Answer: You would swap the ineqaulity

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality. This means < changes to >, and vice versa. For example, given that 5 < 8 we can multiply both sides by 6 to obtain 30 < 48 which is still true.

A surveyor measures a road as being 69.3km long, however there is a 1℅ error in this measurement .What is the true length of the

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

69.993

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the percentage error formula:

Percentage error = (true - measured value / true measurement ) * 100%

1% error in measurement

1% of 69.3

0.01 * 69.3 = 0.693

True measurement = error in measurement + measured value

True measurement = 0.693 + 69.3

Actual measurement = 69.993

Hence, actual measurement = 69.993.

Giá trị x thoả mãn x(x − 3) + x − 3 =0 là

svet-max [94.6K]

Here we will use the trial and error method.

We will try putting different values of x.

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 1(1-3)+1-3=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto (-2)+1-3=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto -2+1-3=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto -2-2=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto -4≠0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(2-3)+2-3=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(-1)+2-3=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto -2+2-3=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto -3≠0\end{gathered}$

<h2>Again,</h2><h3>x=3</h3>

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 3(3-3)+3-3=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 3(3-3)=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 3×0=0\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 0=0\end{gathered}$

<h3>☣Hence, The value of X as 3 satisfies the equation!</h3>

(b) 24%

When calculating the total amount of people it come out to 150.

According to the table 42 people smoke. 42/150 is 28%

According to the table 36 people exercise regularly. 36/150 is 24%

f the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular path were reduced, w

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The frictional force between the tires and the road prevent the car from skidding off the road due to centripetal force.

If the frictional force is less than the centripetal force, the car will skid when it navigates a circular path.

The diagram below shows that when the car travels at tangential velocity, v, on a circular path with radius, r, the centripetal acceleration of v²/ r acts toward the center of the circle.

The resultant centripetal force is (mv²)/r, which should be balanced by the frictional force of μmg, where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction., and mg is the normal reaction on a car with mass, m.

This principle is applied on racing tracks, where the road is inclined away from the circle to give the car an extra restoring force to overcome the centripetal force.
