(a) Explanation Given Information: The set of measurements is 197.0 m, 5 .43 m, 4 .000 m and 0 .07 m . Consider the set of measurements, 197.0 m, 5 .43 m, 4 .000 m and 0 .07 m . The accuracy of a measurement means the number of digits, called significant digit. If a number contains less number of significant digits that means the measurement is less accurate. First write the precision and the accuracy of each measurement in organizes way. Measurement Precision Accuracy (Significant digits) 197.0 m 0.1 m 4 5 (b) To determine The least precision each set of measurements is 197.0 m, 5 .43 m, 4 .000 m and 0 .07 m .

Officials in a certain region tend to raise the sales tax in years in which the state faces a budget deficit and then cut the tax when the state has a surplus. The graph shows the region's sales tax in recent years. Let T(x) represent the sales tax per dollar spent in year x. Find the desired limits and values, if they exist. Note that '01 represents 2001. Complete parts (a) through (e). Tax (in cents) T(X)4 8.5 8- OA. lim T(x)= cent(s) X-2007 (Type an integer or a decimal.) OB. The limit does not exist and is neither ∞ nor - ∞. G

Decide from the graph whether each limit exists. If a limit exists, estimate its value. (a) lim F(x) X➡-7 (b) lim F(x) X-2 (a) What is the value of the limit?
