Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(x-p)(x-9) is the equation of a vertical parabola.

If a>0, the parabola opens upwards.

If a<0, the parabola opens downwards.

Also, the focal length of the parabola is 1/|4a|.

<span>the third rope to counterbalance Sam and Charlie is F
and vectF +vectF1 +vectF2 =vect0
let's consider axis
y'y </span>vectF = -F
vectF 1= F1cos60
vectF 2= F2cos45
-F = -F1cos60-F2co45
so F= F1cos60+F2co45= 350x0.5+400x0.7=457.84 pounds

Answer:

13.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Expected weight = 230 pounds

Actual weight= 262 pounds

Required

The percent error

Error= Actaul- expected/ expected *100

Error= 262-230/230*100

Error=32/230*100

Error=0.139*100

Error=13.9%

Hence the error is 13.9%
