Her error in terms of inches was 2 inches while her percent error was 4.166%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; From the given data Claire estimated her brother to be shorter than he actually was. She estimated his height to be 4 feet while it was actually 4 feet 2 inches.

We convert the feet into inches because 12 inches are equal to a feet.

4 feet = 4 × 12 inches = 48 inches

4 feet 2 inches = (4 × 12 inches) + 2 inches = 48 + 2 = 50 inches

Error in terms of inches = 50 inches - 48 inches = 2 inches.

Step 2 ; Her percent error is given by dividing the difference in values by the actual value multiplied by 100.

% error = (difference in values / actual value) × 100

Claire's % error = (50 - 48)/ 48 × 100 = 2/48 × 100 = 0.04166 × 100 = 4.166%.

nter an equation and an answer to the following question: What is the original list price if the discount is $25 and the discoun
castortr0y [4]

Let us set up an equation, to determine the list price. X represents the original price

.12 * x = 25

In order to solve for X, you must divide .12 from both sides

x = 25/.12

After you divide, you should get the number 208.33

25/.12 = 208.33

So, the original list price is $208.33

B, 190.
First you find the area of the circle (pi times radius squared) however, since you are given diameter, you must find radius by dividing diameter by 2. So, your radius is 9, then you plug it into the formula and you get 254.5. After multiplying this by 0.75 because you only want to find 75 percent of the area, you get the answer of 191m

Hunter is going to graph the ordered pairs that are represented by this table on a coordinate plane.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1.

Step-by-step explanation:

When x is 0, the point will lie on the x-axis, so we need to find how many times this happens.

There's only 1 0, so the answer is 1.

Help with question 5a
Llana [10]
This is a refreshing question!

We are given that
f(r)=ar+b, and
Sum f(r) =125 for r=1 to 5
Sum f(r) = 475 for r=1 to 10.

and we know, using Gauss's method, that
G(n)=sum (1,2,3.....n) = n(n+1)/2 or
G(n)=n(n+1)/2

Sum f(r) =125 for r=1 to 5
=>
sum=a(sum of 1 to 5) + 5b => G(5)a+5b=125   [G(5)=15]
15a+5b=125 ...................................................(1)

Similarly, Sum f(r) =  475 for r=1 to 10 => G(10)a+5b=475  [G(10)=55]
=>
55a+10b=475.................................................(2)

Solve system of equations (1) and (2)
(2)-2(1)
55-2(15)a=475-2(125) => 25a=225 =>
a=9

Substitute a=9 in 1 => 15(9)+5b=125 => 5b=-10
b=-2

Substitute a and b into f(r), 
f(r)=9r-2
check: sum f(r), r=1,5 = (9-2)+(18-2)+(27-2)+(36-2)+(45-2)=135-10=125 [good]

We define the sum of f(r) for r=1 to n as
S(n)=sum f(r) for r=1 to n = 9(sum 1,2,3....n)-2n = 9n(n+1)/2-2n = 9G(n)-2n
S(n)=9n(n+1)/2-2n
checks:
S(5)=9(15)-2(5)=135-10=125  [good]
S(10)=9(55)-2(10)=495-20=475 [good]

Hence 
(a)
S(n)=sum f(r) for r=1,n
= 9(sum i=1,n)+n(-2)
= 9(n(n+1)/2 -2n
=(9(n^2+n)/2) -2n

(b) sum f(r) for i=8,18
=sum f(r) for i=1,18  -  sum f(r) for i=1,7
=S(18)-S(7)
=(9(18^2-18)/2-2(18))-(9(7^2-7)/2-2(7))
=1503-238
=1265
