180.2%

2.09/ 1.16= 1.8017
1.8017•100=180.17
If you round 180.17 you get 180.2%

Answer:

AP Psychology am I right? This toook me a while but I'm glad to help anyone in the same boat as me :) Please remember to change the words around in order to aviod plagirism <3

Explanation:

The two primary ways to solve problems with algorithms and heuristics are as follows. Algorithms are formulas used for quantitive problems such as math or science. Heuristics is a way to solve problems that involve more of a  social and extensive outlook. Another words the heuristic method, involves solving the question with other people. The confirmation bias affects people's judgment and decision-making in within many decision parts of life, so one would want to avoid this in order to stay away from making incorrect choices due to their personal beliefs. Mental sets can make solving a class of problem easier, but an attachment to the wrong mental set can set a stop to problem-solving and one's creativity. In other words, the error mental set in this case is that a person could use one method for everything, because it solved one question, and the answer was not hard to find. Intuition is not supported by facts, or sound information, which clouds judgment. People can then begin to develop heuristics by using intuition. The availability heuristic can lead to error because memories that are easily remembered are found to be constantly insufficient for finding the likelihood of things to occur in the future. People constantly make the error of thinking that two things or events that happen to be similar are more closely correlated than they are in reality. Overconfidence in one's mentality and knowledge can hold actions of reckless behavior and have a lack of honesty for false information, and would then lead to poor performance and severe mistakes.Belief perseverance is the tendency to maintain one's beliefs even when evidence shows that the beliefs are false or incorrect.An error of Framing is that it can affect our decision-making making poor information or lesser options seem like good choices.

Hello! Some advice, please, from a person who is an upperclassman or has graduated from high school. I am currently taking four
coldgirl [10]
Hey, I know this is kinda rare but I’m a Sophomore in High School taking four AP classes also (AP: Bio, Physics, Com. Sci., and World History)
It’s my first time having this work load, and it is pretty overwhelming at times.

For you, I’d say: do what benefits you the most. Always remember that time management is key. What ever you have time for is what you can do. You can talk to your counselor also. Especially, your teachers can help too. If you really do want to keep your classes, prioritize and do your best. I hope this helped a bit.
Good luck :-) Best Wishes.

The graph of x^2=-2+y+5cosy is shown for y=11
erik [133]

(a)

We have been given an equation x^{2}=-2+y+5cosy. Upon taking derivative of this equation with respect to x on both the sides, we get:

2x=0+\frac{dy}{dx}+5(-siny)\frac{dy}{dx}\\2x=(1-5siny)\frac{dy}{dx}\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{1-5siny}

(b)

In order to write the equation of tangent line, we need to find the slope of the line. We know that point (3,11) lies on the graph. Therefore, we write the slope of the tangent as:

\text{Slope}=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2(3)}{1-5sin(11)}=1

Therefore, equation of tangent line is:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\Rightarrow y-11=1(x-3)\\y-11=x-3\\y=x+8

(c)

We know that slope of tangent is given as \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{1-5siny}. The tangent will be vertical when denominator of slope is zero, that is:

1-5siny=0\Rightarrow siny=\frac{1}{5}\Rightarrow y=arcsin(\frac{1}{5})\\y=1.732,1.525, 3.063 \text{ etc.}
