Percent Change = New Value − Old Value|Old Value| × 100%

Example: There were 200 customers yesterday, and 240 today:

240 − 200|200|× 100% = 40200 × 100% = 20%

A 20% increase.

Percent Error = |Approximate Value − Exact Value||Exact Value| × 100%

Example: I thought 70 people would turn up to the concert, but in fact 80 did!

|70 − 80||80| × 100% = 1080 × 100% = 12.5%

I was in error by 12.5%

(Without using the absolute value, the error is −12.5%, meaning I under-estimated the value)

The difference between the two is that one states factual calculations and the other is a theoretical guess

Complete the solution of the equation. find the value of y when equals 2. -3x-8y=10

Afina-wow [57]

The value of y can be calculated by translating the equation such that we solve y in terms of x.

-3x - 8y = 10

-8y = 10 + 3x

y = (10 + 3x) / -8

Then, we substitute 2 to the x in the equation.

y = (10 + 3(2)) / - 8 = 16/-8

y = -2

Thus, the value of y in the equation is -2.

You do not need to flip the inequality sign when solving the inequality -3t + 7 ≥ 9. True False

nordsb [41]

Hello!

It is False because t is multiplied by a negative number, so to solve for it you will need to divide both sides by -3 which mean you have to flip the sign.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ , b) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ , c) $x = 4\cdot \cos \left(t+\frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin \left(t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ .
