Answer:

y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The level of a lake is falling linearly.

On Jan 1, the level is 452 inches

On Jan 21, the level is 378 inches.

Now, a linear function can be represented in the form:

y=mx+b

Where, 'm' is the rate of change and 'b' is initial level

x\to number\ of\ days\ passed\ since\ Jan\ 1

y\to Lake\ level

So, let Jan 1 corresponds to the initial level and thus b = 452 in

Now, the rate of change is given as the ratio of the change in level of lake to the number of days passed.

So, from Jan 1 to Jan 21, the days passed is 21.

Change in level = Level on Jan 21 - Level on Jan 1

Change in level = 378 in - 452 in = -74 in

Now, rate of change is given as:

m=\frac{-74}{21}

Hence, the function to represent the lake level is y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Where, 'x' is the number of days passed since Jan 1.

Stella divided 12/8.

If we divide 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5.

Let us check given options one by one .

A) Stella made an error : Stella didn't made an error because it's just division of two numbers.

B) The answer is exactly 1.5.  : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5, so this option is correct.

C) The calculator rounded the answer. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5. So, no rounding is required.

D) The calculator truncated the answer. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5. So, no truncation in the answer.

Therefore, correct option is B) The answer is exactly 1.5.

Answer:

n=3

Step-by-step explanation:

64^(1/3)

Note that the exponent 1/3 given stands for the third root of the integer.

64^(1/3) =4

Check: 4 x 4 x 4 = 64

(By comparison of 64^(1/3) to 64^(1/n) means n= 3)

∜(64^(1/3)) =∜(4) = 1.41421356

The real number is

All the roots are:

1.41421356

1.41421356i

−1.41421356

−1.41421356i

4 is not a perfect 4th power.
