Please help me: A cereal company fills boxes with 16 ounces of cereal. The acceptable percent error in filling a box is 2.5%. Fi

16.4 would be the greatest and 15.6 would be the least due to 2.5% equaling 0.4 and adding and subtracting it from 16.

Which equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x − 4y = 7 and passes through the point (−4, −2)? Select two options.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

2 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx-b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The point-slope form of a line is y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

The standard form a line is ax+by=c.

So anyways parallel lines have the same slope.

So if we are looking for a line parallel to 3x-4y=7 then we need to know the slope of this line so we can find the slope of our parallel line.

3x-4y=7

Goal: Put into slope-intercept form

3x-4y=7

Subtract 3x on both sides:

-4y=-3x+7

Divide both sides by -4:

$y=\frac{-3}{-4}x+\frac{7}{-4}$

Simplify:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{-7}{4}$

So the slope of this line is 3/4. So our line that is parallel to this one will have this same slope.

So we know our line should be in the form of $y=\frac{3}{4}x+b$ .

To find b we will use the point that is suppose to be on our new line here which is (x,y)=(-4,-2).

So plugging this in to solve for b now:

$-2=\frac{3}{4}(-4)+b$

$-2=-3+b$

$3-2=b$

$b=1$

so the equation of our line in slope-intercept form is $y=\frac{3}{4}x+1$

So that isn't option 1 because the slope is different. That was the only option that was in slope-intercept form.

The standard form of a line is ax+by=c and we have 2 options that look like that.

So let's rearrange the line that we just found into that form.

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+1$

Clear the fractions because we only want integer coefficients by multiplying both sides by 4.

This gives us:

$4y=3x+4$

Subtract 3x on both sides:

$-3x+4y=4$

I don't see this option either.

Multiply both sides by -1:

$3x-4y=-4$

I do see this as a option. So far the only option that works is 2.

Let's look at point slope form now.

We had the point that our line went through was (x1,y1)=(-4,-2) and the slope,m, was 3/4 (we found this earlier).

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Plug in like so:

y-(-2)=3/4(x-(-4))

y+2=3/4 (x+4)

So option 5 looks good too.

A farmer has a 100 ft by 200 ft rectangular field that he wants to increase by 15.5% by cultivating a strip of uniform width aro

Advocard [28]

Answer:

(a) The strip should be 5ft wide

(b) The strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the rectangular field, L= 200 ft

width of the rectangular field, w = 100 ft

Area of the rectangular field, A = 200ft x 100ft = 20000 ft^2

let the width of the strip = x

The strip around the outside field = 2x

If the field is increased by 15.5%

New area of the field = 1.155 x 20000 = 23,100 ft^2

The increase in area of the field = 3,100 ft

3,100 = New area of field - old area of the field

3100 = (200 + 2x)(100 + 2x) - 20000

3100 = 20000 + 400x 200x + 4x^2 - 20000

3100 = 600x + 4x^2

Divide through by 4

775 = 150x + x^2

x^2 + 150x - 775 = 0

Factorize

(x + 155)(x-5) = 0

x = 5 ft

The strip should be 5ft wide.

The strip around the outside field = 2 x 5 ft = 10 ft

Thus, the strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.
