Answer:

Suppose the next case.

You want to buy an object from another state or country, you know that the cost of this object is C, and for bringing it from another place, you need to pay a tax, such that you do not know the exact value of the tax, you know that this can be between 3% and 9%.

Then the tax can be written as:

6% ± 3%

then the error is 3%, this means that the percent error is:

(3%/6%)*100% = 50%

Then you know that there is an error of 50% in the tax.

This can be helpful so you can estimate the maximum and minimum cost of tax that you will pay for this purchase.

Also there are a lot of situations where the percent error give us a lot of information.

"a measure of 10 cm with an error of 1 cm"

The percent error is: (1cm/10cm)*100% = 10%

And in a measure of 3cm with an error of 1cm we have:

(1cm/3cm) = 33.33%

In both cases we have the came error, but different percent error.

Then the percent error also tell us how much the error affects our measure.

Answer:

D.   22.5 sq. un.

Step-by-step explanation:

W divides BU so that there is a ratio of 1;2 meaning that there are 3 parts.

That means that 3 parts is BUV; we know that one of those parts is 4.5 sq. un. so 4.5*3=13.5 sq. un.  - Also 4.5*2=9 to get WUV

V is the midpoint of the line BS so that means that BUV and UVS are equal

we know that BUV is 13.5 so we multiply that by 2 to get the whole triangle

=27

The last step is to get rid of BVW which we know is 4.5

27-4.5=22.5

A function is shown in the table:
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The function is increasing from x = -2 to x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph starts at -2 and is increasing by 1. it would not be "The function is increasing from x = 0 to x = 1" because it does not start at 0. it starts at -2. even though they both increase by 1, the starting point answer is always the best option.

Joseph wants to line his garden with a fence that cost $2.25 per foot. The length of the garden is 6 yards and the width is 2.5
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

$38.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2W + 2L

(where W is the width and L is the length)

Given:

  • width = 2.5 yd
  • length = 6 yd

⇒ perimeter = (2 x 2.5) + (2 x 6)

                     = 5 + 12

                     = 17 yd

Given:

  • cost of fence = $2.25 per foot

⇒ total cost = 17 x 2.25

                    = $38.25
