A grandson's age in months is equal to his grandfather's age in years. The difference

Mathematics
1 answer:
Debora [2.8K]2 years ago

The difference of the grandson's age in years and the grandfather's age in years is 77. Therefore, the age of the grandson is 7 years.

<h3>How to use equations to find the age?</h3>

A grandson's age in months is equal to his grandfather's age in years.

Recall,

12 months = 1 year

Hence,

let

x = age of grandson in month

It is the same age in years for the grandfather.

Therefore,

x = age of grand father in years

The difference of the grandson's age in years and the grandfather's age in years is 77. Therefore,

x - x / 12 = 77

12x - x/12 = 77

11x / 12 = 77

cross multiply

11x = 924

x = 924 / 11

x = 84

Therefore, the grandson age in in years is 84 / 12 = 7 years.

An aeroplane X whose average speed is 50°km/hr leaves kano airport at 7.00am and travels for 2 hours on a bearing 050°. It then
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

(a)123 km/hr

(b)39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane X with an average speed of 50km/hr travels for 2 hours from P (Kano Airport) to point Q in the diagram.

Distance = Speed X Time

Therefore: PQ =50km/hr X 2 hr =100 km

It moves from Point Q at 9.00 am and arrives at the airstrip A by 11.30am.

Distance, QA=50km/hr X 2.5 hr =125 km

Using alternate angles in the diagram:

\angle Q=110^\circ

(a)First, we calculate the distance traveled, PA by plane Y.

Using Cosine rule

q^2=p^2+a^2-2pa\cos Q\\q^2=100^2+125^2-2(100)(125)\cos 110^\circ\\q^2=34175.50\\q=184.87$ km

SInce aeroplane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and arrives at 11.30am

Time taken =1.5 hour

Therefore:

Average Speed of Y

=184.87 \div 1.5\\=123.25$ km/hr\\\approx 123$ km/hr (correct to three significant figures)

(b)Flight Direction of Y

Using Law of Sines

\dfrac{p}{\sin P} =\dfrac{q}{\sin Q}\\\dfrac{125}{\sin P} =\dfrac{184.87}{\sin 110}\\123 \times \sin P=125 \times \sin 110\\\sin P=(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87\\P=\arcsin [(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87]\\P=39^\circ $ (to the nearest degree)

The direction of flight Y to the nearest degree is 39 degrees.

Factor this polynomial completely.<br> x^2-8x+12
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

(x - 2) (x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

x^2 - 8 x + 12

The factors of 12 that sum to -8 are -2 and -6. So, x^2 - 8 x + 12 = (x - 2) (x - 6):

Answer:  (x - 2) (x - 6)

Please help!!!
trasher [3.6K]

When an answer to a question uses the greater than symbol, that means any number above the number used is a possible answer to the equation. However, when it's just a simple "x = 2", then 2 is the only possible answer to that equation. Think about it as if it were on a graph. In the attached file I have a graph that is displaying the equation "x > 4". The entire shaded area to the right of 4 could be a possible answer.

Hope this helps.

Ricardo wants to install two security cameras at point A so the parking lot from side AE to side AB of the building can be monit
german

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The two cameras will have total view of:</u>

  • 110° + 110° = 220°

<u>The angle to be viewed is:</u>

  • 270° - 15° = 255°

This is not sufficient to cover the needed area as 220° < 255°

<u>The cameras should have a minimum view of:</u>

  • 255°/2 = 127.5°
