Elliot is 2 times as old as Tanya. 10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya​. How old is Elliot now?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we are going to make an age table:

                       Age Now                 Age 10 years ago

Tanya

Elliot

Filling the in the Age Now column comes from the first sentence. If Elliot is 2 times Tanya's age and we don't know Tanya's age, then Tanya's age is x and Elliot's age is 2x:

            Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya         x

Elliot         2x

Filling in the Age 10 years ago column simply requires that we take their ages in the Age Now column and subtract 10 from each age:

         Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya     x                              x - 10

Elliot      2x                           2x - 10

Since the question is How old is Elliot now based on the fact that 10 years ago....blah, blah, blah, we are using the ages in the 10 years ago column to write our equation. It says:

10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya. Translated into mathspeak:

2x - 10 = 4(x - 10) and

2x - 10 = 4x - 40 and

-2x = -30 so

x = 15. That means that Elliot is 30 and Tanya is 15

Find the vertical asymptotes of the function (x-1)(x-3)^2(x+1)^2/(x-2)(x+2)(x-1)(x+3)​

Answers

Answer:

x=2, x=-2, x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

-check if anything simplifies

(x-1)(x-3)²(x+1)² / (x-2)(x+2)(x-1)(x+3), simplify (x-1)

(x-3)²(x+1)² / (x-2)(x+2)(x+3)

-make the denominator 0 to find the asymptotes

(x-2)(x+2)(x+3) = 0

(x-2) =0 gives x = 2 asymptote

(x+2) =0 gives x= -2 asymptote

(x+3) = 0 gives x=- 3 asymptote

Find the missing length the triangles are similar.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing length is 13 because,

Lets say the top triangle is A and the bottom triangle is B.

Triangle A gives us the side GF, and Triangle B gives us the sides TU and ST. Since the triangles are similar(as stated in the problem), we can pair 2 sides GF(A) and TU(B) which is 11:22.(one way I usually figure which sides are similar is by first- matching the hypotenuse, then checking which of the remaining two is longer.. if that made any sense). You can see that their relationship is x2 or /2 (In another word, from A to B is multiplication- ex: 11 * 2 is 22, and from B to A is division- ex 22/2 is 11.) Since the missing number is the hypotenuse of triangle A and you know the Hypotenuse of triangle B all you have to do is divide side TS by 2 to get side SF. So the missing side is 13.

Answer: 13

find the distance of gap d

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle d \approx 15.8768[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the distance of d or AB.

From the right triangle with a 35° angle, we know that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan 35^\circ = \frac{50}{PB}[/tex]

And from the right triangle with a 42° angle, we know that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan 42^\circ = \frac{50}{PA}[/tex]

AB is PA subtracted from PB. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle d = AB = PB - PA[/tex]

From the first two equations, solve for PB and PA:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\tan 35^\circ } = \frac{PB}{50} \Rightarrow PB = \frac{50}{\tan 35^\circ}[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\tan 42^\circ } = \frac{PA}{50} \Rightarrow PA = \frac{50}{\tan 42^\circ}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle d = AB = \frac{50}{\tan 35^\circ} - \frac{50}{\tan 42^\circ}[/tex]

Using a calculator:

[tex]\displaystyle d= AB \approx 15.8768[/tex]

24 = 2x

Divide by 2

24/2 =2x/2

12=x

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

When two shapes are similar, you need to find the scale factor of two existing corresponding sides.

For example, you can do 6 and 2.

Divide:

6/2 = 3

The scale factor: 3

Now multiply 4 and the scale factor (3):

4 × 3 = 12

So, x = 12.

Find the shortest side of a triangle whose perimeter is 64 if the ratio of two of its sides is 4:3 and the third side is 20 less than the sum if the other two

Answers

Answer:

The shortest side of the triangle is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides the triangle be x, y and z.

From the question, the perimeter of the rectangle is 64, that is

x + y + z = 64 ...... (1)

Also, the ratio of two of its sides is 4:3, that is x:y = 4:3, then we can write that x/y = 4/3 ⇒ 3x = 4y ...... (2)

The third side, z, is 20 less than the sum of the other two, that is

z + 20 = x + y ...... (3)

Substitute equation (3) into (1)

Then,

z + 20 + z = 64

2z +20 = 64

2z = 64 - 20

2z = 44

z = 44/2 k

z = 22

From equation (3)

z + 20 = x + y

Then, k

22 + 20 = x +y

42 = x + y

x = 42 - y ...... (4)

Substitute this into equation 2

3x = 4y

3(42-y) = 4y

126 - 3y = 4y

4y + 3y = 126

7y = 126

y = 126/7

y = 18

Substitute this into equation (4)

x = 42 - y

x = 42 - 18

x = 24

∴ x = 24, y = 18 and z = 22

Hence, the shortest side of the triangle is 18.

