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%

Which formula can be used to describe the sequence <br> -3, 3/5, -3/25, 3/125, -3/625
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

a(n) = -3(-1/5)^(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first term, -3, we get the second term, 3/5, by multiplying -3 by -1/5.

Thus, the common ratio is -1/5.

The general formula in this case is a(n)=(first term)(common ratio)^(n - 1), or

a(n) = -3(-1/5)^(n - 1)

23. The nth term of a sequence is n2 + 3. Find the first 3 terms of this sequence.
Setler79 [48]
23.
assuming you meann^2+3

first term is n=1, so 1²+3=1+3=4
2nd is n=2 so 2²+3=4+3=7
3rd is n=3 so 3²+3=9+3=12

the first 3 terms are 4,7,12


24.
5th term is 5²+3=25+3=28
10th term is 10²+3=100+3=103

difference is 103-28=75
