That question is accompanied by these answer choices:
<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.
Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.
Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.
The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.
So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>
Answer:
c.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of adults in Tim's family. Then (17 - x) is the number of children in Tim's family.
We have $34x + $31.5(17 - x) = $558.
$34x + $31.5(17 - x) = $558
$34x + $535.5 - $31.5x = $558
$2.5x = $22.5
x = 9
Hence the answer is c.
Answer:
1/25
Step-by-step explanation:
64^=8
8*1/2=8/2
10^-2=1/100
8/2*1/100
1/25

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same power
a) (2xy + 4x) + (15xy - 5x) = <u>2xy + 15xy</u> +<u> 4x - 5x</u>
= 17xy - x
b) (6a + 4b² - 3) + (3b² - 5) = 6a + <u>4b² + 3b²</u> <u>- 3 - 5 </u>
= 6a + 7b² - 8
c) (4x³ - 3x² +4x) + (8x² - 5x ) = 4x³ <u>- 3x² + 8x²</u> <u>+ 4x - 5x</u>
= 4x³ + 5x² - x
d) (7b - 6a + 9y) - (12b + 5a - 2y) =
In subtraction, add the additive inverse of (12b + 5a - 2y)
additive inverse = - 12b - 5a + 2y
(7b - 6a + 9y) - (12b + 5a - 2y) = 7b - 6a + 9y -12b -5a + 2y
= 7b - 12b -6a - 5a + 9y + 2y
= -5b - 11a + 11y
e) (2x² + 7x - 2 + 9y) - (13x + 4x² + 5 - 6y)
Additive inverse of 13x + 4x² + 5 - 6y = -13x + 4x² - 5 + 6y
(2x² + 7x - 2 + 9y) - (13x + 4x² + 5 - 6y)= 2x² + 7x - 2 + 9y -13x - 4x² -5 +6y
= 2x² - 4x² + 7x -13x -2 - 5 + 9y + 6y
= -2x² - 6x - 7 + 15y
