Your answer is no solution (because a negative square root doesn't exist)
first, you divide all sides by five and then take b, half it then square it

The depth of a lake is 15.8m

Leya [2.2K]

a. Jada got the measurement 16m.

b. The measured depth differ 0.2m from the actual depth.

c. There is a 12.66% error in calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The depth of lake = 15.8 m

a. Jada accurately measured the depth of the lake to the nearest meter. What measurement did Jada get

When a digit after the decimal point is 5 or more than that, the number before decimal is rounded to the next number.

Therefore,

15.8 rounded to nearest number is 16.

The depth of lake measured by Jada = 16 m

Jada got the measurement 16m.

b. By how many meters does the measured depth differ from the actual depth?

Difference = Approx - Exact

Difference = 16 - 15.8 = 0.2m

The measured depth differ 0.2m from the actual depth.

c. Express the measurement error ad a percentage of the actual depth.

Percent error = $\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}*100$

Percent error = $\frac{|2|}{15.8}*100 = \frac{200}{15.8}$

Percent error = 12.66%

There is a 12.66% error in calculation.

1. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

#1) y = -4x + 1; #2) parallel; #3) y = -1/2x + 5/2; #4) y = 2x + 4; #5) Never

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) We want a line that passes through (1, -3) and is parallel to y = 2-4(x-1). First we simplify our equation using the distributive property:

y = 2-4(x-1) = 2-4(x) -4(-1) = 2-4x--4 = 2-4x + 4 = -4x + 6

Lines that are parallel have the same slope; this means we want a line through (1, -3) with a slope of -4. Using point-slope form,

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y--3=-4(x-1)\\\\y+3=-4(x)-4(-1)\\\\y+3=-4x+4\\\\y+3-3=-4x+4-3\\\\y=-4x+1$

#2) We must first write our second equation in slope-intercept form by isolating the y term:

2x+y=7

Subtract 2x from each side"

2x+y-2x = 7-2x

y = -2x+7

This means the slope is -2; the slopes are the same, so the lines are parallel.

#3) The slope of our given equation is 2. To be perpendicular, the second line must have a slope that is a negative reciprocal (flipped and opposite signs); this makes it -1/2. Using point-slope form,

$y-0=\frac{-1}{2}(x-5)\\\\y=\frac{-1}{2}(x)+\frac{-1}{2}(-5)\\\\y=\frac{-1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}$

#4) The slope of Main Street on the diagram, found by using rise/run, is 2. This means the bike path will also have a slope of 2 in order to be parallel. The park entrance is at (0, 4). This makes the equation y = 2x+4.

#5) Two lines with the same slope are always parallel. They are never perpendicular.
