Question
The sum of the total surface areas of two cubes is 1392
cm2. If the product of the length of their edges is 98 cm2, then find the difference (in cm) between the lengths of their edges.Solution
Let the length of the edges of the two cubes be ‘a’ cm and ‘b’ cm, respectively According to the question, 6a2 + 6b2 = 1392 Or, a2 + b2 = 1392/6 = 232 And, ab = 98 Using the formula,  x2 + y2 = (x – y)2 + 2xy 232 = (a – b)2 + 2 × 98 Or, (a – b)2 = 232 – 196 Or, (a – b)2 = 36 Or, a – b = ±6 So desired difference = 6 cmÂ
The Newton-Raphson method is an iterative technique primarily used for:
Which type of data can be ordered, but the differences between values are not meaningful (e.g., satisfaction ratings: "Good," "Better," "Best")?
The "standard deviation" is the square root of which other statistical measure?
In numerical computing, what type of error occurs when a continuous function is approximated by a discrete sum or a finite number of terms?
Which numerical method approximates the definite integral of a function by dividing the area under the curve into trapezoids?
What does a p-value less than a significance level (e.g., 0.05) typically indicate in hypothesis testing?
Which statistical measure quantifies the average squared deviation of each data point from the mean?
