$4x^2+12x-7=0\\\\a=4;\ b=12;\ c=-7\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot(-7)=144+112=256 \ \textgreater \ 0\\\\therefore\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{256}=16\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-12-16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{-28}{8}=\boxed{-\dfrac{7}{2}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-12+16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{4}{8}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Using normal distribution $\alpha = 1-0.95=0.05$
critical probability $p^{*} = 1 - \frac{ \alpha }{2}$
critical value for the critical probability is CV = 1.96
standard error $SE = \frac{3.2}{ \sqrt{41} } = 0.5$
margin of error = CV*SE = 1.96 * 0.5 = 0.98
95% confidence interval is between μ + 0.98 and <span>μ - 0.98, which is (19.62, 21.58)</span>

Kevin measured a line to be 12.4 inches long. If the actual length of the line is 15.7 inches, then what was the percent error o

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent is $21.0\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated length of a line = 12.4 inches

Actual length of the line = 15.7 inches

Error = 15.7 - 12.4 = 3.3 inches

Percent error of the measurement $=\frac{3.3}{15.7}(100)=21.02$ ≈ 21.0

So, the percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent is $21.0\%$

Can 927/100 be simplified

Genrish500 [490]

No, it cannot be simplified.
Prime factors of 927:3*3*103
Prime factors of 100:2*2*5*5
No factors are in common, so this is the most simplified state.
