 1 = 16

x = 16 - 1

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3

Since AB = 5x+1

AB = 5(3) + 1

AB = 15 + 1

AB = 16

p = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression x ^ 2-px + 3 = 0

If x = 0 is a solution

Substitute into the expression

0² - 0p + 3 = 0

-0p = -3

p = 3/0

p cannot be determined for this root

If x = 1

1² - 1p + 3 =0

1 - p + 3 = 0

-p+4 = 0

-p = -4

p = 4

A triangle has side lengths of 6, 8, and 10. Is it a right triangle?

Answers

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell that two of the numbers are only 2 apart, hence CB and CA, and the other one, AB, or the bottom side, is way less.

Answer:

YES IT IS

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle to be a right triangle, it must follow pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse (long side of triangle).

A squared + B squared = C squared

6 squared + 8 squared = 100

Since we squared our addends, we must find the square root of 100 (which is 10)

Since 10 is one of the side lengths for the hypotenuse since it is the longest, and we got 10 from pythagorean theorem, we know it is a right triangle.

Hope this helps you. Have a great rest of your day.
