Answer:

5.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error in the measurement is obtained by;

|measured temperature - actual temperature|/actual temperature ×100

actual temperature= 95°F

measured temperature= 100.5°F

|100.5 - 95|/95×100

%error= 5.79%

The zeros of a quadratic function are -8 and 5. Write the quadratic function in Standard Form.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

y = x² + 3x - 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros are x = - 8 and x = 5, then the factors are

(x + 8) and (x - 5) and

y = (x + 8)(x - 5) ← expand factors

y = x² - 5x + 8x - 40, hence

y = x² + 3x - 40 ← in standard form

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A contrapositive statement is one that switches the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement and negates both. In our hypothesis,

"If it is past 5:00 p.m., Megan’s office building is not empty", we shall break it into two statements and show the contarpositive of each like shown below.

Hypothesis                                             Contrapositive

Megan’s office building is not empty- Megan’s office building is empty

It is past 5:00 p.m  - it is not past 5:00 p.m

And thus the contrapositive statement becomes

If Megan’s office building is empty, then it is not past 5:00 p.m.

So Curtis drove 64 miles per hour.

Check:

64 miles per hour multiplied by 10 hours:

64 * 10 = 640
