Joshua uses his thermometer and finds the boiling point of ethyl alcohol to be 75 degrees Celsius. He looks in a reference book and finds that the actual boiling point of ethyl alcohol is 80 degrees Celsius. What is his percent error?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is calculated by taking the difference of measured value and correct value divided by correct value and multiplied by 100%.

Mathematically,

Percent error = (correct value - measured value)/correct value  * 100%

_________________________________________________

in the problem given

measured value = 75 degrees Celsius

correct value = 80 degrees Celsius ( as given in reference book)

thus,

Percent error = (80 - 75)/80 * 100%

Percent error = (5/80 )* 100% = 6.25%

Percent error calculated by him is  6.25%.

Answer 2

We will see that the percent error in Joshua's measure is:

Pe = 6.25%

How to get the percent error in a measure?

The percent error for a measure is computed as:

[tex]P_E = (\frac{A - M}{A})*100 \%[/tex]

Where A is the accepted value and M is the measured value.

Here we have:

A = 80°C

M = 70°C

Replacing that we get:

[tex]P_E = (\frac{80 \°C - 75 \°C}{80 \°C})*100 \% = 6.25 \%[/tex]

So we can conclude that the percent error is 6.25%

Answer: The distance from Shively to the tower is 386.1 meters

The distance from Sparzak to the tower is 226.9 meters

The distance from Shively to Spazak is 386.1 m + 226.9m = 616 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can create a triangle rectangle between the position of each boy, the bottom of the tower and the top of the tower.

From the left kid (i think is Shively), we have that the top angle (formed between the perpendicular line to the tower and the tower) must be:

A = 90° - 40° =50°

(that is a 90° angle divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if one side is 40°, the other angle should be such that when we add bot angles the sum is 90°)

Now, we want to find the opposite cathetus to this angle, so we can use the relation:

Tan(A) = Opposite cath/adjacent cath.

And we know that the adjacent cathetus, the tower, is 324m long.

then:

Tan(50°) = X/324m.

Tan(50°)*324m = X = 386.1m

now for the other kid (the one in the right, Sparzak), the angle will be 90° - 55° = 35°.

So we have:

Tan(35°) = X/324m

Tan(45°)*324m = 226.9m

then:

The distance from Shively to the tower is 386.1 meters

The distance from Sparzak to the tower is 226.9 meters

The distance from Shively to Spazak is 386.1 m + 226.9m = 616 meters.

15. Select the graph which correctly displays the function f(x) = |x + 2|– 3.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(0)=2-3=-1 so the point (0,-1) must be on the graph

f(-5)=|-5+2|-3=3-3=0 so the point (-5,0) must be on the graph

Then, the correct answer is the second graph

The graph that correctly displays the function f(x) = |x + 2|– 3 is the second graph.

How do we graph a function?

We graph a function by calculating some values of f(x), plotting the points calculated as (x, f(x)), recognizing the trend, and completing the graph.

How do we solve the given question?

To solve the given question, we will plot a graph of the function

f(x) = |x + 2|– 3 and then compare the graphs with it.

Our function f(x) = |x + 2|– 3 can be written as the combination of two functions g(x) = |x+2| and h(x) = -3

Since g(x) is a modulus function, it will be V-shaped. To recognize its start point and the trend, first we calculate x, when g(x) = 0

or, |x+2| = 0

or, x + 2 = 0

or, x = -2.

We find two more points, g(-1) and g(-3) to find if the V is upright or inverted.

g(-1) = |-1+2| = 1

g(-3) = |-3+2| = 1

Since g(-1) and g(-3) are greater than g(-2), g(x) = |x+2| is an upright V-shaped function starting from the point (-2,0)

h(x) = -3, is a straight line parallel to the x-axis, passing through the point -3 on the y-axis.

∴ f(x) = g(x) + h(x) = |x+2|-3 will move the graph of g(x) 3 points down.

The graph of f(x) will then be a V-Shaped upright curve, with the start point (-2, -3) and going up.

Our graph has been attached. The graph matching our graph is the 2nd one, so that is the right option.

1/500=0.002

3 2/25=308%

2.6=2 6/10

0.25%=0.0025

Answer:

They are actually in the correct order left to right !

Step-by-step explanation:

1/500 is 0.002 because 0.002 is pronounced "two thousandths" and 0.001 is pronounced "one thousandth", but it's written as 0.001 OR the fraction 1/1000! Using this you can infer that "two thousandths" is twice as large as 1/1000.

1/25 is 0.04, so 2/25 is 0.08 add the 3 and get 3.08. When displayed percentages in decimal form 100% = 1, so 300% = 3, therefore 308% = 3.08.

In the number 2.6 the decimal .6 is in the TENTHS place and so you can formally say this as "two and six tenths", which how the fraction 2 6/10 is also said!

As stated above when displaying percentages in decimal form:

100% = 1,

25% = 0.25,

1% = 0.01,

0.25% = 0.0025!

A company is replacing cables with fiber optic lines in rectangular casing BCDE. If segment DE = 3 cm and segment BE = 3.5 cm, what is the smallest diameter of pipe that will fit the fiber optic line? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer: 3.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation: Given a rectangular casing BCDE with segment DE = 3 cm and segment BE = 3.5 cm.

The area A of a rectangle is length multiply by width.

Where length L = 3.5 cm and

width W = 3 cm

Area A = 3.5 × 3 = 10.5 cm^2

The pipe that will fit the fiber optic line is in cylindrical shape. Where area of a cylinder = πr^2.

But area A = 10.5. Substitute the values for the area of the cylinder

10.5 = πr^2

10.5 = 3.143 × r^2

Make r^2 the subject of formula

r^2 = 10.5/3.143

r = sqrt ( 3.34225 )

r = 1.828

Diameter = 2 × radius

Diameter = 2 × 1.829

Diameter = 3.656 cm

Therefore, the smallest diameter of pipe that will fit the fiber optic line is 3.66 cm approximately.
