A man is twice as old as his son. Five years ago, the ratio of their ages was 9:4. Find the son's present age

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Son's age is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Father's age be 2x.

Let the son's age be x.

Five years ago:

Man's age will be = 2x - 5

Son's age will be = x - 5

If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then:

2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4

⇒ 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)

⇒ 8x - 20 = 9x - 45

⇒ -20 + 45 = 9x - 8x

⇒ 25 = x

∴ x = 25

Hence, the son's age = 25 years

If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50 years

Solve the equation using the zero-product property.

(x-8)(5x-6)=0

A. x = 8 or x = -1 1/5

B. x = –8 or x = 1 1/5

C. x = –1 or x = 5

D. x = 8 or x = 1 1/5

Answers

Answer:

D. x = 8 or x = 1 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 8 6/5

x = 8 1/5

zero-product property says to equate each factors to 0 .

so the factors in (x − 8)(5x − 6) = 0

are (x-8) and (5x-6)

hence equating them to 0

x-8 =0 or 5x-6 =0

x=8  or 5x=6

x=8 or x=6/5

x=8 or x= 1 and 1/5

Answer:

A power raised to a power: multiply the exponents.

= 7^(32)

Answer: D.

7^32, the fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

For the power rule, if you have a number to a power, for example [tex]x^{a}[/tex] and raise it to another power so it becomes, [tex](x^{a} )^{b}[/tex], We simplify by multiplying the powers together. So the simplified answer would be [tex]x^{(a*b)}[/tex].

make x the subject a=7x/k-r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = [tex]\frac{7x}{k-r}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by (k - r) )

a(k - r) = 7x ( divide both sides by 7 )

[tex]\frac{a(k-r)}{7}[/tex] = x

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (13-4)/(4-1)

    = 9/3

   = 3

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 3x+b

Using a point from the table

10 = 3(3)+b

10 =9+b

10-9 =b

1=b

y = 3x+1

What should I write?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we have (m*x+d)², with m and d representing constant values (a number). If we expand, we can see that

(m*x+d)² = (m*x+d) * (m*x+d) = m²*x²+2*m*x*d + d². Matching that up with

ax²+bx+c, the value multiplied by x² in our factored perfect square is m² (so m²=a), the value multiplied by x is 2md ( so 2md = b), and the constant is d².

Going back to the problem, we want to see how the values of a and c correspond with a perfect square trinomial. In our perfect square of (m*x+d)², our resulting trinomial has m² = a and d² = c. This points to the fact that a must be a square of something (for example, if a = 1, √1=1, so this works) as well as c if they are part of a perfect square trinomial. If a and c are both squares of other numbers, then it is possible that ax²+bx+c is a perfect square trinomial. If they are not, then it is not possible

The ratio of Mitchell's age to Connor's age is 8:5. In thirty years, the ratio of their ages will be 6:5. How much older is Mitchell than Connor now?

Answers

Answer:

9 years older

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of their ages is 8 : 5 = 8x : 5x ( x is a multiplier )

In 30 years their ages will be 8x + 30 and 5x + 30 and the ratio 6 : 5 , so

[tex]\frac{8x+30}{5x+30}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

5(8x + 30) = 6(5x + 30) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

40x + 150 = 30x + 180 ( subtract 30x from both sides )

10x + 150 = 180 ( subtract 150 from both sides )

10x = 30 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 3

Then

Michell is 8x = 8 × 3 = 24 years old

Connor is 5x = 5 × 3 = 15 years old

Mitchell is 24 - 15 = 9 years older than Connor

Mathematically speaking, a translation is defined by the following operation:

Where:

[tex]P(x,y)[/tex] - Original point.[tex]T(x,y)[/tex] - Translation vector.[tex]P'(x,y)[/tex] - Resulting point.

If we know that [tex]P(x,y) = (-3, 9)[/tex] and [tex]T(x,y) = (10, -7)[/tex], then the resulting point is:

[tex]P'(x,y) = (-3, 9) + (10, -7)[/tex]

[tex]P'(x,y) = (7, 2)[/tex]

Hence, the image of (-3, 9) is (7,2).

Answer: x³+8x²+11x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which polynomial has the roots of -5, -4, and 1, we want to first put them into an equation.

-5 is the same as x+5=0

-4 is the same as x+4=0

1 is the same as x-1=0

Now that we have the factors, we can multiply them together.

(x+5)(x+4)(x-1)                  [FOIL]

(x²+4x+5x+20)(x-1)          [combine like terms]

(x²+9x+20)(x-1)                 [FOIL]

x³-x²+9x²-9x+20x-20       [combine like terms]

x³+8x²+11x-20

Therefore, x³+8x²+11x-20 is the correct polynomial with those roots.
