Answer:3.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

16-15.4=0.6

0.6/15.4=3.89610

3.89610*100%=3.9%

First, subtract the two values:

16 - 15.4 = 0.6

Now divide this to the actual area:

0.6 / 15.4 = 0.038961039

Multiply by 100:

0.038961039 * 100 = 3.8961039

So the percent error is approximately 3.9%

Explain to an absent student how to subtract polynomials. Use complete sentences or examples in your explanation.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Subtracting Polynomials is very similar to adding polynomials. In fact, we will be changing the subtraction problem to an addition problem.

In the Pre-Algebra section of the website, we started out by reviewing integers.

We said, "When you subtract integers, you must add the opposite. We also talked about the Keep - Change- Change Rule. That rule applies to polynomials as well.

Take a look at these examples that show you how to rewrite the problem as an additional  problem.

Tickets for the basketball game were sold at $4.00 for adults and $2.50 for students. If 320 tickets were sold for a total of $1
makkiz [27]

The problem based on condition are solved using the unknown variables. The number of tickets sold to the student are 120 and the number of tickets sold to the adults are 200.

Given information-

The price of the tickets for the basketball game for adults is $4.00.

The price of the tickets for the basketball game for students is $2.50.

<h3>Variables</h3>

Variables are the unknown and the value of the variables depend on the other variables in the equation. The above problem can be solved defining the variables from the given condition.

Let the total tickets purchased by the students is<em> x</em> and the total tickets porches by the adults is <em>y.</em>

As the total tickets sold for the game is $320. Thus,

\begin{aligned}\\&#10;x+y&=320\\&#10;y&=320-x\\&#10;\end                    .......1

Now as the total money with ticket selling is $1100. Thus,

2.5x+4y=110

Keep the value of u from the equation 1 in the above equation. We get,

\begin{aligned}&#10;2.5x+4(320-x)&=1100\\&#10;2.5x+1280-4x&=1100\\&#10;-1.5x&=1100-1280\\&#10;-1.5x&=-180\\&#10;x&=\dfrac{180}{1.5} \\&#10;x&=120\\&#10;\end

Thus the number of tickets sold to the student are 120.

Keep this value in equation 1,

y=320-x\\&#10;y=320-120\\&#10;y=200

Thus the number of tickets sold to the adults are 200.

Hence the number of tickets sold to the student are 120 and the number of tickets sold to the adults are 200.

Cd has an endpoint at (2, -1) and a midpoint at (8, 3). which measure is closest to the length of cd
stepladder [879]

Answer:

4\sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of CD will be twice the distance from the midpoint to the endpoint

To calculate the length use the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 3)

d = 2 × \sqrt{(8-2)^2+(3+1)^2}

  = 2 × \sqrt{6^2+4^2}

  = 2 × \sqrt{52}

  = 2 × \sqrt{4(13)}

  = 2 × 2\sqrt{13} = 4\sqrt{13} ← exact length
