Question

approximation and errors..
determine the relative error in using 2.3

Answer 1

2.3 is when its rounded off to four significant figures from 2.3232322....

Answer 2

what are your opshons

Answer 3

no options just work out and show the working please:)

Answer 4

In order to calculate relative error, you must calculate the absolute error as well. Absolute error is the actual amount you were off, or mistaken by, when measuring something. Relative error compares the absolute error against the size of the thing you were measuring. If you tried to measure something that was 12 inches long and your measurement was off by 6 inches, the relative error would be very large. But, if you tried to measure something that was 120 feet long and only missed by 6 inches, the relative error would be much smaller -- even though the value of the absolute error, 6 inches, has not changed. see of this helps kk

Answer 5

ok so in calculating absolute error, you do something like (2.3-2.25)+(2.35-2.3)
and then?
