Answer:

C. $3\leq R\leq 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R represent range, in inches, of the possible rainfall in July.

We have been given that the average July rainfall in a city is 7 inches , but the actual rainfall may vary by as much as 4 inches.

We will use tolerance formula to solve our given problem.

$|\text{Actual}-\text{Ideal}|\leq\text{Tolerance}$

$|R-7|\leq4$

Using absolute value rule $|u|\leq a$ , then $-a\leq u\leq a$ , we will get:

$-4\leq R-7\leq4$

$-4+7\leq R-7+7\leq4+7$

$3\leq R\leq 11$

Therefore, option C represents range, in inches, of the possible rainfall in July.

The law of cosines is used to find the measure of Z.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

C. $Z=51^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a triangle. We are asked to find the measure of angle Z using Law of cosines.

Law of cosines: $c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cdot \text{cos}(C)$ , where, a, b and c are sides opposite to angles A, B and C respectively.

Upon substituting our given values in law of cosines, we will get:

$16^2=19^2+18^2-2(19)(18)\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$256=361+324-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$256=685-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$256-685=685-685-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$-429=-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)$

$\frac{-429}{-684}=\frac{-684\cdot \text{cos}(Z)}{-684}$

$0.627192982456=\text{cos}(Z)$

$\text{cos}(Z)=0.627192982456$

Now, we will use inverse cosine or arc-cos to solve for angle Z as:

$Z=\text{cos}^{-1}(0.627192982456)$

$Z=51.1566718^{\circ}$

$Z\approx 51^{\circ}$

Therefore, the measure of angle Z is approximately 51 degrees.

A silk ribbon costs $5.60 for 0.8m. Find the constant of variation.

Minchanka [31]

Answer: The constant of variation value of 7.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given cost of 0.8 meter of a silk ribbon = $5.60.

Let us assume y be the total cost for x meter of a silk ribbon and k is the constant of variation.

So, we can set up an equation for proportion relationship:

y = k x.

<em>Let us plug x=0.8 and y= 5.60,</em> in above proportion relationship equation, we get

5.60 = k (0.8).

Dividing both sides by 0.8, we get

5.60/0.8 = k(0.8)/0.8

k =7.

Therefore, the constant of variation value of 7.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: D) It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is y2-y1/x2-x1

20-10/7-7

10/0
