2.) The measure of the electrical
resistance of a wire is proportional to
the measure of its length and inversely
proportional to the square of the
measure of its diameter. Suppose that
the resistance of a wire of given length
is computed from a measurement of
the diameter with a possible 2 percent
error. Find the possible percent error in
the computed value of the resistance.

- The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, measured in parts per million, has been increasing as a result of the burning of oil and coal. The buildup of gases and particles traps heat and raises the planet’s temperature. The bar graph in Figure (a) gives the average atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and the average global temperature for six selected years. The data are displayed as a set of six points in a rectangular coordinate system in Figure (b) [see attached]. Solve, Use the data points (317, 57.04) and (354, 57.64), shown, but not labeled, in Figure (b) [see attached herewith] to obtain a linear function that models average global temperature, f(x), for an atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration of x parts per million. Round m to three decimal places and b to one decimal place. Then use the function to project average global temperature at a concentration of 600 parts per million.arrow_forwardCan you Identify the picturearrow_forwardThe purchase price of a home y (in $1000) can be approximated based on the annual income of the buyer x1 (in $1000) and on the square footage of the home x2 (in 100 ft2) according to y = ax1 + bx2 + c.
