Clare estimates that her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor’s office, her brother’s height is 4 feet,

2 inches.
1. Should Clare's or the doctor's measurement be considered the actual height? Explain your reasoning.


2. What was the error, expressed in inches? (Hint: 12 inches = 1 foot, so 12 is the unit rate to multiply the number of feet by)
Amount of Error = difference between Actual and estimated guess

3. What was the error, expressed as a percentage of the actual height?

Percent Error = Amount of Error x 100

Answer:

  • 1. Yes
  • 2. 2 inches
  • 3. 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Estimated height is 4 feet
  • Measured height is 4 feet 2 inches

1. The measurement is actual and should be considered as such. Estimate is approximate most of the time.

2. <u>The error is:</u>

  • 4 feet 2 inches - 4 feet = 2 inches

3. <u>Percent error:</u>

  • 2 inches/4 feet 2 inches × 100% =
  • 2 inches / 50 inches × 100% =
  • 0.04× 100% =
  • 4%

If you are investing money, would you rather deposit into an account that earns simple interest or compound interest?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Compound interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

-In compound interest, your money grows more rapidly as the interest already earned also earns a further interest over time for the term of the investment.

-While in simple interest, only the principal amount invested will earn interest over the investment's term>

#Let's say you invest $100 each in A(earning simple interest) and B(earning compound interest), take the term of  both investments to be 5 yrs with both subject to an annual rate of 10%:

-Get the investment amounts in both accounts at the end of 5 yrs:

\#A\\A=PRT+P\\\\=100\times 0.1\times 5+100\\\\=150\\\\\#B\\A=P(1+i)^n\\\\=100(1+0.1)^5\\\\=161.05

Hence, you notice that your earn more in compound interest keeping all other conditions similar.

Determine the type and number of solutions of −4x2 − 3x + 7 = 0.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the discriminant for this. If the quadratic is -4x^2-3x+7, then

a = -4, b = -3, and c = 7. The formula for finding the discriminant is

D=b^2-4ac which comes from the quadratic formula, but without the square root sign. Filling in:

D=(-3)^2-4(-4)(7) which simplifies down to

D = 9 + 112 so

D = 121. This is a perfect square, so the solutions will be 2 real. Just so you know, you will NEVER have a solution like the one offered in the third choice down. If you have one imaginary root, you will ALWAYS have a second by the conjugate rule.
