Ms.Metz had her students estimate the length and width of a math book. Dana's estimate was 40cm by 20cm. The book measured 24cm by 16cm. How far off was her estimate?

Answers

Answer 1

Dana's estimated length was 66.67% far off the actual length and her estimated width was 25% far off the actual width.

What is percent error?

Percent error is the difference between estimated value and the actual value in comparison to the actual value and is expressed as a percentage. In other words, the percent error is the relative error multiplied by 100.

Percent Error Formula

The formula for percent error is:

PE = (|Estimated value-Actual value|/ Actual value) × 100

Given,

Actual length of the book = 24 cm

Actual width of the book = 16 cm

Dana's estimated length of the book = 40 cm

Dana's estimated width of the book = 20 cm

Error in measurement of length of the book =

(Measured Length - Actual Length/Actual length) × 100

= (40 - 24/24) ×100 = 66.67%

Error in measurement of width of the book =

(Measured width - Actual width/Actual width) × 100

= (20 - 16 / 16) × 100 = 25%

Hence, Dana's estimated length and breadth was 66.67% and 25% far off the actual length and width of the book respectively.

Find the value of each variable for each circle. Show your work
For a circle you have 60 and 80, what is the value of each variable a and b

Answers

The values of the variables in the circles are

Circle 1: a = 34 degreesCircle 2: a = 58 degrees, b = 90 degrees and c = 61 degrees

How to determine the values of the variables in the circles?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Circles and missing angles (see attachment for the figures)

Circle 1

To determine the unknown variable (a), we make use of the following theorem

The angle subtended by an arc at the circumference is twice the angle subtended at the circumference

Mathematically, this means that

a = 2 * 17 degrees

Evaluate the product

a = 34 degrees

Circle 2

To determine the unknown variable (a), we make use of the following theorem

The angle at the circumference in a semicircle is 90 degrees.

Mathematically, this means that

b = 90 degrees

Also, we have

a + 122 degrees = 180 degrees

Evaluate

a = 58 degrees

Using the theorem in (a), we have

b + a/2 + c = 180

This gives

90 + 58/2 + c = 180

Evaluate the like terms

c = 61 degrees

Hence, the angle c is 61 degrees

Answers

Answer:

A: Ralph y = 10 + 7.50x

Frank y = 10x

B: x = 4, y = 40

C: x = 4 means that in order for the companies to make the same amount of money, they have to sell 4 shirts each. When the companies sell 4 shirts (or multiples of 4) they are making the same amount of money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because both equations are equal to y, set them equal to each other.

10x = 10 + 7.50x

2.5x = 10

x = 4

Plug in x to a y equation.

y = 10(4)

Write a cubic function whose graph passes through the points (-3, 0), (1, 0), (4, 0), and (0,8)

Answers

a cubic function whose graph passes through the points (-3, 0), (1, 0), (4, 0), and (0,8) is: f(x) = - 2 (x + 3) (x - 1) (x - 4)

What is a cubic function?

A cubic function is a function whose expression contains the cube of the x variable. A function is referred to as a cubic function if its formula is f(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d. a, b, c, and d can all be constants in this case, but make sure that a 0. The b, c, or d might all be zeros.

A cubic function has 3 roots.

Let, assume α, β and γ.

So, f(x) = K (x - α). (x - β). (x - γ)

f(x) is defined by values of x where f(x) = 0

0 = K (x - α). (x - β). (x - γ)

x = α, β, γ

The given cubic function graph is cutting x - axis at 3 points: (-3, 1 ,4)

Now, f(x) = K (x - (-3). (x - 1). (x - 4)

f(x) = K (x + 3) (x - 1) (x - 4)

Next, f(x) passes through point (0,8) which means:

f(0) = 8

so, 8 = K (0 + 3) (0 - 1) (0 - 4)

or, k = - 2

Now, f(x) = - 2 (x + 3) (x - 1) (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given figure consists of a parallelogram and two semicircles with diameters 14 cm and 8 cm

(Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in measure and they are the diameters of the semicircles)

Therefore,

Area of the figure = Area of the parallelogram with base 8 cm and height 12 cm + Area of semicircle with radius (14/2 = 7) 7 cm + Area of the semicircle with radius (8/2 =4) 4 cm

If the polynomials p(x)=2x³ +bx² +3x-5 and q(x)= x³+x² -4x-b leave the same remainder, when divided by x-2, prove that b = -13/5.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets first find the remainder when p(x) is divided by x-2

p(2)=2(2)³+b(2)²+3(2)-5

p(2)=16+4b+6-5

p(2)=4b+17

Now let's find the remainder when q(x) is divided by x-2

q(2)=(2)³+(2)²-4(2)-b

q(2)=8+4-8-b

q(2)=4-b

Now let's equate both of them

4b+17=4-b

4b+b=4-17

5b=-13

b=-13/5 as required
