Answer:

4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent error = (estimated value - actual value)/(actual value) × 100%

Here, the estimated value is 250 g, and the actual value is 250 g.

percent error = (estimated value - actual value)/(actual value) × 100%

percent error = (250 g - 240 g)/(240 g) × 100%

percent error = 10/240 × 100%

percent error = 0.041666... × 100%

percent error = 4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

the real thing is 240 grams.

the estimation of 250 grams was 10 grams off.

how many % is that ?

for that we need to divide these 10 by 1%.

and 1% is 240/100 = 2.4 grams.

10 / 2.4 = 4.166666666... ≈ 4.2%

the percent error is 4.2%

What is the horizontal asymptote of the function f(x)= -2x/x+1
daser333 [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

-2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have been given a function f(x)=\frac{-2x}{x+1} and we are asked to find the horizontal asymptote of our given function.

Recalling the rules for a horizontal asymptote:

1. If the numerator and denominator have equal degree, the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the leading coefficients.

2. If the polynomial of denominator has larger degree than the numerator, then the horizontal asymptote will be the x-axis or y=0.

3. If the polynomial of numerator has larger degree than denominator, then the function has no horizontal asymptote.

Here, the numerator and denominator are of the same degree. So the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the coefficients.

Horizontal asymptote = -\frac{2}{1} = -2

Pairs that satisfy function y=2x+1
evablogger [386]

Test a pair from each table by substituting their values into the given equation and solving.

A) y = 2x + 1 .......... 2 = 2(0) + 1 .......... 2 ≠ 1

B) y = 2x + 1 .......... 1 = 2(0) + 1 .......... 1 = 1

C) y = 2x + 1 .......... -1 = 2(0) + 1 .......... -1 ≠ 1

D) y = 2x + 1 .......... -2 = 2(0) + 1 .......... -2 ≠ 1


The only pair that satisfied the equation was from answer choice B. Therefore, B is the correct answer.

A computer moniter is solid by the diagonal length of the screen a computer monitor has a 15 inch screen the screen has a width
n200080 [17]
For this problem, you would use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

A and B are the length and width of the triangle. The triangle is created by the diagonal line splitting the computer screen. C is the hypotenuse, which is the diagonal line, and will always be the longest side of the triangle. 

When we plug in the numbers into the formula, we would get this:

13^2 + b^2 = 15^2

B is the unknown variable in which we are trying to find.
First, you square 13 and 15:

169 + b^2 = 225

Then, subtract 169 from both sides:

b^2 = 56

Finally, find the square root of both sides:

b = 7.483314774

Simplify to the nearest tenth, and the answer is 7.5<span />
