In Chemistry, Seth recorded the weight of copper tubing as 15.4 grams. The actual weight was 15.8 grams. What is his percent of error, rounded to the nearest percent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: -2.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, and then we divide by the known value, and then multiply by 100%.

Estimated.number = 15.4 grams.

Actual number = 15.8 grams

Percentage error = (Estimated number - Actual number)/Actual number × 100

= (15.4 - 15.8)/15.8 × 100

= -0.4/15.8 × 100

= 0.0253 × 100

= 2.53

= -2.6% approximately

A tennis match was delayed because of rain did officials were not prepared for the delay they cover the 25ft by 20ft court with 13ft by 10ft plastic covers how many plastic covers were needed to cover the cord from the rain

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The 25ft by 20ft court needs to be covered.

First consider half of the court, meaning 25ft by 10ft.

To cover 25ft by 10ft you can easily place two 13ft by 10ft covers next to each other = 26 ft by 10ft

There is a 1ft overlap, but that seems reasonably acceptable.

If you do the same for the other half, then you will have covered the entire court from the rain.

So in total you need 4 plastic 13ft by 10ft covers, to cover the 25ft by 20ft cord from the rain.

This indicates that the officials will need at least 2 covers of 13ft by 10 ft to cover the court

Data;

dimension of court = 25ft by 20ftdimension of cover = 13ft by 10 ft

Area of a Rectangle

Assuming the court is a rectangle from its given dimensions, we can proceed by dividing the dimension of the court by the dimension of the cover

[tex]25ft by 20 ft / 13ft by 10 ft = 2[/tex]

This would give us a value approximately 2.

This indicates that the officials will need at least 2 covers of 13ft by 10 ft to cover the court.

At which root does the graph of f(x) = (x – 5)3(x + 2)2 touch the x-axis?

Ο Ο Ο Ο

Answers

Answer:

At x = -2 the graph of this polynomial will touch the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the behavior difference between power functions of even and odd power. Odd powers are associated with the crossing of the x-axis, while even powers are associated with "touching" of the x axis.

in this cases, since they give you the function in factor form, the actual roots (x-values where the function adopts value zero) of the function are evident :

[tex]f(x)=(x-5)^3\, (x+2)^2[/tex]

It has a root at x = 5 [notice that at such x-value the factor (x-5) becomes zero], and this root is of multiplicity "3" (given by the power associated with the binomial factor for this root)

and has another root at x = -2  [notice that at such x-value the factor (x+2) becomes zero], and this root is of multiplicity "2" (given by the power associated with the binomial factor for it)

It is just the second root analyzed the one that shows an even power (2) associated to its binomial factor, and therefore it is at x= -2 that the graph of this function will show as "touching" the x axis.

Triangle FGH is equilateral. The midpoints of the sides are connected to form triangle XYZ. Line segment XY is parallel to line segment FH.

Triangle F G H is an equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangle X Y Z is inside of triangle F G H and the points are the midpoints of triangle F G H.

What type of figure is quadrilateral FXYH?

Answers

Answer:

Isosceles trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure will look like one large triangle on the outside and four smaller triangles on the inside. you are only concerned with the inside triangle that is pointing to the line FH. Since XY and FH are parallel and the distance between FX and YH are equivalent (the midpoints of each side should be the same for all three sides of the larger triangle) the shape FXYH is an isosceles trapezoid.

There is more than one integer, greater than 1 , which leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by each of the four smallest primes. What is the difference between the two smallest such integers?

Answers

Answer:

210.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first 4 primes are 2,3,5 and 7.

If we multiply them we get 2*3*5*7 = 210.

So 210 + 1 = 211 is one integer which gives 1 as a remainder.

The next one would be  2*210 + 1 = 421.

The difference is 210.

Answers

Answer:

3 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to get a common denominator.

We can do this by multiplying the fractions by opposite denominators.

This gets us 3 50/70 and 3 42/70

Now we can see that 3 5/7 is greater

Steps:

Using the given inputs: 3  5/7   and  3  6/10

Rewriting these inputs as fractions:  3 5/7                3 6/10

                                                            26/7                 36/10

The least common denominator (LCD) is: 70.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:      3 5/7             3 6/10

                                                                                    260/70     252/70

Comparing the numerators of the equivalent fractions we have:

3 5/7   3 6/10

260/70 > 252/70

Comparison shows:  3 5/7 > 3 6/10

Answer: 3 5/7 > 3 6/10

The perimeter of the given triangle is

Answers

Answer:

~73.68

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle with one angle = 45 deg

=> Isosceles right triangle

=> a = b = hypotenuse/sqrt(2) = (12sqrt(2))/sqrt(2) = 12

In other right triangle with 3 sides are a, c, and d, we have:

sin (30 deg) = a/d

=> d = a/sin(30 deg) = 12/(1/2) = 12 x 2 = 24

Othwise, cosine (30 deg) = c/d

=> c = d x cos(30 deg) = 24 x sqrt(3)/2 = 12sqrt(3)

=> The perimeter of the biggest triangle is calculated by:

P = 12sqrt(2) + b + c + d = 12sqrt(2) + 12 + 12sqrt(3) + 24 = ~73.68

A = h*b/2

h=b-10

600=(b-10)b/2

1200=b^2-10b

b^2-10b-1200=0

(b-40)(b+30)=0

b=40 cm

PLS HELP ILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST 45 POINT Part A: Create a fourth-degree polynomial with three terms in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form? Part B: Explain the closure property as it relates to addition of polynomials. Give an example.

Answers

Answer:

A fourth degree polynomial:

[tex]2x^{4} + 10x^{3} + 21[/tex]

The closure property in relation to addition of polynomials means that any polynomials added together will result in another polynomial. For example

(10x^2 + 12) + (x^2 + 6) = 11x^2 + 18

This demonstrates closure because 11x^2 + 18 is also a polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: [tex]x^{4}+2x+20[/tex] is a fourth degree polynomial with three terms and it proved that it is in standard form

Part B: Closure property has been proved in the addition of polynomials

What is Polynomial?

A polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables.

Part A

Example of fourth degree polynomial with three terms is

[tex]x^{4}+2x+20[/tex]

The standard form of a polynomial is expressed by writing the highest degree of terms first then the next degree and so on

Hence, it is a standard form

Part B

The closure property in relation to addition of polynomials means that any polynomials added together will result in another polynomial

Example

(2x+6)+(5x+2)= 7x+8

Hence, the Closure property has been proved in the addition of polynomial

which implies xy = 87.2

If it was a direct relationship

if it was inverse, it would have been

y * x = constant

since 87.2 is a constant, the question looks exactly like the second scenario.
