Answer:

Alice's age = 5 years

Malice's age = 5 years

Bob's age = 5+8 =13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age (in years of Alice and Malice (They have the same age because they are twins).

Age of Bob: x+8  (because he is 8 years older than the twins).

Then the sum of their three ages is 23:

x (Alice's age) + x (Malice's age) +(x+8 ) (Bob's age)= 23

2x + ( x+8) = 23

3x+8 = 23

3x = 15

(3x)/3 = 15/3

x = 5

So ...

Alice's age = 5 years

Malice's age = 5 years

Bob's age = 5+8 =13 years

Why is the notation startfraction dy over dx endfraction used to represent the​ derivative?
kkurt [141]

We know \frac{dy}{dx} expression is used for represent the​ derivative.

Actually, derivative is the second name of " Rate of Change".

And if we read \frac{dy}{dx}, it represents the "Rate of change of y with respect to x".

In simple words, a derivative is the rate of change or slope of a very small portion of a function.

dy represents very small change in y-coordinate and dx  represents very small change in x-coordinate.

Because deriviate is the second name of " a very small rate of change".

We use \frac{dx}{xy} to represent the​ derivative.
