That question is accompanied by these answer choices:

A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.

Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.

The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.

So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B

Which expressions are polynomials?

cupoosta [38]

The expressions that are polynomial are:

6 + w

$2x^4 - y$

z + 1

Solution:

A polynomial is an expression with variables and coefficients with the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables

1) 6 + w

Here "w" is a variable, hence it is a polynomial expression

$2)\ 2x^4 - y$

This is a polynomial, since it has variables and coefficients and variable with non negative exponent

3) z + 1

This is also a polynomial with variable "z" and has addition operation

$4)\ y^2 - y\sqrt{3} + 4$

Since it has root so it is not a polynomial
