Answer:

Percentage error = 25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : Roger has a nail that is 12 centimeters long. He measures and records the length of the nail as 15 centimeters.

To find : What is the percent error in Roger's measurement?

Solution : We have given that

Length of roger nail = 12 cm.

He measures length =  15 cm.

Error = 15 cm - 12 cm.

Error in length =  3 cm .

Percentage error = \frac{Measured-exact}{exact}*100.

Percentage error = \frac{15- 12}{12}*100.

Percentage error = \frac{3}{12}*100.

Percentage error = 25 %

Therefore, Percentage error = 25 %

(-5, 12). Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine. Since csc theta =13/12, sin theta=12/13. We can narrow down to two angles, one in first quadrant and one in second quadrant. We are also given sec theta=-13/5, so cos theta=-5/13. Thus the angle is in the second quadrant. tan theta=1/cot theta=-12/5, so point (-5, 12) is on the ray.

Glen Davis is shooting free throws. Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability that he will make his next one,
Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.00457 or 0.457%

Step-by-step explanation:

Glen Davis makes a free throw 74% of the time, meaning he misses 26% of the time. Four him to miss four in a row, it would require him to miss his first throw and his second throw and his third throw and his fourth throw. I highlight and because it is a helpful tip to remember that AND situations require multiplication while OR situations require addition.

So in this question we multiply the probabilities of him missing.

P(MMMM) = \frac{26}{100}* \frac{26}{100} *\frac{26}{100}* \frac{26}{100}  = 0.00457

This answer has been rounded off to three significant figures

Take 2y 2 - 3y - 5 from y 3 - 6y 2 + 5y. Select the correct answer.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

y^3-8y^2+8y+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Take one polynomial from the other means to perform the sub.traction of them. Recall that it is better to use grouping symbols when subtracting polynomials, so we get the signs right when combining like terms:

The indicated subtraction is: y^3-6y^2+5y - (2y^2-3y-5)

Make sure that before removing the grouping symbol (parenthesis) that is preceded by a negative sign, we change the signs of every term inside it. Then combine like terms to get the final answer:

y^3-6y^2+5y - (2y^2-3y-5)=\\=y^3-6y^2+5y-2y^2+3y+5=\\=y^3-6y^2-2y^2+5y+3y+5=\\=y^3-8y^2+8y+5

Which is the last option shown in the question

liberstina [14]
Hello!

If Bruce observes that the number of pitches a batter hits varies and is given by the function f(x)=x-11, and the batters get {4, 12, 14, 27, 42}, then Bruce threw {15, 23, 25, 38, 53} pitches. We get this solution set by adding 11 to each element in the set {4, 12, 14, 27, 42}.
