Answer: 6.416%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error formula is given by :-

\%\text{error}=\dfrac{|\text{Estimate-Actual}|}{\text{Actual}}\times100

Given : The estimated weight of a substance = 475 mg

The actual weight of the substance = 445 mg

Then,

\%\text{error}=\dfrac{| 475-445|}{445}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{30}{445}\times100=6.74157303371\approx6.416\%

Hence, the percentage error in the first weighing. = 6.416%

For one month Siera calculated her home town's average high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. She wants to convert that tempera
Lana71 [14]

We have to find how can someone convert the temperature from degrees Farhenheit to degrees Celsius using the function. The temperature in degrees Celsius is equal to the temperature in degrees Farhenheit minus 32 times 5/9. Or C ( F ) = ( F - 32 ) * 5/9. For example: the temperature is F = 50°; C ( 50 ) = ( 50 - 32 ) * 5/9 = 18 * 5/ 9 = 10 °C. Answer: The function is: C ( F ) = ( F - 32 ) * 5/9.

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to y= -1/3x + 5 and passes through the point (6, 4).
Levart [38]

Answer:

y = 3x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines will have a opposite reciprocal slope, so the slope will be 3.

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b, then solve for b:

y = mx + b

4 = 3(6) + b

4 = 18 + b

-14 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b

y = 3x - 14

So, the equation of the line is y = 3x - 14
