<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. <em><u>x = 2 +/- sqrt(17) / 2</u></em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Using the equation given we can calculate the value of t, time taken by the basket ball to hit the ground.

h = -16t^2 + 64t + 4 \\0 = -16t^2 + 64t + 4 \\16t^2 - 64t - 4 = 0 \\4(4t^2 - 16t - 1) = 0 \\4t^2 - 16t - 1 = 0 \\t = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a \\t = (16 +/- sqrt(256 + 16)) / 8 \\t = (16 +/- sqrt(272)) / 8 \\t = (16 +/- 4 sqrt(17)) / 8 \\t= 2 +/- sqrt(17) / 2

Answer:

t = 2 \pm \frac{\sqrt{17}}{2}

Explanation:

As we know that the position of the ball is related with time given as

h = -16 t^2 + 64 t + 4

now when ball hit the ground then we have

h = 0

so we will have

-16 t^2 + 64 t + 4 = 0

-4 t^2 + 16 t + 1 = 0

so here by solving the above equation we have

t = \frac{-16 \pm \sqrt{256 + 16}}{-8}

t = 2 \pm \frac{\sqrt{17}}{2}

Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of
Andre45 [30]
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct. 
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at 
standard temperature, then the mass of  25.0 mL  could
very well be  25.4 grams.  We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:

The 'error' was  (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram

As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was

                            +0.4 / 25.0  =  +0.016 .

To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way  ===> .

                           + 0.016  =  +1.6 % .

     
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.

Let's not call it an 'error'.  Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value.  OK ?
