Bill is 6 years older than Tom. Three years ago bulls age was four times toms age. Find the age of each boy now

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Tom is currently 5 and Bill is currently 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = Bill's current age

Let t = Tom's current age

We have 2 unknowns so we need to equations to solve for this.

b = t + 6  

(b-3) = 4(t-3)  We have to subtract 3 from both Tom and Bill's current age

b- 3 = 4t - 12  Distribute the 4 and then substitute in t + 6 for b.

t + 6 -3 = 4t -12  Combine like terms

t + 3 = 4t -12  Subtract t from both sides of the equation

3 = 3t - 12  Add 12 to both sides of the equation

15 = 3t  Divide both sides by 3

5 = t  Tom is 5.  Since Bill is 6 years old, her is 11.

Check:

11 = 5+ 6

Three years ago, Tom would have been 2 and Bill would have been 8.  Bill is four times older than Tom.  2x4 = 8.

You make an investment of $2250.00 with an absolute change of ―$350.00. What is your investment now
worth and what was the percent change?

Answers

1. The investment of $2,250 with an absolute change of -$350 is now worth $1,900.

2. The percentage change in the worth of the investment is -15.56%.

What is a percentage change?

A percentage change refers to the percentage difference between the initial value and the current value.

To compute the percentage change, use the absolute change and divide by the initial value, then multiply by 100.

For this investment of $2,250 which is now worth $1,900, there was a percentage change of -15.56%, implying that it has drastically reduced in value.

Initial Investment Cost = $2,250.00

Absolute change in investment value = $350

Current value of investment = $1,900 ($2,250 + $350)

The percentage change = -15.56% (-$350/$2,250 x 100)

Thus, the investment is currently valued at $1,900, having lost $350 in value, which in percentage terms, is -15.56%.

We have the following quadratic equation:

[tex]x^2+6x+5=0[/tex]

And we have to use the quadratic equation to solve that equation.

1. To find the solutions, we need to start by using the quadratic equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \text{ when }ax^2+bx+c=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

2. Identify a, b, and c from the given quadratic equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+6x+5=0 \\ \\ a=1,b=6,c=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

3. Apply the quadratic equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{6^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

4. And now, we can develop it as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{36-20}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{16}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{-6\pm4}{2} \\ \\ \text{ Therefore:} \\ \\ x=\frac{-6+4}{2}=-\frac{2}{2}=-1 \\ \\ x=-1 \\ \\ x=\frac{-6-4}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5 \\ \\ x=-5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, we finally have two solutions, x = -1, and x = -5.

Then the first step is given by:

[tex]x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{6^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

Prove that,if one root of the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 is twice the other,then 2b^2=9ac

The proof of the quadratic equation is represented by the equation 18(m₂)² = 18(m₂)²

What are quadratic equations?

Quadratic equations are second-order polynomial equations and they have the form y = ax² + bx + c or y = a(x - h)² + k

How to prove the roots of the quadratic equation?

The quadratic equation is given as

ax² + bx + c = 0

From the question, we understand that

One of the roots is twice the other

This means that

m₁ = 2m₂

Where m₁ and m₂ are the roots of the quadratic equation

The quadratic equation is then represented as

(x - m₁) * (x - m₂) = 0

Substitute m₁ = 2m₂ in the equation (x - x₁) * (x - x₂) = 0

So, we have

(x - 2m₂) * (x - m₂) = 0

Expand the brackets

So, we have

x² - 2xm₂ - xm₂ + 2(m₂)² = 0

Evaluate the sum and the difference.

So, we have

x² - 3xm₂ + 2(m2)² = 0

In the above equation, we have

a = 1

b = -3m2

c = 2(m₂)²

Recall that

2b² = 9ac

So, we have

2 * (-3m₂)² = 9 * 1 * 2(m₂)²

Evaluate

18(m₂)² = 18(m₂)²

The above equation is true

Hence, it is true that if one root of the equation ax² + bx + c = 0 is twice the other, then 2b² = 9ac

Which equation best represents the relationship between x and y?

Answers

(A) The equation y = ( 1/4 )x + 2 best represents the relationship between x and y.

From the graph, we can see that the line is passing through points ( - 8, 0 ) and ( 0, 2 ).

So, to obtain the equation that represents the best relationship we will substitute the points in the equation to check whether they satisfy or not.

Consider option (a),

y = ( 1/4 )x + 2

For ( - 8, 0) :

0 = ( 1/4 ) × - 8 + 2

0 = - 2 + 2

0 = 0

For ( 0, 2 ):

y = ( 1/4 )x + 2

2 = (1/4) × 0 + 2

2 = 2

Hence, the equation y = ( 1/4 )x + 2 passes through both points.

Consider option (b),

y = 4x - 8

For point ( - 8, 0 )

y = 4(-8) - 8

y = - 32 - 8 = - 40 ≠ 0

For point ( 0, 2)

y = 4(0) - 8 = - 8 ≠ 2

Hence, the equation y = 4x - 8 does not pass through the points.

Consider option (c),

y = ( 1/4 )x - 8

For ( - 8, 0 )

y = ( 1/4 ) × - 8 - 8

y = - 2 - 8 = - 10 ≠ 0

For ( 0, 2)

y = ( 1/4 ) × 0 - 8 = - 8 ≠ 2

Hence, the equation y = ( 1/4 )x - 8 does not pass through points.

Consider option (d),

y = 4x + 2

For point ( - 8, 0 )

y = 4( - 8) + 2

y = - 32 + 2 = - 30 ≠ 0

For point ( 0, 2)

y = 4( 0 ) + 2 = 2

2 = 2

Hence, the equation passes through ( 0, 2) but does not pass through the point ( - 8, 0 ).

Therefore, the equation that represents the relationship between x and y is y = ( 1/4 )x + 2

From the given actual height of tower 1083 feet and width 410 feet, the

scale model is equal to 1.98 feet tall.

As given,

Eiffel Tower's actual height = 1083 feet

Eiffel Tower's actual width at base = 410 feet

Scale model's width at base = 0.75 feet

To find: how much tall is the scale model of the Eiffel Tower

Let us assume the height of the scale model of the Eiffel Tower to be x feet

Then by the property of similarity of scale models, ratio of the height of actual Eiffel Tower to its scale model will be equal to the ratio of the width of their base.

=> [tex]\frac{x}{1083} = \frac{0.75}{410}[/tex]

=> x = 1.98 feet

Therefore,  the width of the base of the scale model of the Eiffel Tower is 1.98 feet with given actual height and width 1083feet and 410 feet respectively.

9 ) Given: The angle is 55.2 °

The length of the shadow is 15.5 meter.

To find : the length of the tree

The by using the formula tan θ = perpendicular / base

tan θ = length of the tree/ shadow

thus the length of the tree = length of shadow × tan θ

= 15.5 × tan 55.2

= 15. 5 × 1.43

= 22.165  meter

Thus the length of the tree is 22.165 meter

10) the angle of inclination = 42 °

The height of the slab is 5.6 meters

Thus the length of the steel beams is :

sin 42 ° = perpendicular / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = perpendicular × 0.669

hypotenuse = 5.6 × 0.669

= 3.7464 meters

Thus the length of the steel beams is 3.7464 meters.
