Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The expected weight of new born lion = 2.8 pounds

The actual weight of new born lion = 3.5 pounds

The formula to find the percent error is given by :-

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{|\text{Expected value-Actual value}|}{\text{Actual value}}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Percent error}=\dfrac{|2.8-3.5|}{3.5}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Percent error}=\dfrac{0.7}{3.5}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Percent error}=20\%

Therefore, the zookeeper’s percent error = 20 %

3.5 - 2.8 is 0.7 so the zookeerper was 0.7 pounds off

Which equation could represent p? Please please help
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

<h2>P(x) = (x+3)(x-2)^2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the brackets you can see where the curve will intersect the x-axis.

The graph shows the curve intersecting at (0,-3) and (0,2).

This means:

x = -3

AND

x = 2

Rearrange the equations, equating them to 0.

x + 3 = 0

x - 2 = 0

This will be the values in the brackets.

Because the curve only touches 0,2 and DOES NOT cross it, we know that x - 2 is a repeated root, hence (x-2) is squared.

Therefore your brackets are: (x+3)(x-2)(x-2)

Which can be simplified:

(x+3)(x-2)^2

Where ^2 means squared.

How to do composition of functions​
KengaRu [80]
<h2><u><em>If you rather have the link to get this info lmk!!</em></u></h2>

Example: f(x) = 2x+3 and g(x) = x2

"x" is just a placeholder. To avoid confusion let's just call it "input":

f(input) = 2(input)+3

g(input) = (input)2

Let's start:

(g º f)(x) = g(f(x))

First we apply f, then apply g to that result:

Function Composition - (g º f)(x) = (2x+3)2

What if we reverse the order of f and g?

(f º g)(x) = f(g(x))

First we apply g, then apply f to that result:

Function Composition - (f º g)(x) = 2x2+3

We get a different result!  When we reverse the order the result is rarely the same.  So be careful which function comes first.
