The absolute error is 0.2 and the percent error is 1.45 I hope this helps
Mischa wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form
The standard form of quadratic equation is
When y=0 then the standard equation becomes
Now we compare the given equation 
with and find the value of a, b,c
-x^2 can be written as -1x^2
a= -1 , b=4 and c=-7
The value of c is -7
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>a is greater than 1, so a−1 is positive.</em>
<em />
<em>The distance between a and 1 appears to be less than the distance between 1 and 0, so it looks like a is less than 2. Thus a−2 is negative.</em>
<em />
<em>b is negative, so −b is positive.</em>
<em />
<em>The distance between a and 0 appears to be less than the distance between b and 0, so it looks like |a| is less than |b|. Since b is negative and a is positive, a+b is negative.</em>
<em />
<em>a−b = a+−b. Since b is negative, −b is positive. a is also positive. Thus, a−b is positive.</em>
<em />
<em>Since |a| and |b| are both greater than 1, |ab| is also greater than 1 (this builds on the intuition students gained in fifth grade as in 5.NF.5). ab is negative since a is positive and b is negative. Thus, ab+1 is negative.</em>
Let’s put these into one fraction each:
Biking:
= (12*5)/8 miles
= 60/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 15/2 miles
Swimming:
= (5*2)/3 miles
= 10/3 miles
Running:
= (6*3)/8 miles
= 18/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 9/4
Now we add all the distances up:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
Now we just can add the numerators and the denominators. We must find the lowest common factor (LCF) for our 3 denominators (2,3,4). Our LCF turns out to be 12. *Remember what we do to the denominator we must do to the numerator. So:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
= [(15*6)/12] + [(10*4)/12] + [(9*3)/12]
= (90/12) + (40/12) + (27/12)
= (157/12)
Therefore Aaron Ran 157/12 miles or 13.08 miles.
Hope this helps!
B. because you do 16*2*h + 8*2*h and you get 128 + 64 = 192
