Answer:

1.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual Length = 14.7 inches

Wrong Measurement = 14,5 inches

Error in Measurement = 14.7 -14.5 =0.2 inches

Percentage Error = (Error in Measurement/Actual Value) X 100

=(0.2/14.7) X 100

=0.0136 X 100

=1.36%

Percentage Error=1.4% (to the nearest tenth)

Answer:

%Error = |14.5 - 14.7|/14.7 × 100% = 0.2/14.7 × 100%

%Error = 1.36 %

To the nearest tenth of the percent

%Error = 0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error is used to determine how accurate a measurement is, it can be written mathematically as;

%Error = |measured - actual value|/actual value × 100%

Given;

Measured value = 14.5 inch

Actual value = 14.7 Inch

%Error = |14.5 - 14.7|/14.7 × 100% = 0.2/14.7 × 100%

%Error = 1.36 %

To the nearest tenth of the percent

%Error = 0%

Consider the parabola given by the equation: f(x) = 2x2 + 14.0 – 4
Softa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)  = 2x² + 14x - 4

= 2(x² + 7x) - 4

= 2(x² +7x + 3.5²) - 2(3.5²) - 4

= 2(x+3.5)² - 28.5

vertex (3.5, -28.5) = (7/2, -57/2)

The vertical intercept is the y-intercept, i.e., f(0) = -4.

The x-intercepts are the values of x for which y=0.

2x² + 14x - 4  = 0

x = [-14±√(14²-4(2)(-4))]/[2(2)] = [-7±√57]/2 ≅ -7.27, 0.27

solmaris [256]
10% of the 50  were red.

10% * 50

(10/100) * 50

(1/10) * 50

= 5

5 were red.
