<h3>The absolute error is 6</h3><h3>The percent error is 16.22 %</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Actual volume of his bathtub is 37 gal
Estimate is 31 gal
<em><u>Find the absolute error</u></em>
Absolute Error = | Measured Value - Actual Value |
Absolute Error = | 31 - 37 |
Absolute Error = 6
<em><u>Find the percent error</u></em>

Substituting we get,

Negative sign means percent decrease
Thus percent error is 16.22 %
The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
Answer: 15 ft
The vertex of the equation is ( -2 , -2 )
The axis of symmetry is x= - 2
I needa see it tho for I could help
The correct equation is x=3 because there is no (Y) in the rise over run (y/x) meaning the starting point up and down the point on the (X)
