Answer:

percentage error = 7.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hank's speedometer reads 60 miles per hour, but during a road test he finds the he was actually driving 56 mph.

estimated/ read value = 60 miles per hour

actual value/correct value = 56 miles per hour

error = estimated or read value - correct value/actual value

error = 60 - 56 = 4 mph

percentage error = error / correct value × 100

percentage error = 4/56 × 100

percentage error = 400/56

percentage error = 7.1428571429%

percentage error = 7.14%

Answer:

-6.6666666666667%

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the accepted value from the expiremental value

56 - 60/60 = -4/60

Divide the answer by the accepted value

-4/60 = -6.6666666666667%

Remove the negative symbol

6.6666666666667%, the answer is 6.6666666666667%

#1: Write the equation of the graphed line. NO SPACES, ALL LOWERCASE. <br> Please help

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Equation of graphed line is $\mathbf{y=\frac{2}{3}x-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the equation of the graphed line.

The equation will be in slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ where m is slope and b is y-intercept

We need to find slope and y-intercept.

Finding slope

Slope can be found using formula: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We will use points (0,-3) and (3,2)

Looking at the graph, we get $x_1=0, y_1=-3, x_2=3, y_2=-1$

Putting values in graph and finding slope

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-1-(-3)}{3-0} \\Slope=\frac{-1+3}{3} \\Slope=\frac{2}{3}$

So, we get slope $\mathbf{\frac{2}{3} }$

Finding y-intercept

y-intercept can be found when x is zero.

So, looking at graph, when x =0, y=-3

So, y-intercept is -3

Equation of Line

So, equation of line having slope $\mathbf{\frac{2}{3} }$ and y-intercept b = -3

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{2}{3}x-3$

So, Equation of graphed line is $\mathbf{y=\frac{2}{3}x-3}$

Tan(A) = opposite / adjacent
if we call opposite "a" and adjacent "b"
tan(A) = a/b
then...
tan(B) = b/a
because it's on the other angle so "b" is now opposite angle B and "a" is adjacent.

So really you just need to take the reciprocal of the given values.

6. tan(A) = 1.25
reciprocal is flipping the value and using it to divide by 1.

you can keep as decimal , 1/1.25 = 0.8
or change to fraction
1.25 = 5/4

tan(B) = 4/5 or 0.8

7. tan(B) = 0.5
1/0.5 = 2
tan(A) = 2

8. tan(B) = 1
tan(A) = 1

This is a 3 to 2 ratio. So in this case you need 180g

I need help with this one and l also answered the first one but i’m not sure for this three angles

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

all three angles should add up to 180 so subtract what you know from 180 and you should be able to find everything from there
