Answer:

<em>The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

The cyclist estimates he will bike 80 miles this week, but he really bikes 75.5 miles.

The error of his estimate in miles can be calculated as the difference between his estimate and the real outcome:

Error = 80 miles - 75.5 miles = 4.5 miles

To calculate the error as a percent, we divide that quantity by the original estimate and multiply by 100%:

Error% = 4.5 / 80 * 100 = 5.625%

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%

Aidan has 20 ft of fence with which to build a rectangular dog run. What is the maximum area he can enclose? Enter your answer i
irina1246 [14]
<h2>Maximum area is 25 m²</h2>

Explanation:

Let L be the length and W be the width.

Aidan has 20 ft of fence with which to build a rectangular dog run.

         Fencing = 2L + 2W  = 20 ft

                     L + W = 10

                      W = 10 - L

We need to find what is the largest area that can be enclosed.

     Area = Length x Width

      A = LW

       A = L x (10-L) = 10 L - L²

For maximum area differential is zero

So we have

      dA = 0

      10 - 2 L = 0

        L = 5 m

      W = 10 - 5 = 5 m

Area = 5 x 5 = 25 m²

Maximum area is 25 m²

Can someone help with the polynomials? Please
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

22x^2 -10xy + 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

To add and subtract polynomials, combine only like terms. When doing it vertically, stack polynomials and line up the same bases and exponents. Once this is done, simply add and subtract the coefficients.

  10x^2 + 12xy + 4x

+ 12x^2 -22xy + 8x

_________________

22x^2 -10xy + 12x

Here we added 10 + 12 = 22, 12 + -22 = -10 and 4 + 8 = 12.
