Answer:

The percent error in this measurement is 0.194%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A radar gun measured the speed of a baseball at 103 miles per hour. If the baseball was actually going 102.8 miles per hour.

To find : What was the percent error in this measurement?

Solution :

The actual speed is 103 miles per hour.

The estimated speed is 102.8 miles per hour.

The percentage is given by,

\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Actual-Estimated}}{\text{Actual}}\times 100

\text{Percentage}=\frac{103-102.8}{102.8}\times 100

\text{Percentage}=\frac{0.2}{102.8}\times 100

\text{Percentage}=0.194\%

Therefore, the percent error in this measurement is 0.194%.

a triangle has sides of 4 and 6 units. The measurement of the longest side is missing.Ted says that one possibility for the unkn
tester [92]
This is called the pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
Basically, the sum of one side squared + the side of another side squared = the length of the longest side (or hypotenuse).

We have to do the following math:
4 * 4 = 16
6 * 6 = 36
16 + 36 = 52.

We know that 52 = c^2
So we have to \sqrt{c} to get 7.21

You do not agree with Ted.

The segments shown below could form a triangle.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem says that the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. Let's see if this is true.

a + b

9 + 1 = 10>9

a + c

9 + 9 = 18>1

c + b

9 + 1 = 10>9

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the given differential equation. Use reduction of order or formula (5) in Section
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y2 = C1xe^(4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y1 = e^(4x) is a solution to the differential equation

y'' - 8y' + 16y = 0

We want to find the second solution y2 of the equation using the method of reduction of order.

Let

y2 = uy1

Because y2 is a solution to the differential equation, it satisfies

y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 = 0

y2 = ue^(4x)

y2' = u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)

y2'' = u''e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)

= u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)

Using these,

y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 =

[u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)] - 8[u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)] + 16ue^(4x) = 0

u''e^(4x) = 0

Let w = u', then w' = u''

w'e^(4x) = 0

w' = 0

Integrating this, we have

w = C1

But w = u'

u' = C1

Integrating again, we have

u = C1x

But y2 = ue^(4x)

y2 = C1xe^(4x)

And this is the second solution
