3 0

Answer:

Secant line is a straight line which joins the two points of functions and it also represents the slope between two points.

Explanation:

Secant line is also known as average rate of change of functions between two points and also called slope.

In mathematical form,

Secant line = average rate of change = slope

Slope m = y/x

In a laboratory experiment, an ultrasound detector located at D is used to measure the distances of two moving objects, P and Q.
Tatiana [17]
D^2 = p^2 + q^2  - 2 pq cos D

d^2 = (4.24)^2 + (4.24)^2  - 2. (4.24) (4.24) cos 68

d^2 = 2 (4.24)^2 -  2. (4.24) (4.24) cos 68

d = 4.74

so the answer will be letter. C

hope this helps

Describe how you can see and feel sound waves
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sound is a vibration, or wave, that travels through the air. Sound waves are invisible to our eyes; unless we find a way to make the sound waves move something that we can see. In this activity, your child will use different noise-making objects to cause sound waves and make sand visibly move.

Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.

Explanation:

When the vibrating air hits your eardrum, it causes your eardrum to vibrate, just as the balloon did. These vibrations are transferred through the tiny bones in your ear to the inner ear. These vibrations are detected by nerves, which send impulses that your brain "hears" as sound.

Allushta [10]

No.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a random error has been minimized or even eliminated.

<h3>What is a random error?</h3>

Random error is defined as the deviation of the total error from its mean value due to chance.

Random errors can result from the instrument not being precise or from mistakes by the researcher.

Random errors can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging the results.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a ransom error has been minimized.
