Andrew measured a line to be 11 inches long. If the actual length of the line is 11.4 inches, then what was the percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Error=11.4-11=0.4

Percentage error = (0.4/11.4) × 100 = 3.5 to the nearest tenth

Answer 2

The percent error in estimate is 3.5%

What is error?

In practical mathematics, error is the distinction between a true value and an approximation, or approximate, representation of that value. A common example in statistics is the difference between the mean of the entire population and the mean of a sample picked from that population. An example of a round-off error in numerical analysis is the difference between an irrational number's actual value and the value of rational expressions.

Given

measured value  = 11 inches

actual value = 11.4 inches

percent error = ((actual value - Estimate value)/actual value)100

percent error =  ((11.4 - 11)/11.4)100

percent error = 0.03508 x 100

percent error =  3.508% = 3.5%

Hence the percent error is 3.5%.

A boat travels at a rate of 30 miles per hour for 3.5 hours. Let y be the distance, in miles, the boat travels for a given amount of time, x, in hours. This situation can be modeled by a linear function. What is the domain of the function?

Question 11 options:

0≤y≤30

0≤y≤3.5

0≤x≤3.5

0≤x≤30

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that distance = (rate)(time).  Here the rate is 30 mph and the time 3.5 hr.  The distance traveled is proportional to the time passing by.  The graph of the distance function is a straight line with slope equal to the "rate" named above:

d(x) = (30 mph)x

Since x (elapsed time) can't be negative in this situation, we write the domain as 0 ≤ x ≤ 3.5 hr.

if 3x+4y=11 and xy=2 solve simultaneously​

Answers

Answer:

(1, 2 ) and ([tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex], [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] )

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 11 → (1)

xy = 2 ( divide both sides by y , y ≠ 0 )

x = [tex]\frac{2}{y}[/tex] → (2)

Substitute x = [tex]\frac{2}{y}[/tex] into (1)

3([tex]\frac{2}{y}[/tex] ) + 4y = 11

[tex]\frac{6}{y}[/tex] + 4y = 11 ( multiply through by y )

6 + 4y² = 11y ( subtract 11y from both sides )

4y² - 11y + 6 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term

product = 4 × 6 = 24 and sum = - 11

The factors are - 8 and - 3

Use these factors to split the y- term

4y² - 8y - 3y + 6 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

4y(y - 2) - 3(y - 2) = 0 ← factor out (y - 2) from each term

(y - 2)(4y - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for y

4y - 3 = 0 ⇒ 4y = 3 ⇒ y = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

y - 2 = 0 ⇒ y = 2

Substitute these values into (2)

y = 2 : x = [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex] = 1 ⇒ (1, 2 )

y = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] : x = [tex]\frac{2}{\frac{3}{4} }[/tex] = 2 × [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] ⇒ ( [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex], [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] )

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the number of solutions the system of 6(x+2)=y and y=3(2x+3) will have.

Answers

Answer:

  0 solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations describe parallel lines, so will have no point of intersection. There are no solutions to this system of equations.

__

The equations can be put into slope-intercept form by eliminating the parentheses.

  6(x +2) = y   ⇒   y = 6x +12

  y = 3(2x +3)   ⇒   y = 6x +9

These have the same slope (6), but different y-intercepts (9 and 12). They are parallel lines.

Select the number line model that matches the expression | -6 - (-3)∣

Answers

-6 - (-3) remember ( a number in between ) this means positive number so that would mean that that equation would be 3
The absolute value means the value in side will be positive. - - or 2 negative signs give a positive number (cancel each other out). So it becomes -6 plus 3 which is -3. This would be the answer but absolute value signs mean that this value inside (-3) has to be positive.
The correct answer is a number line that shows 3.

The boy missed his family, he told Finn, and he had no friends at camp.
