Answer:

Your age(a) is 15 in this case.

If your brother is 1/3 of your age, that means multiply your brother's age by 3

Your sister is 9, and is 4 years older than your brother. In that case, we now know that your brother is 5

With that information, we can put this into a valid equation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<em>turn 1/3 into a flipped fraction, 3/1 which is equal to 3</em>

<em>your brother's age is 5, so the first value would be 5</em>

<em>5 times 3 is 15, so that means a is 15</em>

$5 * 3/1 = 15$

It costs $5.15 to rent a kayak for 1 hour at a local state park. The price per hour stays the same for up to 5 hours of rental.

iren [92.7K]

5.15 x 5 = 25.75

25.75 + 3.75 = 29.5

So your answer is $29.50

Hope it helps! :D

Which expression represents the number 2i4−5i3+3i2+−81‾‾‾‾√ rewritten in a+bi form?

vichka [17]

Answer:

The expression $-1+14i$ represents the number $2i^4-5i^3+3i^2+\sqrt{-81}$ rewritten in a+bi form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of $i$ is $i=\sqrt{-1}[tex] or [tex]i^{2}=-1[\tex].Now [tex]i^{4}$ in term of $i^{2}[\tex] can be written as, [tex]i^{4}=i^{2}\times i^{2}$

Substituting the value,

$i^{4}=\left(-1\right)\times \left(-1\right)$

Product of two negative numbers is always positive.

$\therefore i^{4}=1$

Now $i^{3}$ in term of $i^{2}[\tex] can be written as, [tex]i^{3}=i^{2}\times i$

Substituting the value,

$i^{3}=\left(-1\right)\times i$

Product of one negative and one positive numbers is always negative.

$\therefore i^{3}=-i$

Now $\sqrt{-81}$ can be written as follows,

$\sqrt{-81}=\sqrt{\left(81\right)\times\left(-1\right)}$

Applying radical multiplication rule,

$\sqrt{ab}={\sqrt{a}}\sqrt{b}$

$\sqrt{\left(81\right)\times\left(-1\right)}={\sqrt{81}}\sqrt{-1}$

Now, $\sqrt{\left(81\right)=9$ and $\sqrt{-1}}=i$

$\therefore \sqrt{\left(81\right)\times\left(-1\right)}=9i$

Now substituting the above values in given expression,

$2i^4-5i^3+3i^2+\sqrt{-81}=2\left(1\right)-5\left(-i\right)+3\left(-1\right)+9i$

Simplifying,

$2+5i-3+9i$

Collecting similar terms,

$2-3+5i+9i$

Combining similar terms,

$-1+14i$

The above expression is in the form of a+bi which is the required expression.

Hence, option number 4 is correct.

Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The pediatrician said that the z-score for the boy's height, relative to other 2-year-olds in the country, was 1.59

He explains to the parents of the boy, that the extreme 5% of cases often require special attention.

(A) Does this child fall into that group?

Yes, this child falls into that group. He is among the extreme 5% of cases at the tail of the distribution.

(B) What do you need to assume about the heights of 2-year-olds, in order to find your answer to part (A)?

Assume that the distribution of heights is skewed, the heights are independent of one another, and the number of heights is very large.

The graph shows the girth of the trunk of a fir tree after different numbers of years: What does the y-intercept of the graph re

Talja [164]

The y-intercept represents the initial girth of the tree. Assuming that the X-axis represents time in this scenario (as it usually does) the y-axis, therefore, represents the girth of the tree. The y-intercept is located where X = 0. So if no time has passed then this must be the first measurement of the girth of the tree.
