Answer : The percentage error was, 15.6 %.

Step-by-step explanation :

To calculate the percentage error, we use the equation:

\%\text{ error}=\frac{|\text{Experimental value - Accepted value}|}{\text{Accepted value}}\times 100

We are given:

Experimental value = 74 minutes

Accepted value = 64 minutes

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ error}=\frac{|74-64|}{64}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ error}=15.6\%

Hence, the percentage error was, 15.6 %.

Verify the identity. <br> Please show your work.
m_a_m_a [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove :

( 1 - sin x ) ( 1 + sin x ) = sec² x

LHS : -

( 1 - sin x ) ( 1 + sin x )

Formula / Identity : -

( a - b ) ( a + b ) = a² - b²

Here,

a = 1

b = sin x

( 1 - sin x ) ( 1 + sin x )

= 1 - sin² x

Identify : -

sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

cos² θ = 1 - sin² θ

Similarly,

1 - sin² x

= cos² x

= RHS

Hence verified.

Eric and Frank want to equally share 4/3 feet of rope. what length of rope should each friend get? explain how to use a drawing
blondinia [14]
The rope is 1 and 1/3 long,1 is the same as saying 3/3,
this means that the rope is 3/3 + 1/3 long,so it is 4/3 foot long,
you now want to get half of this number so that each person has an equal length of rope,so multiply the length of rope by a half,
4/3 x 1/2 = 4/6 , which if simplified = 2/3, this means that each friend gets 2/3 foot of rope.

You can draw this in a diagram by drawing the 1 foot of rope, and then dividing it up into 3 sections. Then add the 1/3 foot of rope into the drawing. It should then be easy to see that altogether there are 4 separate sections of rope and that if each friend has two sections then they will be sharing equal amounts, so consequently each friend has two of the thirds of rope, 2/3

Use the following information to answer problems 14-16: Suppose that in a large metropolitan area, 82% of all households have ca
Helen [10]

Answer:

66.6% or 0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

82% or 0.82 of All households have cable TV.

X = The number of households in a group of 6, that have cable TV.

You wish to find the proportion or percentage of groups for which EXACTLY 4 of 6 households will have cable TV.

82% of 6 is = 4.92

Approximately 4.92 out of 6 households, have cable TV.

Using this figure, you can now find out what % of 6 will give you 4.

Cross multiply:

0.82 - 4.92

M - 4

M = (4×0.82) ÷ 4.92 = 3.28÷4.92 = 0.666

Hence, 66.6% of 6 households, have cable TV. In other words, exactly 4 households (X=4) have cable TV.

To test, you can find what 66% of 6 is. You will get 4.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Average speed is 48 km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 16.0 km. The trip took 20.0 min. (a) What was her average speed? in km/hr

Distance traveled is 16 km and the time taken is 20 minutes

convert minutes into hour. to convert minutes into hour we divide by 60 because 1 hour = 60 minutes

\frac{20}{60} =\frac{1}{3}

so time = 1/3  and distance = 16

Average speed = distance by time

speed =\frac{16}{\frac{1}{3} } =\frac{48}{1}= 48

Average speed is 48 km per hour
