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%

Find the zero places of the quadratic function: y= x^2 + 5x + 6
andre [41]

The required zero places of the given equation  y= x² + 5x + 6 is x = -2 and x = -3.

Given that,
An equation   y= x² + 5x + 6,
To determine the Zeros of the equation given above.

<h3>What is the equation?</h3>

The equation is the relationship between variables and is represented as y =ax + b is an example of a polynomial equation.

Here, given equation is, y= x² + 5x + 6
Now, let y = 0
x² + 5x + 6 = 0
x² + 2x + 3x + 6 = 0
x(x + 2) + 3 (x + 2) = 0
(x + 2) * (x + 3) = 0
x + 2 = 0    ;   x + 3 = 0
x = -2  and x = -3

Thus, the required zero places of the given equation  y= x² + 5x + 6 is x = -2 and x = -3.

Please help me :( !!!!!!!!

Answer:

It is a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Staring from the left we see that the line has a slope of 1 and a y intercept of  (0,1). So the equation is y = x + 1. The filled circle at  x = 2 shows that x = 2 is included in the domain so correct is y = x + 1  x ≤ 2.

Then this line is moved up 1 unit to give the equation y = x + 2 and the clear circle shows that this point x = 2 is not included in the domain so we have

y = x + 2  x > 2,
