Answer:

Student 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent error, we subtract the estimated weight and the actual weight, take the absolute value (to eliminate negatives) and divide by the actual weight.

For student 1, this is

|20-15.6|/15.6 = |4.4|/15.6 = 4.4/15.6 = 0.282

For student 2, this is

|15-14.3|/14.3 = |0.7|/14.3 = 0.7/14.3 = 0.049

For student 3, this is

|10-12.7|/12.7 = |-2.7|/12.7 = 2.7/12.7 = 0.213

For student 4, this is

|25-21.4|/21.4 = |3.6|/21.4 = 3.6/21.4 = 0.168

The largest of these is 0.282; this is student 1.

Answer:

  A: geometric; 4 times

  B: arithmetic: 4 more

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic model is a linear model, where the rate of change is constant.  Growth or decay is by a constant amount from one interval to the next.

A geometric model is an exponential model, in which the rate of change is proportional to the amount. Growth or decay is by a constant factor from one interval to the next.

__

<h3>A)</h3>

The equation for the sequence is given in "explicit" form:

  A_n=2^{2n}

The exponent can be split so this can be rewritten as ...

  A_n=(2^2)^n=4^n

If this were written in recursive form, it would look like ...

  A_0=1,\ A_n=4\times A_{n-1}

The fact that terms are related by a constant factor tells you the model is geometric. The factor tells you each hour the population is 4 times what it was in the previous hour.

__

<h3>B)</h3>

The given equation is in "recursive" form. It tells you each term is 4 more than the previous one. This constant difference between terms means the model is arithmetic.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

In general, words like "more" or "increase" refer to addition, and the words "times" or "factor" refer to multiplication.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Area of floor = 21.6m2

area of tile = 576cm2=0.0576m2

now,

number of tiles = 21.6/0.0576

= 375
