The percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent is 18.6%

<h3>Calculating percent error</h3>

The formula for calculating the percent error is expressed as:

%error = actual - measure/actual * 100

Given the following

actual length = 13.4 in

Measured =10.9in

Substitute

%error = 13.4-10.9/13.4 * 100
%error = 2.5/13.4 * 100
%error = 18.65%

Hence the percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent is 18.6%

Pepsi [2]
In this question, <span>Al drives from York toward Benton and Ben drives from Benton toward York. That means both Al and Ben will reduce the distance between them. In this case, you need to add their velocity. The total velocity should be 45mph+55mph= 100mph

The distance will be shortened by 100mile/hour and the distance is 210 miles. Then the time should be:
time=distance/total velocity =210m/100mph= 2.1 hours </span>

Ways to spot if an expression is not a polynomial:
1) If there is a negative exponent
2) If there is division by a variable
3) If the power is something other than a non-negative integer

If any of these conditions exist, the expression will not be a polynomial. Now consider the options. Option A has negative exponent, Option B involves division by a variable and Option D has a exponent which is not a number.

So, from the given options, option C is the only polynomial
