Walter is planning a hiking trip and he estimated the gradient of trail to be 213.6 ft/mile. After hiking and tracking the trail, he found that the trail was actually 202.7 ft/mile. What was his percent error? Did he overestimate or underestimate the gradient?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: His percent error = 5.38 %

He overestimated the gradient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : [tex]Percent\ error =\dfrac{|Estimated\ value- Actual\ value|}{Actual\ value}\times100[/tex]

Given, Estimated gradient of trail  = 213.6 ft/mile

Actual gradient of trail  =  202.7 ft/mile

Since,  213.6 > 202.7 , that means he overestimated the gradient.

Percent error: [tex]\dfrac{|213.6-202.7|}{202.7}\times100[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{10.9}{202.7}\times100\\\\\approx5.38\%[/tex]

Hence, percent error = 5.38 %

After being treated with chemotherapy, the radius of the tumor decreased by 23%. What is the corresponding percentage decrease in the volume of the tumor

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the tumor experimented a decrease of 54.34 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that tumor has an spherical geometry, whose volume ([tex]V[/tex]) is calculated by:

[tex]V = \frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot R^{3}[/tex]

Where [tex]R[/tex] is the radius of the tumor.

The percentage decrease in the volume of the tumor ([tex]\%V[/tex]) is expressed by:

[tex]\%V = \frac{\Delta V}{V_{o}} \times 100\,\%[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\Delta V[/tex] - Absolute decrease in the volume of the tumor.

[tex]V_{o}[/tex] - Initial volume of the tumor.

The absolute decrease in the volume of the tumor is:

[tex]\Delta V = V_{o}-V_{f}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta V = \frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot (R_{f}^{3}-R_{o}^{3})[/tex]

The percentage decrease is finally simplified:

[tex]\%V = \left[1-\left(\frac{R_{f}}{R_{o}}\right)^{3} \right]\times 100\,\%[/tex]

Given that [tex]R_{o} = R[/tex] and [tex]R_{f} = 0.77\cdot R[/tex], the percentage decrease in the volume of tumor is:

[tex]\%V = \left[1-\left(\frac{0.77\cdot R}{R}\right)^{3} \right]\times 100\,\%[/tex]

[tex]\%V = 54.34\,\%[/tex]

The volume of the tumor experimented a decrease of 54.34 percent.

Answers

Answer:

25 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the teacher's age be a.

Then:

a^2 - 23a = 50

In standard form, this quadratic is

x^2 - 23a - 50 = 0

Factoring this, we get (x - 25)(x + 2) = 0

So a is either 25 or a is -2.  Only a = 25 is relevant here.

What are the roots of the equation 4x^2 + 16x + 25 = 0 in simplest a + bi form?​

Answers

Answer:-2 + 3i/2, and -2-3i/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the quadratic formula.

We have (-16 +-sqrt(16^2-4*4*25))/8.

Simplifying, we have (-16+-12i)/8.

Thus, the roots are -2 + 3i/2, and -2-3i/2

Answer:

The roots are

[tex]x = - 2 + \frac{3}{2} \: i \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: x = - 2 - \frac{3}{2} \: i \\ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² + 16x + 25 = 0

Using the quadratic formula

That's

[tex]x = \frac{ - b\pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

From the question

a = 4 , b = 16 , c = 25

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

We have

[tex]x = \frac{ - 16\pm \sqrt{ {16}^{2} - 4(4)(25)} }{2(4)} \\ x = \frac{ - 16\pm \sqrt{256 - 400} }{8} \\ x = \frac{ - 16\pm \sqrt{ - 144} }{8} \\ x = \frac{ - 16\pm12 \: i}{8} \\ [/tex]

Separate the real and imaginary parts

That's

[tex]x = \frac{ - 16}{8} \pm \frac{12}{8} \: i \\ x = - 2\pm \frac{3}{2} i[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]x = - 2 + \frac{3}{2} \: i \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: x = - 2 - \frac{3}{2} \: i \\ [/tex]

lX – 12.2l= 0.3 gives the minimum and maximum acceptable lengths of the wires in centimeters. What is the minimum acceptable length of a wire?​

Answers

Answer:  11.9 cm

Work Shown:

|x-12.2| = 0.3

x-12.2 = -0.3 or x-12.2 = 0.3

x = -0.3+12.2 or x = 0.3+12.2

x = 11.9 or x = 12.5

The min length is 11.9 cm and the max length is 12.5 cm

Subtracting 12.2 from either x value leads to a positive difference of 0.3 which is the margin of error.

Answers

Answer:

x = - 1.106

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3(10-5x)=31.5(8x+9)

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

3 - 1.5x = 252x + 283.5

Subtract 3 from both sides

3-3 - 1.5x = 252x + 283.5 - 3

-1.5x = 252x + 280.5

Subtract 252x from both sides

That's

- 1.5x - 252x = 252x - 252x + 280.5

- 253.5x = 280.5

Divide both sides by -253.5

We have the final answer as

x = - 1.106

Please answer if you can!
Also it’s NOT 1.5

Answers

Answer:

9 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 9 to both sides:

8b - 9 (+9) = b (+9)

8b = b + 9

Next, subtract b from both sides:

8b (-b) = b (-b) + 9

8b - b = 9

7b = 9

Divide 7 from both sides:

(7b)/7 = (9)/7

b = 9/7

Plug in 9/7  for b in the equation given:

7(b) = 7(9/7) = 9

9 is your answer.

The mean of four numbers is 70. When a fifth number is included, the mean of the five numbers is 80. What is the fifth number?

Answers

Answer: 120

=============================================

Explanation:

S = sum of the first four values

S/4 = 70 since we divide the sum by 4 to get the mean of the first four values

S = 280 is the result after multiplying both sides by 4

Let x be the fifth unknown value. Adding it onto S leads to S+x = 280+x. This represents the sum of all five values.

Dividing that sum 280+x over 5 leads to the new mean 80, which leads to...

----------

(280+x)/5 = 80

280+x = 5*80

x+280 = 400

x = 400-280

x = 120

The fifth number is 120

The fifth number is 120

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the four numbers be = a , b , c , d

Let the fifth number be = e

Now , the mean of 4 numbers is m = 70

So , the equation will be

( a + b + c + d ) / 4 = 70

Multiply by 4 on both sides , we get

a + b + c + d = 280   be equation (1)

Now , the mean of 5 numbers is m = 80

So , the equation will be

( a + b + c + d + e ) / 5 = 80

Multiply by 5 , we get

a + b + c + d + e = 400   be equation (2)

Substitute the value of equation (1) in equation (2) , we get

a + b + c + d + e = 400

280 + e = 400

Subtracting 280 on both sides , we get

e = 400 - 280

e = 120

Therefore , the value of e is 120

Hence , The fifth number is 120
