Percent error = (error / actual) x100
(2 / 12) x 100 = 16.6 recurring

Answer:

16.7% (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Make a proportion, which is 2/12 times x%/100

Step 2. Cross multiply = 2*100/12

Step 3. Solve = 16.(6) or, 16.7% rounded!

If tan θ = 3/2 and cos θ < 0, use the fundamental identities to evaluate the other five trig functions of θ.
notsponge [240]
Use the Pythagorean theorem, tan is y/x so y = -3 and x= -2. Because cos is negative and R is always positive. You need to find R- which is the hypotenuse;
3^2 + 2^2 = r^2
9 + 4 = r^2
13 = r^2
√13 = r.

So you already have tan<span>θ, 
cot</span><span>θ= 2/3

sin</span>θ= -3/√13 BUT
you have to rationalize, so you get -3 √13/ 13

cscθ= √13/ -3

cosθ= -2/ √13 BUT
you have to rationalize, so you get -2√13/ 13

secθ= √13/ -2

The graph of a polynomial of degree 7 has five x-intercepts, all with multiplicity 1. Describe the nature and number of all its
Marysya12 [62]
Do you know that multiplicity means the number of times any factor appears in the factored result? Just checking. For example The graph of y = x^2 - 2x + 1 has a multiplicity of 2. they are y = (x - 1) * ( x - 1)

y = x^2 - 3x - 4 has 2 factors.
y = (x - 4)(x + 1) each of the factors has a multiplicity of 1. 

So the answer to your question is there are 5 real zeros and 2 complex zeros.
