Answer:

Percent error = -4.02 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Estimated pool dimension = 15 ft long and 35 ft wide

Actual pool dimension = 14.5 ft long and 34.75 ft wide

Find:

Percent error

Computation:

Area of Estimated pool = 15 x 35

Area of Estimated pool = 525 ft²

Area of Actual pool = 14.5 x 34.75

Area of Actual pool = 508.875 ft²

Percent error = [(Actual - Estimated) / Estimated]100

Percent error = [(508.875 - 525) / 525]100

Percent error = [(-21.125) / 525]100

Percent error = -4.02 (Approx.)

Evaluate S5 for 300 + 150 + 75 + … and select the correct answer below. 18.75 93.75 581.25 145.3125
Savatey [412]

we have that

300 + 150 + 75 +...

Let

a1=300\\ a2=150\\ a3=75

we know that

\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{150}{300} \\\\ \frac{a2}{a1}=0.5 \\ \\ a2=a1*0.50

\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{75}{150} \\\\ \frac{a3}{a2}=0.5 \\ \\ a3=a2*0.50

so

a(n+1)=an*0.50

Is a geometric sequence

Find the value of a4

a(4)=a3*0.50

a(4)=75*0.50

a(4)=37.5

Find the value of a5

a(5)=a4*0.50

a(5)=37.5*0.50

a(5)=18.75

Find S5

S5=a1+a2+a3+a4+a5\\ S5=300+150+75+37.5+18.75\\ S5=581.25

therefore

the answer is

581.25

Alternative Method

Applying the formula

S_n=\frac{a_1 (1-r^n)}{1-r} \\\\a_1=300 \\ r=\frac{1}{2}\\\\ S_5=\frac{300(1-(\frac{1}{2})^5)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{300(1-\frac{1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{300 \times \frac{31}{32}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{75 \times \frac{31}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{2325}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{2325}{8} \times 2\\\\=\frac{2325}{4}\\\\=581 \frac{1}{4}\\\\=581.25

therefore

the answer is

581.25

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

If solving for X. (didn't know if you were solving for X or Y.

x=2y-12

x=5y-15

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2y=-12

+2y on both sides

x=2y-12

x-5y=-15

+5y on both sides

x=5y-15

<u>Answer</u>

C. 4 + 6

D. 3.15151515.. + 4.6

E. √64 × √25

<u>Explanation</u>

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a quotient or a fraction. That is it can be written as a/b.


π×6 = 6π   ⇒ can not be written as a rational number.

√3 + √5 ⇒ the sum of two irrational numbers can not be rational.

4 + 6 = 10. Ten is a rational number. it can be written as 10/1

3.15151515.. + 4.6 = 104/33 + 23/5

                             = 1279/165                      

√64 × √25 = 8×5=40            This can be written as 40/1
