Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and son's age be y.

Equations formed :

x = y + 25
x - 10 = 6(y - 10)

Substitute value of x from Equation 1 in Equation 2.

y + 25 - 10 = 6(y - 10)
y + 15 = 6y - 60
6y - y = 15 + 60
5y = 75
y = 15

Solution :

Son = y = 15 years
Father = y + 25 = 15 + 25 = 40 years

Answer:

Present age of son = 15 years

& Present age of father = 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's present age be x years

-> Father's present age = (x + 25) years

10 years ago:
Son's age = (x - 10) years

Father's age = (x +25 -10) = (x +15) years

It is given that: 10 years ago father was six times as old as his son

-> x + 15 = 6(x - 10)

-> x + 15 = 6x - 60

-> x- 6x = - 60 -15

-> -5x = - 75

-> x = -75/(-5)

-> x = 15

-> x + 25 = 15 + 25 = 40

-> Present age of son = 15 years

& Present age of father = 40 years.

Let θ (in radians) be an acute angle in a right triangle, and let x and y, respectively, be the lengths of the sides adjacent an

Fed [463]

Explanation is given step by step just below:
tan(theta(t))=y(t)/x(t)

differentiate
sec^2(theta(t))*theta'(t)=y'(t)x(t)-y(t)x'(t)/x^2(t)
thus
theta'(t)=(y'(t)x(t)-y(t)x'(t))
divided by (x^2(t)*sec^2(θ(t))

Hi!

We can see here that this is a composition question.

And since the composition of g of f of x is x, we can conclude that g(x) is the inverse of f(x) (if you're confused, search up the definition of an inverse function).

To find an inverse function, we can take the f(x) function and change the positions of the x and y variables.

$f(x)=\frac{e^7^x+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$y=\frac{e^7^x+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$x=\frac{e^7^y+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$2x=e^7^y+\sqrt{3}$

$e^7^y=2x-\sqrt{3}$

$7y=ln(2x-\sqrt{3})$

$y=\frac{ln(2x-\sqrt{3})}{7}$

Which is answer choice A, to check your work, you can solve the composition of g(f(x)), which will get you x.

$g(f(x))$

$g(\frac{e^7^x+\sqrt{3}}{2})$

$\frac{ln(2(\frac{e^7^x+\sqrt{3}}{2})-\sqrt{3}}{7}$

2s cancel.

$\frac{ln(e^7^x+\sqrt{3})-\sqrt{3}}{7}$

The natural log and e cancel.

$\frac{7x+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}}{7}$

$\sqrt{3}$ s cancel.

$\frac{7x}{7}$

7s cancel.

$x$

Hope this helps!

How to solve the problem 3.2d-4d=2.3d+3

Liula [17]

3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3...simplify by combining like terms
-0.8d = 2.3d + 3....subtract 2.3d from both sides
-0.8d - 2.3d = 3 ...simplify again
-3.1d = 3...divide both sides by -3.1
d = 3/ -3.1
d = - 0.97

or
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3....multiply the equation by 10, gets rid of the decimals
32d - 40d = 23d + 30....subtract 23d from both sides
32d - 40d - 23d = 30....simplify
-31d = 30...divide by -31
d = -30/31
d = - 0.97

Please help I asked this question earlier and nobody answered! :(

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to tell is to put both equations into slope-intercept form. That form is usually written $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Solve the first equation for y.

$6x+2y=5 \\ 2y=-6x+5 \\ y=-3x+5/2$

The slope of this line is -3, and its y-intercept is 5/2.

Solve the second equation for y.

$y+3x=2\\y=-3x+2$

The slope of this line is -3 and its y-intercept is 2.

The lines are parallel because they have the same slope and different y-intercepts. There is no solution to the system.
