a. y = -6/5x + 4

b. y = 1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5y = 20 - 6x

y = 20/5 - 6/5x

y = -6/5x + 4

-8y = -4x + 16

y = -4/-8x + 16/-8

y = 1/2x -2

[Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
[Right Triangles Only] cosθ = adjacent over hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Angle θ = x

Adjacent Leg = 5.8

Hypotenuse = 7.3

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute in variables [Cosine]: $\displaystyle cosx^\circ = \frac{5.8}{7.3}$
[Fraction] Divide: $\displaystyle cosx^\circ = 0.794521$
[Equality Property] Trig inverse: $\displaystyle x^\circ = cos^{-1}(0.794521)$
Evaluate trig inverse: $\displaystyle x = 37.39^\circ$
Round: $\displaystyle x \approx 37.4^\circ$

When taking skinfold measurement readings only one attempt per site is necessary for an accurate reading.a. Trueb. False

Eva8 [605]

Answer: False

It is specifically taken from the right side of the body,where the person pinches out the Skinfolds away from the body by attaching a caliper ,this is to ensure that only the fatty laters are considered, it is mainly presented in percentage.

Water is leaking out of a large barrel at a rate proportional to the square rooot of the depth of the water at that time. If the

sdas [7]

Answer:

It will take about 35.49 hours for the water to leak out of the barrel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $y(t)$ be the depth of water in the barrel at time $t$ , where $y$ is measured in inches and $t$ in hours.

We know that water is leaking out of a large barrel at a rate proportional to the square root of the depth of the water at that time. We then have that

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-k\sqrt{y}$