Answers

Answer:

4/5 or 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

this problem description is not very precise. it leaves out the definition what corners or sides of JKLM correspond to corners and sides of ABCD.

I assume J and K correlate to A and B, and JK is a long side of JKLM.

so, we are going from JKLM to ABCD.

that means we are going from larger to smaller (as JK = 15 and therefore larger than AB = 12).

what is the scale factor to go from 15 to 12 ?

15 × x = 12

x = 12/15 = 4/5 or 0.8

In a survey of women in a certain country the mean height was 62.9 inches with a standard deviation of 2.81 inches answer the followinv questions about the specified normal distribution

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In a survey of women in a certain country ( ages 20-29), the mean height was 62.9 inches with a standard deviation of 2.81 inches.  Answer the following questions about the specified normal distribution.  (a) What height represents the 99th percentile?  (b) What height represents the first quartile?  (Round to two decimal places as needed)

Solution :

Let the random variable X represents the height of women in a country.

Given :

X is normal with mean, μ = [tex]62.9[/tex] inches and the standard deviation, σ = [tex]2.81[/tex] inches

Let,

[tex]$Z=\frac{X - 62.9}{2.81}$[/tex] , then Z is a standard normal

a). Let the [tex]99th[/tex] percentile is = a

The point a is such that,

[tex]$P(X<a)=0.99$[/tex]

[tex]$P \left( Z < \frac{a-62.9}{2.81} \right) = 0.99$[/tex]

From standard table, we get : [tex]P( Z < 2.3263) =0.99[/tex]

∴ [tex]$\frac{(a-62.9)}{281} = 2.3263$[/tex]

  [tex]$a= (2.3263 \times 2.81 ) +62.9$[/tex]

     = 6.536903 + 62.9

     = 69.436903

     = 69.5 (rounding off)

Therefore, the height represents the [tex]99th[/tex] percentile = 69.5 inches.

b). Let b = height represents the first quartile.

It is given by :

[tex]P( X < b) =0.25[/tex]

[tex]$P \left( Z < \frac{(b-62.9)}{2.81} \right) = 0.25$[/tex]

From the standard normal table,

[tex]P( Z < -0.6745) =0.99[/tex]

∴ [tex]$\frac{(b-62.9)}{2.81}= 0.6745$[/tex]

[tex]$b=(0.6745 \times 2.81) +62.9$[/tex]

  = 1.895345 + 62.9

   = 64.795345

   = 64.8 (rounding off)

Therefore, the height represents the 1st quartile is 64.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

When translating a graph, adding the number of units shifts the graph to the left and subtracting the number of units shifts it to the right. Since you need the graph translated 9 units to the left, you will need to add that many units to x

therefore, g(x)=x+9

Answers

The quadratic equation that could be solved using the given application of the quadratic formula is x² + 2x - 1 = 3, which in standard form is x² + 2x - 4 = 0. Hence, option C is the right choice.

What is the quadratic formula?

A standard quadratic equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, can be solved using the quadratic formula, which is given as:

[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are asked for the quadratic equation, which could be solved using this application of the quadratic formula:

[tex]x = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-4)} }{2(1)}[/tex]

To find the quadratic equation for which we use the quadratic formula

[tex]x = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-4)} }{2(1)}[/tex]

we compare this equation with the standard quadratic formula,

[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

to get a = 1, b = 2, and c = -4, to get the standard quadratic equation, ax² + bx + c = 0, as (1)x² + (2)x + (-4) = 0, or x² + 2x - 4 = 0.

Now, we convert the given options in the standard form to check for the correct choice:

A. x² + 1 = 2x - 3 ⇒ x² - 2x + 4 = 0, which is not the correct choice.B . x² - 2x - 1 = 3 ⇒ x² - 2x - 4 = 0, which is not the correct choice.C. x² + 2x - 1 = 3 ⇒ x² + 2x - 4 = 0, which is the correct choice.D. x² + 2x - 1 = -3 ⇒ x² + 2x + 2 = 0, which is not the correct choice.

Thus, the quadratic equation that could be solved using the given application of the quadratic formula is x² + 2x - 1 = 3, which in standard form is x² + 2x - 4 = 0. Hence, option C is the right choice.
