Answer:

6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

So each person's age can be represented as a linear equation, since each year our age increases by 1. It can be represented in the slope-intercept form: y=mx+b. The slope in this case is going to be 1, since the time is going to be years, and each year everyone's age goes up by 1 (of course if you're still alive...) and y-intercept in this case represents their current age.

So the father can be represented as: y=x+38

The sons can be represented as: y = x+13 and y=x+5

The daughter can be represented as: y=x+8

So adding up all his children you get:

(x+13)+(x+5)+(x+8)

This gives you the equation:

3x+26

Now set this equal to the father's age to solve for x (in this context it's years)

3x+26=x+38

Subtract from both sides

2x+26=38

Subtract 26 from both sides

2x=12

Divide both sides by 2

x=6

So in 6 years the father will be the same age as his children put together

Answer:

  f^-1(x) = 4+∛((x-6)/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, solve ...

  x = f(y)

then write the answer in functional form.

  \displaystyle x=f(y)\\\\x=5(y-4)^3+6\\\\x-6=5(y-4)^3\\\\\frac{x-6}{5}=(y-4)^3\\\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{x-6}{5}}=y-4\\\\y=4+\sqrt[3]{\frac{x-6}{5}}\\\\\boxed{f^{-1}(x)=4+\sqrt[3]{\frac{x-6}{5}}}

__

The graph shows the function and its inverse to be reflections of each other in the line y=x, as they should be.

The area of a rectangle is 60 cm2 If the width of the
aleksklad [387]

The length of the rectangle is 10 cm and perimeter of the rectangle is 32 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The area of rectangle = 60 sq cm

Width (b) of the rectangle = 6 cm

To find the length and perimeter of the rectangle.

Formula

The area of the rectangle = l×b

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l+b)

According to the problem,

l×b = 60

or, l×6 = 60

or, l = 60÷6 = 10

Length (l) = 10 cm

Perimeter = 2×(10+6) cm = 32 cm

The product of four different positive integers is 100. What is the sum of these four integers?
Leno4ka [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Answer for the above question is

The four integers are 1,2,5,10. And Sum of the four integers is 18 .

<u>Method : </u>

Product of four different positive integers is 100 .

<u>First</u> of all lets break the number "100"

 ⇒  100 = 50*2

 ⇒ 100 = 25 * 2 * 2

  ⇒ 100 = 5 * 5 * 2 * 2

But here we get the same  integers 2 and 5 and we want different positive integers . So hereby merge 5 * 2  which is 10.

Let's get to the possible combination -

  After merging 5*2 = 10 we get the answer as -

 ⇒ 100 = 1 * 2 * 5 * 10

 Here, we have 1, 2, 5, 10. these are the positive integers whose product gives 100 .

Sum of these products is -

   ⇒ Sum = 1 + 2 + 5 + 10

  ⇒  Sum = 18 .

Sum of these four Integers is 18.
