Question 3

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: y = -6x + 2

m = y_2 - y_1
/ x_2 - x_1

-10 - 8
/ 2 - (-1)

= -18/3 = -6

m (slope) = -6

y = mx + b
y = -6x +b

Find b using (-1,8)
y = -6x +b
8 = -6(-1) + b
8 = 6 + b
-6 -6
2 = b

Final answer: y = -6x + 2

To check using one of the points: (-1,8) or (2,-10)
y = -6x + 2
-10 = -6(2) + 2
-10 = -12 + 2
-10 = -10
This is a true statement.

You have a garden in your backyard that measures 15 meters by 20 meters. You want to place stepping stones around the perimeter

Anettt [7]

Answer:

0.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions of the garden are 15 meters by 20 meters.

The area of the new garden (original garden + stone placed around the perimeter) is 336m².

Let d be the width of the border having stepping stones as shown in the figure. The shaded region in the figure is the area having stepping stones.

The area including the shaded region $= (15+2d)(20+2d) m^2$

$\Rightarrow 336 = (15+2d)(20+2d) \\\\\Rightarrow 336 = 300+ 70 d +4d^2 \\\\\Rightarrow 4d^2 +70d+300-336=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 4d^2 +70d-36=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 2d^2 +35d-18=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 2d^2 +36d-d-18=0 \\\\\Rightarrow (2d-1)(d+18)=0 \\\\\Rightarrow (2d-1)=0, \; or \; (d+18) \\\\\Rightarrow d= 0.5\;or -18 \\\\$

As the width of the stone border can't be a negative value, so taking the positive value.

Hence, the width of the stone border is 0.5 m.

So, the wi

Identify the exact value of 157.5°

steposvetlana [31]

<span>exact value of sin 157.5 without using a calculator
sin(157.5)=sin(315/2)
Identity: sin(x/2)=±√[(1-cosx)/2]
select positive identity since 175 is in the 2nd quadrant where sin>0
sin(315/2)=√[(1-cos315)/2]

cos 315=cos45 in quadrant IV=√2/2
sin(315/2)=√[(1-√2/2)/2]=√[(2-√2)/4]=√(2-√2)/2
sin(157.5)=√(2-√2)/2
check using calculator:
sin157.5º≈0.382...
√(2-√2)/2≈0.382...</span>
