Clare estimates that her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor’s office, her brother’s height is 4 feet, 2 inches.

1. Should Clare's or the doctor's measurement be considered the actual height? Explain your reasoning.

2. What was the error, expressed in inches?

3. What was the error, expressed as a percentage of the actual height?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage of error by Clare is estimated as 4.1667 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Height measured by Clare = 4 feet

Height measured by Doctor = 4 feet, 2 inches

Percentage error = ?

Percentage error = Difference/ Actual height *100

Percentage error = (2/ (4*12))*100

Percentage error = 4.1667 %

The accurate height is measured by Doctor, as he have more accurate measurement system.

Which of the following expressions represent 15% tip on a $20 meal? Which represents the total bill? **Select all that apply**. Explain your reasoning for the choices you select.

A.) 1520
B.) 20+0.1520
C.) 1.1520
D.) 1510020

Answers

Answer:

15/100 * 20, because the meal is 20 dollars and to find the percent of something you divide it with 100 so you will divide 15 with 100 and you’ll get 0.15. Then you will times it with the amount the meal cost because thats the charge. So 0.15•20 and you’ll get $3. A 15% tip for a $20 meal is $3.

Angle of a straight line always sum up to 180 degrees
So what you should do is add the angles that are given to you and then subtract it from 180
Working:
100 + 20 + x = 180
120 + x = 180
x = 180 - 120
x = 60 degrees


I hope this helps you and your welcome

Amil is given the equation shown.

He completes the square and rewrites the given equation. Which equation is
equivalent to the given equation?
A.
(x + 7)2 – 12 = 0
B.
(x – 7)2 – 12 = 0
C.
(x + 7)2 + 12 = 0
D.
(x – 7)2 + 12 = 0

Answers

The answer should be C not sure djaidbskajabsbd

The equation equivalent to the Amil equation is (x + 7)² - 12 = 0 thus option (A) is correct.

What is the equation?

The definition of an equation in algebra is a mathematical statement that demonstrates the equality of 2 mathematical expressions.

A formula known as an equation uses the same sign to denote the equality of two expressions.

As per the given Amil equation,

x² + 14x + 37 = 0

Add 12 on both sides,

x² + 14x + 37 + 12 = 0 + 12

x² + 14x + 49 = 12

(x + 7)² = 12

(x + 7)² - 12 = 0

Hence "(x + 7)² - 12 = 0 represents the Amil equation's equivalent".

A flat-screen television costs $724.89 when it is new. The value of the television is expected to change by −12 3/5% per year. What is the expected value, to the nearest cent, of the television after 4 years?

Answers

653 no explanation needed it’s just 653

The solution is $ 422.98

The expected value of the television after 4 years is $ 422.98

What is exponential growth factor?

The exponential growth or decay formula is given by

x ( t ) = x₀ × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

x ( t ) is the value at time t

x₀ is the initial value at time t = 0.

r is the growth rate when r>0 or decay rate when r<0, in percent

t is the time in discrete intervals and selected time units

Given data ,

Let the initial amount of the television be x₀

The value of x₀ = $ 724.89

Now , value of the television is expected to change by -12 3/5 % per year

So , the exponential decay rate of the television is r = -12 3/5 %

The rate r = -63/5 %

The rate r = -12.6 %

The number of years t = 4 years

So , the exponential decay rate of the television after 4 years is calculated from the formula

x ( t ) = x₀ × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

x ( 4 ) = 724.89 ( 1 - ( 12.6/100 ) )⁴

On simplifying the equation , we get

x ( 4 ) = 724.89 ( 1 - 0.126 )⁴

x ( 4 ) = 724.89 ( 0.874 )⁴

x ( 4 ) = 724.89 x 0.583506543376

x ( 4 ) = $ 422.978

So , rounding to the nearest cent , we get

The value of x ( 4 ) = $ 422.98

Hence , The expected value of the television after 4 years is $ 422.98
