An engineer is estimating the weight of a steel beam. The actual weight of the beam is 152 pounds. The engineer's estimate is 150 pounds.
Find the absolute error and the percent error of the engineer's estimate. If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

To find the absolute difference, we simply have to see by how much pounds the estimation was off.

The real measure was 152 pounds, the estimated weight was 150.

D = 152- 150 = 2 pounds.

For the percent of error, we divide the absolute difference (52) by the real value () and we'll get the % of error.  So,

%D = 52 / 152 = 0.0034, so 0.34%

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,14) and is parallel to the line with the following equation? y=-4/3x -1

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+22[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-interceptParallel lines always have the same slope (m)

Determine the slope (m):

[tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x -1[/tex]

The slope of the given line is [tex]\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}[/tex], since it is in the place of m in y=mx+b. Because parallel lines always have the same slope, the slope of a parallel line would also be [tex]\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]. Plug this into y=mx+b:

[tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b[/tex]

Determine the y-intercept (b):

[tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b[/tex]

To find the y-intercept, plug in the given point (6,14) and solve for b:

[tex]14=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}(6)+b\\\\14=-8+b\\b=22[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 22. Plug this back into [tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+22[/tex]

I hope this helps!

Find the measure of the missing angles

Answers

Answer:

m∠1 = 63

m∠2 = 49

m∠3 = 87

m∠4 = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 2 and 49 are similar

Angle 2 = 49

Angle 1 + 49 + 68 = 180

180 - 49 - 68 = Angle 1

180 - 49 - 68 = 63

Angle 1 = 63

Angle 3 + 93 = 180

180 - 93 = Angle 3

180 - 93 = 87

Angle 3 = 87

Angle 4 + 49 + 87 = 180

180 - 49 - 87 = Angle 4

180 - 49 - 87 = 44

Angle 4 = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight angle measures 180°.

m∠3 = 180 - 93

m∠3 = 87

The sum of the three angles of any triangle is equal to 180°.

m∠4 = 180 - (49 + 87)

m∠4 = 180 - 136 = 44

The vertically opposite angle.

so m∠2 = 49

The sum of the three angles of any triangle is equal to 180°.

m∠1 = 180 - (68 + 49)

m∠1 = 180 - 117 = 63

Answer:

1  x = 4      y= 2/3  = 1. 66667   see attached and join the lines to create shaded area.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -3y = 3

16x (64y) = ?

we can multiply the 2x by 8 to find x = 16 and -3y = -24y and 3 = 24

as shown 2nd one.

16x + (64y) =  c

16x -24y = 24    =   64y - 24y = c

40y = c - 24

40y/24 = y

1.66667 = y

y = 1.6667 or  1  2/3

2x -3 (  1 2/3 ) = 3

2x - 5 = 3

2x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

2x + 4y = -16

The y-intercept occurs when x=0. Replace x with 0 and solve for y:

4y = -16

y = -4

Therefore, the y-intercept is -4.

Verified by Toppr

We write the given equation as

(sinx+sin3x)+sin2x=(cosx+cos3x)+cos2x

or 2sin2xcosx+sin2x=2cos2xcosx+cos2x

or sin2x(2cosx+1)=cos2x(2cosx+1)

or (sin2x−cos2x)(2cosx+1)=0

∴sin2x−cos2x=0 or 2cosx+1=0

If sin2x−cos2x=0, then tan2x=1,

Hence 2x=nπ+π/4

A triangle’s three angles sums up to 180 degrees. So the first thing you should do is subtract 50 from 180

180 - 50 = 130

Since it’s an isosceles triangle, ∠A and ∠B are of equal size. So we divide the result, 130, by two. This would give us the m∠A, which is 65.

130/2 = 65

Answers

Answer: (-10, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept occurs when y = 0. Therefpre if we make y = 0, and solve for x, then we can find the x-intercept.

since    x − 7(0) = –10

⇒             x − 0 = –10

                     x = -10

This makes the x-intercept of x − 7y = –10 (-10, 0).

f(x)=12x^(2)+4x-5
find the zeroes of the function...

Answers

Answer:

x = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] , x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

12x² + 4x - 5 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 12 × - 5 = - 60 and sum = + 4

The factors are - 6 and + 10

Use these factors to split the x- term

12x² - 6x + 10x - 5 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

6x(2x - 1) + 5(2x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x - 1) from each term

(2x - 1)(6x + 5) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

6x + 5 = 0 ⇒ 6x = - 5 ⇒ x = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

I am writing an essay for 8th grade about slavery and this is there any way I can make this more formal, or add more detail, or just make it better in any way? (I will give brainliest) Frederick Douglass was a slave himself and thought that slavery should be banned and was morally wrong while Captain Canot was fine with it and, in fact, supported it. Frederick, being a slave helped with the reason he was against it. But, there are many other reasons why he thought it was wrong. One other reason he thought slavery was wrong was that Frederick saw children's mothers and children being slaves while usually the father would be white and the slave owner, this also brought domestic violence. If the mothers or children would not listen. They would be whipped, beaten, and sometimes even killed. They were killed because they were seen as "expendables" as white slave owners could just buy more because most of the slave owners who owned slaves were usually rich and could afford to buy more at a slave auction. Frederick, also based his views on how he was taught and his education. He also knew that inequality and slavery were always hateful and bad, in the first place. Captain Canot, on the other hand, was born into a white family and was white himself and was always taught being a slave was not wrong and that everyone should own slaves, this is a reason why he believed it was ok to own slaves (seeing a pattern?). He then joined the military giving him the name "Captain." Which was a mastery of all men, to complement this he owned slaves himself. Captain Canot never experienced what being a slave was and what having no rights at all felt like. So of course, having no experience Captain Canot thought slavery was good.
