Answer:

Percent error = 15.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Experimental value = 12cm

Actual value = 14.25cm

To find the percentage error;

Percent error can be defined as a measure of the extent to which an experimental value differs from the theoretical value.

Mathematically, it is given by this expression;

Percent \; error = \frac {experimental \;value - actual \; value}{ actual \;value} *100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Percent \; error = \frac {12 - 14.25}{14.25} *100

Percent \; error = \frac {2.25}{14.25} *100

Percent \; error = 0.1579 *100

Percent error = 15.79%

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

15.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

2.4÷(x+4)=1.4÷(x-4)

1.4(x+4)=2.4(x-4)

1.4x+5.6=2.4x-9.6

-x=-15.2

x=15.2

Write each expression in simplest form. (√y-√3)(√y+2√3)
Vladimir79 [104]

 We write the expression in its simplest form and we are left with.

y²√3 + y - 6

  Before proceeding let's define an algebraic expression.

<h3>Algebraic expression</h3>

    An algebraic expression is a set of numbers and letters that make up an expression that has a meaning, the letters are variables and the numbers are coefficients or independent terms, algebraic expressions can be part of an equation and model mathematical processes.

     The first thing we will do is to write the expression:

(√y-√3)(√y+2√3)

  Then we perform the multiplication, with the distributive property, which gives as a result

(y + 2√3y - √3y - 6)

y²√3 + y - 6
