Answer:

Error = 1.167 feet

Percentage error = 0.3242%

Step-by-step explanation:

The original length of the soccer field = 120 yards long

Converting to feet

1 yard = 3 feet

120 yards = x

Cross Multiply

x = 120 × 3 feet

x = 360 feet

Measured length:

Han measures the length of the field using a 30-foot-long tape measure and gets a measurement of 358 feet, 10 inches.

We convert 10 inches to feet

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

10 inches = x feet

Cross Multiply

x = 10 × 0.0833 feet

x = 0.833 feet

The measured length = 358 feet + 0.833 feet

= 358.833 feet

The Error is calculated as:

|Measured length - Original Length)

= 360 feet - 358.833 feet

= 1.167 feet

Percentage Error

= Error/Original Length × 100

= 1.167/360 × 100

= 0.3241666667%

Approximately = 0.3242%

F(x) = -4x2 + 4x – 4<br> Find f(3)
ValentinkaMS [17]

F(3) occurs when x =3. So lets plug 3 into our equation.

f(3) = -4(3)^2 + 4(3)-4\\f(3) = -4(9) + 12- 4\\f(3) = -36 + 12- 4\\f(3)= -28

F(3) = -28

I hope this helps! :)

Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 4-x and y = 2x + 3 intersect are the s
ale4655 [162]
Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 4-x and y = 2x + 3 intersect are the solutions of the equation 4-x = 2x + 3.

Because the point where the graphs intersect is a point that meets both rules (functions) y = 4 - x and y = 2x + 3 meaning that y from y = 4 - x equals y from 2x + 3 and also both x have the same value.

Part B: Make tables to find the solution to 4-x = 2x + 3. Take the integer values of x between -3 and 3.

x values    4 -x         2x + 3

-3              4-(-3)=7     2(-3)+3 =-3
-2              4-(-2)=6     2(-2)+3 =-1
-1              4-(-1)=5     2(-1)+3 = 1
0                4-0=4        2(0)+3 = 3
1                4-1=3         2(1)+3=5
2                4-2=2        2(2)+3 = 7
3                4-3=1        2(3)+3 = 9

The the solution is between x = 0 and x =1

Part C: How can you solve the equation 4-x = 2x + 3 graphically?

Draw in a same graph both functions  y= 4 - x and y = 2x +3.

Then read the x-coordinates of the intersection point. That is the solution.

Whats is it a reflection a horizontal stretch or horizontal compression
yan [13]
A reflection is a mirror image.  Placing the edge of a mirror on the x-axis will form a reflection in the x-axis.  This can also be thought of as "folding" over the x-axis.

If the original (parent) function is <span>y = f (x)</span><span>, the <span>reflection over the x-axis </span>is function</span><span> -f (x)</span><span>.</span>
