Byron is 3 years older than Doug. The product of their ages is 40. How old Doug?
A. 10
B. 8
C. 5
D. 4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Doug is x years old, so Byron is x+3 years old. The product of their ages would then be x times x+3:

x(x+3) = 40

x2 + 3x = 40

x2 + 3x + 40 = 0

Now, factor the equation:

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

Then, solve for both values of x:

x+8 = 0

x = -8

x-5 = 0

x = 5

As no one can have a negative age, we simply disregard x=-8 as invalid. Therefore, Doug is 5 years old & Byron must be 5+3 - or 8 years old.

Hope it is helpful...
Answer 2

Answer:

Doug is 10 years old; option A

Step-by-step explanation:

set up expressions using the information you already know:

B (byron)

D (doug)

B = D + 3

B * D = 40

you can now solve by plugging in an expression for the variable B in the second equation.  

D + 3 * D = 40

D + 3D = 40

(combine like terms)

4D = 40

(divide by 4 on both sides to isolate the variable and balance the equation)

4D/4 = 40/4

D = 10

So, the answer is A; Doug is 10 years old

A cuboid has 3 different sized faces. The areas of 2 of the faces are 84cm2and 56cm2. The volume of the cuboid is 672cm3. Find the length, width and height of the cuboid and the area of the third face.

Answers

Answer:

Length: 12 cm

Width: 8 cm

Height; 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the areas of 2 of the faces are 84cm² and 56cm².

Now, the side faces are 4 in total with 2 each having same areas.

Thus, it means they would have the same height.

Let's find the highest common factor between 84cm² and 56cm².

The highest number that can be divide each equally is 7.

Thus;

12 × 7 = 84 cm²

8 × 7 = 56 cm²

This means, the bottom part will measure 12 cm by 8 cm.

Thus, the complete measurement is;

Length: 12 cm

Width: 8 cm

Height; 7 cm

Let's check if it will give us a Volume equal to that given.

Thus;

Volume = 12 × 8 × 7 = 672 cm²

This is same as that given and so our dimensions are correct.

Things to remember:

Sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tan = Opposite / Adjacent

Whatever 2 terms you have in your equation are the ones you will use to determine Sin/Cos/Tan. For example, in question 21, the “X” was adjacent to your given angle (74°). The hypotenuse was 12, so you would use Cos since your two terms are Adjacent / Hypotenuse.

Also remember, the hypotenuse is the side opposite of the 90° angle.

The opposite side is the side opposite of the angle given (Not 90°).


The adjacent side is the side adjacent to the angle given (Also not 90°).

Answers

Answer:

The number of the sequence are 2, 3, 6, 15

The difference between 2 and 3 is 1 i.e. 30.

The difference between 3 and 6 is 3 i.e. 31.

The difference between 6 and 15 is 9 i.e. 32.

Let the next number in the given sequence be some natural number x.

Now, following the pattern, the difference between 15 and x has to be equal to 33=27.

i.e.

x−15=27⟹x=27+15=42

Hence

The next number in the sequence is 42.

Next number is 45, sequence goes times 3 then minus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Pay attention to the behavior of the asymptotes. If the asymptotes are approaching a certain x-value or y-value, then that value is undefined for the function.

Take for example [tex]y=\frac{1}{x}[/tex]:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex Form of a Vertical Parabola:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

Vertex -> [tex](h,k)[/tex]

Axis of Symmetry -> [tex]x=h[/tex]

Vertical Scale Factor -> [tex]a[/tex]

To turn [tex]f(x)=x^2+4x-5[/tex] into vertex form, we need to complete the square on the right sideTherefore, if [tex]f(x)=0[/tex], then [tex]0+9=x^2+4x-5+9[/tex] completes the square on the right side This becomes [tex]9=(x+2)^2[/tex]This means that our function in vertex form is [tex]f(x)=(x+2)^2-9[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is [tex](h,k)=(-2,-9)[/tex].

The coordinates of the vertex of the graph is (-2, -9).

What are Quadratic Functions?

Quadratic functions are polynomial functions consisting of variables and exponents and the degree of the variable is 2.

The general form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + b x + c.

Given is a quadratic function,

x² + 4x - 5

Given that axis of symmetry of the function is x = -2.

So the x coordinate of the vertex = -2.

y coordinates = f(-2) = 4 - 8 - 5 = -9

Hence the vertex is (-2, -9).

[tex] {x}^{2} - 4xy + 3 {y}^{2} = (x - y)(x - 3y)[/tex]
