Answer: 6.5%

Step-by-step explanation: 17,466 - 16,400 = 1,066 (the difference)

16,400 / 16,400 = 1 • 100 = 100

1,066 / 16,400 = 0.065 • 100 = 6.5

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error formula =

|Estimated value - Real value|/Real value × 100

From the above question,

Estimated value = 17,466

Real value = 16,400

Percentage error = |17,466 - 16,400|/16,400 × 100

= 1066/16,400 × 100

= 0.065 × 100

= 6.5%

Therefore, the percent error = 6.5%

Part 2: The Zombie Assassin
Tatiana [17]

Answer:  See below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

            y = a(b)ˣ

  • y: final population of zombies
  • a: initial population of zombies
  • b: rate of decrease
  • x: number of hours

Given: a = 500,000   b = 50% (0.5)    

           y = 500,000(0.5)ˣ

Since we want to know the number assassinated (A), subtract the total from the final population of zombies

A = 500,000 - y

a) Equation: 500,000 - 500,000(0.5)ˣ

b)

\begin{array}{c|c|c||l|c}\underline{\quad a\quad}&\underline{\quad b\quad}&\underline{\quad x\quad}&\underline{\quad 500,000(0.5)^x=y \qquad}&\underline{\quad 500,000-y=A\quad}\\500,000&0.5&5&500,000(0.5)^5=15,625&\bold{484,375}\\500,000&0.5&10&500,000(0.5)^{10}=488&\bold{499,512}\\500,000&0.5&15&500,000(0.5)^{15}=15&\bold{499,985}\\500,000&0.5&20&500,000(0.5)^{20}=0&\bold{500,000}\\\end{array}

(Graph attached)

c) The assassins will earn 100,000 + 2(499,985) = $1,099,970 after 15 hours.

The number of zombies needed to assassinate in order to earn $1,000,000:

100,000 + 2z = 1,000,000

                 2z =   900,000

                   z =   450,000

d) How long will it take to eliminate all of the zombies?

   The population of zombies is zero when x = 20 hours

   How much money did the assassinators earn?

   100,000 + 2(500,000) = $1,100,000

The arch of a bridge can be modeled by <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B170%7D%28x-225%29%28x%2B225%29" i
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

450 feet at ground level

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the bridge at ground level will be where the function intercepts the x-axis also known as the roots or zeros of the function. They are found using the zero product property to set each factor equal to 0.

This means (x-225) = 0 and (x + 225) = 0. So x = -225, 225.

This means the width is the absolute value of |-225| + 225 since distance cannot be negative. This makes it 450 feet.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

I think Roland is correct in his statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roland says the number of cups of iced tea t depends on the number of tea bags b and he says the equation represents the relationship between the number of tea bags b and the cups of iced tea t = \frac{b}{1.5}.

I think Roland is correct in his statement and this is because here t is a function of b i.e. t = f(b) and hence, the number of cups of iced tea t depends on the number of tea bags b. (Answer)
