The scale is likely to show the mass is either 270.9g or 245.1g
Step-by-step explanation:
Actual mass = 258g
Percent error = 5% = ±0.05
Mass shown by scale = Actual mass*percent error

Therefore,
Mass shown by scale = 258+12.9 , Mass shown by scale = 258-12.9
Mass shown by scale = 270.9g , Mass shown by scale = 245.1g
The scale is likely to show the mass is either 270.9g or 245.1g

Answer:
(x-1)(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
hello :
(x+2) ²-6 (x+ 2) +9 =(x+2) ²-2×(<em>3</em>) (x+ 2) +<em>3²</em>
by identity : (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²
let : a=x+2 and b= <em>3</em>
(x+2) ²-6 (x+ 2) +9 =(x+2) ²-2×(<em>3</em>) (x+ 2) +<em>3²=</em> ((<em>x+2)-3</em>)<em>²= (</em>x+2-3)² = (x-1)²=
(x-1)(x-1)
Answer:
y = 8(.88)^x
y = 4.221855 for the fifth reduction
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the formula
y =ab^x
where a =the initial value
b= 1 -percent decrease
a = 8 inches
b = 1-12%
= 1-.12
= .88
y = 8 (.88)^x
The fifth reduction is
y = 8 (.88) ^5
y = 4.221855
Maybe 38/10. Transforming it into fractions, then in tenths
