<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>

Percent\ error = \frac{\text{estimate - actual}}{actual} \times 100

Substituting we get,

percent\ error = \frac{31-37}{37} \times 100\\\\percent\ error = \frac{-6}{37} \times 100\\\\percent\ error = -16.22

Negative sign means percent decrease

Thus percent error is 16.22 %

A) x -y =1
B) x * y =1
B) y = 1/x

A) x -(1/x) = 1
Multiplying both sides by "x"
A) x^2 -1 = x
A) x^2 -x -1 = 0

Solving by the quadratic formula
x = 1.618 and
y = .618

Interestingly, the number 1.6180339... is called the "phi ratio" or the "golden ratio".

25 less than 3 times a number is 38. What is the number?
Nookie1986 [14]

You would set up the problem like this: 3n-25=38

To solve for n:

3n-25=38

   +25 +25          (Add 25 to both sides)

3n=63

/3   /3                  (Divide by 3 on both sides)

n=21

The answer is 21.
