Roman55 [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

son's present age = 30

father's present age=60

Step-by-step explanation:

his son's present age = x years

his father's present age = 2x years

before 20 years his son's age=(x-20) years

before 20 years father's age=(2x-20) years4(x-20)=(2x-20)

4x-80=2x-20

4x-2x=80-20

2x=60

x=30

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

  • The first mission

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The depth readings are</u>

  • The first mission:  - 2 3/4 fathoms
  • The second mission: - 2 5/8 fathoms

<u>Comparing the readings</u>

  • - 2 3/4 = - 2 6/8  and  - 2 5/8

<u>Absolute values compared</u>

  • 2 6/8 > 2 5/8

Indicating the greater value on the first mission

As per above, the first mission was deeper

Eula needs to buy binders that cost $4 each and notebooks that cost $2 each. She has $20. The graph of the inequality 4x + 2y ≤
Zolol [24]
She has to buy both binders and notebooks. So, you have to take into account that she has to have both. The closest you can get to $20 while still getting notebooks, is to buy 4 binders. 4 times 4 equals 16. So, she can get 4 binders and 2 notebooks, because then, 2 times 2 equals 4 and 16 plus 4 equals 20.

Part 1
svetlana [45]

Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!
