Y = mx + c

7= (-5)(-2)+ c

7= 10 +c

7-10=c

-3=c

Equation of the line: y = -5x-3

Sub in (a, 2)

2= - 5(a)-3

2+3= -5a

5= - 5a

1= - a

A = -1

Manuel wants to build a model of Captain America's famous shield out of cardboard. The outer ring of the shield is colored red.

zmey [24]

Answer:

615.44 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of Captain America's shield = Circular

The area of a circle = πr²

The radius of the whole shield = 14 inches.

The first ring = Red ring

Hence, the area of the red ring =

π = 3.14

3.14 × 14²

= 615.44 in²

The area of the space he needs to paint red is 615.44 in²

Forensic specialists can estimate the height of a deceased person from the lengths of the person's bones. These lengths are subs

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an inequality that relates the height h, in centimeters, of an adult female and the length f, in centimeters, of her femur by the equation

$|h - (2.47f + 54.10)| \leq 3.72$

If an adult female measures her femur as 32.25 centimeters, we can determine the possible range of her height by plugging f = 32.25cm into the modelled equation as shown:

$|h - (2.47(32.25) + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (79.9045 + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (134.0045)| \leq 3.72\\$

If the modulus function is positive then:

$h - 134.0045 \leq 3.72\\h \leq 3.71+134.0045\\h\leq 137.7245$

If the modulus function is negative then:

$-(h - 134.0045) \leq 3.72\\-h+134.0045 \leq 3.72\\-h\leq 3.72-134.0045\\-h\leq -130.2845\\$

multiply through by -1

$-(-h)\geq -(-130.2845)\\h\geq 130.2845\\130.2845\leq h$

combining the resulting inequalities, the estimate of the possible range of heights will be $130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245$
