Answer:

The percent error in the survey is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

- Percent error is the difference between an approximated value and

 exact value, divided by the exact value, multiplied by 100%

- Percent of error is a positive value

- error% = [I approximated value - exact value I ÷ exact value] × 100%

- A survey of 9,000 customers at Ron’s grocery store showed that

 35% (3,150 customers) would buy Grainy-Os cereal

- In the first month, 4,200 out of the 9,000 customers bought the cereal

∴ The approximated value is 3150

∴ The exact value is 4200

∴ The percent of error = \frac{3150-4200}{4200} × 100%

∴ The percent of error = I-0.25I × 100% = 25%

* <em>The percent error in the survey is 25%</em>

What is the area of a regular 16-gon with a radius of 15 feet? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Sedbober [7]

Split up the 16-gon into 16 congruent isosceles triangles. Cut each of these isosceles triangles in half to get a right triangle.

The radius of the 16-gon corresponds to the hypotenuse of any of these 32 right triangles. As you probably know, the area of a triangle is half the product of its base and height. For a right triangle, the base and height can be taken to be the two legs. So you need to find their lengths.

Recall that the exterior angles of any convex polygon sum to 360º in measure. For a regular polygon, these angles are all congruent. There are 16 of them in this case, so they each have measure (360/16)º = 22.5º.

Interior angles are supplementary to exterior angles, which means each interior angle of the 16-gon has measure (180 - 22.5)º = 157.5º.

When we split up the 16-gon into isosceles triangles, the "base angles" are equal in measure to half the measure of the interior angles, since each hypotenuse bisects the interior angle. So each base angle has measure 78.75º.

In each right triangle, we then have base <em>b</em> and height <em>h</em> such that

sin(78.75º) = <em>h</em>/15

cos(78.75º) = <em>b</em>/15

Solve for <em>h</em> and <em>b</em> to get

<em>b</em> = 15 cos(78.75º)

<em>h</em> = 15 sin(78.75º)

Then the area of each right triangle is

1/2 <em>b h</em> = 225/2 sin(78.75º) cos(78.75º) = 225/4 sin(157.5º)

and so the area of the 16-gon is

32(1/2 <em>b h</em>) = 1800 sin(157.5º) ≈ 688.8 sq. ft.

It takes 4/7 of an hour to paint 2/7 of a room. How long does it take to paint one room ?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

2 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

4/7 of an hour = 34.3 minutes.

34.3 minutes per 2/7

4/7 = 68.6 OR 1 hour 8 minutes.

6/7 = 102.9 OR 1 hour 42 minutes.

Then add half of 34.3 (17.15)

7/7 = 120.05. = 2 hours 0.5 seconds.

X f(x)<br> 0 24<br> 1 12<br> 2 6<br> 3 3
LenaWriter [7]

The table represents an exponential function given by:

f(x) = 24*(1/2)^x

<h3>Is the function exponential or quadratic?</h3>

Here we have the table:

x    f(x)

0    24

1      12

2      6

3       3

First, notice that for each unit that x increases, the value of f(x) decreases by its half.

This is clearly an exponential equation, whose base must be equal to (1/2).

And because when x = 0, f(0) = 24, we know that the initial value of the function is 24.

Then the exponential function is:

f(x) = 24*(1/2)^x

Such that:

f(0) = 24*(1/2)^0 = 24\\\\f(1) = 24*(1/2)^1 = 12\\\\f(2) = 24*(1/2)^2 = 24*(1/4) = 6\\\\f(3) = 24*(1/2)^3 = 24*(1/8) = 3

Concluding, the table represents an exponential function.
