Answer:

13.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the actual volume of the box

Volume = Length × Width × Height

You measure the box and find that it has a length of 10 inches, a width of 9 inches, and a helght of 4.5 inches.

Volume = 10 inches × 9 inches × 4.5 inches

Volume of the box = 405 cubic inches

Step 2

Calculate the percent error

|Estimated value - Actual value|/Actual value ×100

Estimated value= 350 cubic inches

Actual value = 405 cubic inches

= |350 - 405|/405 × 100

= |-55|/405 × 100

= 55/405 × 100

= 13.580246914%

Approximately = 13.6%

The Percent error is 13.6%

1h 15minutes, I converted each time into fractions, 2hours to \frac{2}{2} and the 8hour to \frac{8}{8}, this means, painter #1 finishes 1/2 of the project in 1 hour, and paither #2 finishes 1/8 of project in 1 hour, now when we make each fraction out of 2 hours, so \frac{2}{2} and \frac{2}{8}, we add them and get \frac{10}{8}, then as mixed number, 1 1/4 which is 1 hour and 15min<em>(1/4 of a hour)</em> I believe im right.

What is the equation of the parabola in vertex form with vertex (2,-4) and directrix y=-6​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

y=\dfrac{1}{8}(x-2)^2-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix y=-6 is parallel to the x axes, so parabola has equation of the form

(x-x_0)^2=2px(y-y_0),

where (x_0,y_0) is the vertex of parabola and p is parabola's parameter.

By the definition, \frac{p}{2} is the distance from the vertex to the directrix, so

\dfrac{p}{2}=2\Rightarrow p=4

Hence, the equation of parabola is

(x-2)^2=8(y+4)

See attached diagram for the graph of parabola and its directrix.

In vertex form this equation is

y=\dfrac{1}{8}(x-2)^2-4

The distributive property states:
Nataliya [291]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D.  If a sum of two numbers is multiplied by a factor, you can multiply each number by that factor and then add the products.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of the distributive property is that it allows multiplication to be distributed over addition. That is, ...

  a(b +c) = ab +ac

The product of a factor and a sum is the same as the sum of the products of that factor with each of the elements of the sum. This is expressed in statement D.

__

Statement A refers to the commutative property of multiplication.

Statement B is a restatement of the multiplication rule in the "order of operations."

Statement C refers to the associative property of multiplication.

Statement D is a restatement of the distributive property.
