PLEASEEEE HELPPP i can’t get it

The ideal width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is 5 cm. An actual width can vary by at most 0.35 cm. Write and

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual width of belt be x

we are given that the ideal width of safety belt strap is 5 cm

So, Difference between actual and ideal = (x-5)cm

We are also given that An actual width can vary by at most 0.35 cm.

So, The difference between actual and ideal width should be less than or equal to 0.35 cm

So, $|x-5|\leq 0.35$

We know

$x-5\leq 0.35$ and $x-5\geq -0.35$

$x\leq 0.35+5$ and $x\geq -0.35+5$

$x\leq 5.35$ and $x\geq 4.65$

So, $4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$

Hence the range of acceptable widths is $4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$

A given line has the equation 10x + 2y = −2.

worty [1.4K]

The equation is $\boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }$

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

This case asking the end result in the form of a slope-intercept.

<u>Step-1: find out the gradient. </u>

10x + 2y = -2

We isolate the y variable on the left side. Subtract both sides by 10x, we get:

2y = - 10x - 2

Divide both sides by two

y = -5x -1

The slope-intercept form is $\boxed{ \ y = mx + c \ }$ , with the coefficient m as a gradient. Therefore, the gradient is m = -5.

If you want a shortcut to find a gradient from the standard form, implement this:

$\boxed{ \ ax + by = k \rightarrow m = - \frac{a}{b} \ }$

10x + 2y = −2 ⇒ a = 10, b = 2

$\boxed{m = - \frac{10}{2} \rightarrow m = -5}$

<u>Step-2:</u> the conditions of the two parallel lines

The gradient of parallel lines is the same $\boxed{ \ m_1 = m_2 \ }$ . So $\boxed{m_1 = m_2 = -5}.$

<u>Final step:</u> figure out the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the parallel line to the given line and passes through the point (0, 12)

We use the point-slope form.

$\boxed{ \ \boxed{ \ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)} \ }$

Given that

m = -5
(x₁, y₁) = (0, 12)

y - 12 = - 5(x - 0)

y - 12 = - 5x

After adding both sides by 12, the results is $\boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }$

<u>Alternative steps </u>

Substitutes m = -5 and (0, 12) to slope-intercept form $\boxed{ \ y = mx + c \ }$

12 = -5(0) + c

Constant c is 12 then arrange the slope-intercept form.

Similar results as above, i.e. $\boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }$

$\boxed{Standard \ form: ax + by = c, with \ a > 0}$

$\boxed{Point-slope \ form: y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}$

$\boxed{Slope-intercept \ form: y = mx + k}$
