Clara did not want to tell Carl how old she was. All she said was that every year on her birthday, her Mom puts as many coins in her money box as how old she turned that day. Carl roughly estimated the number of coins in the box as not less that 110 but not more than 130 coins. How old is Clara?

Answers

Answer 1

Clara is 15 years old, and there are 120 coins on the box.

How old is Clara?

Each year her mom puts as many coins in her money box as how old she turns that day.

So on her first birthday, 1 coin is put in the box.

On her second birthday, 2 coins are put in the box

And so on.

So we have the simple summation:

[tex]\sum_{n = 1} n[/tex]

We know that the outcome of that summation is a number in the interval [110, 130]

If we know that the sum goes from n = 1 to n = N (N is the age of Clara) then we can rewrite the summation as:

[tex]N*(N + 1)/2[/tex]

Now we can solve:

[tex]N*(N + 1)/2 = 110\\\\N^2 + N = 220\\\\N^2 + N - 220 = 0[/tex]

The two solutions of the quadratic equation are:

[tex]N = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 - 4*1*(-220)} }{2} \\\\N = (-1 \pm 29.7) /2[/tex]

If we take only the positive solution:

N = (-1 + 29.7)/2 = 14.35

Now, notice that we got this number by taking the smallest possible number of coins (110) So we can round this to the next whole number, which is 15.

If N = 15, then the number of coins in the box is:

15*(15 + 1)/2 = 120

Which lies on the wanted interval.

Triangle A B C has centroid G. Lines are drawn from each point through the centroid to the midpoint of the opposite side to form line segments A F, B D, and C E. The length of line segment A G is 19 x + 14 and the length of line segment D G is 9 x + 2.

G is the centroid of triangle ABC.

What is the length of GF?

units

Answers

Based on the calculations, the length of GF is equal to 26 units.

How to find the length of GF?

In Geometry, the centroid of any triangle always divides the lines in a ratio of 2:1. Thus, G divides line B F as follows:

2DG = BD

2(9x + 2) = 40

18x + 4 = 40

18x = 40 - 4

x = 36/18

x = 2.

Similarly, G divides line A F as follows:

2GF = A F

GF = A F/2

GF = (19x + 14)/2

GF = (19(2) + 14)/2

GF = 52/2

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle QPR due to the transformations reflection, the triangles are similar by side-angle-side similarity theorem.

How to Identify similar triangles?

Transformations are changes done in the shapes on a coordinate plane by rotation, reflection or translation.

- Rotation means that it rotates or turns the pre-image around an axis with no change in size or shape

- Reflection means that it flips the pre-image and produces the mirror-image with no change in size or shape or orientation

- Translation means that it slides or moves the pre-image with no change in size or shape but has changes in only the direction of the shape

- Dilation means that it stretches or shrinks the pre-image.

Two triangles are said to be similar if they have the same shape and the ratio of their corresponding sides are in the same proportion. It should be noted that, corresponding angles are congruent.

Thus, we conclude that triangle ABC and triangle QPR are similar triangle based on the side-angle-side similarity theorem.

When the polynomial 2x^3 + mx^2 + nx – 2 is divided by x – 3, the remainder is 4. When

Answers

The values of m and n are -29/3 and 40/3 respectively

Factor and remainder theorem

A polynomial is a function that has a leading degree of 2 and greater. Given the polynomial

P(x) = 2x^3 + mx^2 + nx – 2

If  it is divided by x – 3, the remainder is 4 and divided by x – 2, the remainder is 2, hence;

4 = 2(3)^3 + 9m + 3n - 2

4 = 54 + 9m + 3n - 3

9m + 3n = -47

Similarly

2 = 2(2)^3 + 4m + 2n - 2

4m + 2n = -12

Solve simultaneously

9m + 3n = -47 * 2

4m + 2n = -12  * 3

______________
18m + 6n = -94

12m + 6n = -36

Subtract

6m = -58

m = -58/6 = -29/3

For the value of n

4m + 2n = -12

2m + n = -6

2(-29/3) + n = -6

n = -6 + 58/3

n = 40/3

Hence the values of m and n are -29/3 and 40/3 respectively

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra:

   This states that any polynomial with degree n will have n solutions which are real or complex.

Since this function you gave has 4 zeroes, this function has to have at at least a degree of 4. The reason I say at least, is because of something called multiplicity. When a zero has an even multiplicity it will have a turning point at the zero, if it has an odd multiplicity it will pass the x-axis. So assuming each zero only has a multiplicity of 1, then this will have at least a degree of 4. It also might have complex zeroes which still count as zeroes.

End Behavior of Polynomial Functions:

   So this is pretty easy to remember, but if the leading coefficient is positive, then the end behavior to the right will go up, if it's negative it will go down. Now the next thing to know is an odd degree means that the end behavior will go in opposite directions. So if the right goes up, then the left side will be going down and vice verse. if it's an even degree then the two opposite sides will go in the same direction.

In this case both ends are going down, in the same direction. This means that the leading coefficient is negative and the degree is even.

Using these two things, we can exclude answers

B can't be the answer, it only has 3 zeroes, this has at least 4.

C can't be the answer, it has an odd degree so the end behaviors would go in opposite directions

D can't be the answer, it has a positive leading coefficient so the right side would be going up

This means the only possible equation is A which has at least a degree of 4, negative leading coefficient, and even degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that when y = 12 then x = 5

The reason for this is because 12 * 5 = 60.

Which means that since the y = 12 was multiplied by 5, the x = 5 should be multiplied by 5 too.

Since 5 * 5 = 25, then we know that if y = 60, then x will equal 25.
