Answer:

6.41 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation is y=ax^2

y=15

x=16.5

15=a(16.5)^2

a=0.055

So, to get depth at 4 ft from edge, I assume my new x value is 12.5.

Derived from 16.5 - 4 = 12.5

So:

y= 0.055 * (12.5)^2

y = 8.59

To get depth, I assume subtract from center depth of 15ft.

15ft - 8.59ft = 6.41ft

Answer is 6.41ft.

The line with x-intercept of 10 and y-<br> intercept of -2.
Yuri [45]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5} x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ = x- intercept (10, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = y- intercept (0, - 2)

m = \frac{-2-0}{0-10} = \frac{-2}{-10} = \frac{1}{5}

The y- intercept c = - 2

y = \frac{1}{5} x - 2 ← equation of line

Aziza has a triangle with two sides measuring 11 in. and 15 in. She claims that the third side can be any length as long as it i
irina [24]

Answer:

Aziza’s claim is incomplete. The third side must be between 4 in. and 26 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the Triangle Inequality Theorem, saying that the sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. With this we can develop two inequalities:

11 + 15 > x

26 > x

rewrite this as x < 26

11 + x > 15

x > 15 - 11   Subtract 11 from both sides

x > 4

Therefore, the third side can be anywhere greater than 4 inches and less than and less than 26 inches.

4 <  x < 26
