Answer:

Percent error = 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error can be defined as a measure of the extent to which an experimental value differs from the theoretical value.

Mathematically, it is given by this expression;

Percent \; error = \frac {experimental \;value - theoretical \; value}{ theoretical \;value} *100

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Experimental value = 4.5cm

Theoretical value = 4.8cm

<em>Substituting into the equation, we have;</em>

Percent \; error = \frac {4.8 - 4.5 }{ 4.8} *100

Percent \; error = \frac {0.3}{4.8} *100

Percent \; error =  0.0625 *100

Percent error = 6.25%

On a business trip, Jon must drive from his office to a clients's office, a distance of 216 miles. He sets off a 8 a.m. Suppose
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

b.) f(t) = 216 - 66t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we consider t and time travelled in hours and we are given that the average speed of Jon is 66mph, then we can calculate the distance travelled at any point in time by Jon.

Distance = Speed * time.

Distance = 66 * t = 66t.

Since total distance from clients house 216 miles and distance travelled by Jon at any point in time is 66t, then remaining distance to be covered from the clients house, that is distance between Jon and the clients house becomes:

Distance from client house = 216 - 66t.
