A father is 28 years older than his son. in 8 years time he will be 3 times as old as his son. how old is the father now?

Answer:

34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

f = s + 28 Eq. 1

f+8 = 3(s+8) Eq. 2

f = father age

s = son age

replacing Eq. 1 on Eq. 2

(s+28) + 8 = 3(s+8)

s + 36 = 3*s + 3*8

s + 36 = 3s + 24

36 - 24 = 3s - s

12 = 2s

12/2 = s

s = 6

from the Eq. 1

f = 6 + 28

f = 34

Check

from the Eq. 2

34+8 = 3(6+8)

42 = 3*14

A girl is on the beach and the angle of elevation from her feet to the top of a lighthouse is 62' If the lighthouse is 30ft tall

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

15.95 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 62°

Using trigonometric relation :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

From the drawing attached :

Opposite = 30 feets

Distance between girl and lighthouse = d

Tan 62 = 30 / d

1.8807264 * d = 30

d = 30 / 1.8807264

d = 15.951283

d = 15.95 feets

Let Q(x, y) be the predicate "If x < y then x2 < y2," with domain for both x and y being R, the set of all real numbers.

Levart [38]

Answer:

a) Q(-2,1) is false

b) Q(-5,2) is false

c)Q(3,8) is true

d)Q(9,10) is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is $Q(x,y)$ is predicate that $x$ then $x^{2}$ . where $x,y$ are rational numbers.

a)

when $x=-2, y=1$

Here $-2$ that is $x$ satisfied. Then

$(-2)^{2}$

$4$ this is wrong. since $4>1$

That is $x^{2}$ $>y^{2}$ Thus $Q(x,y)$ $=Q(-2,1)$ is false.

b)

Assume $Q(x,y)=Q(-5,2)$ .

That is $x=-5, y=2$

Here $-5$ that is $x$ this condition is satisfied.

Then

$(-5)^{2}$

$25$ this is not true. since $25>4$ .

This is similar to the truth value of part (a).

Since in both $x$ satisfied and $x^{2} >y^{2}$ for both the points.

c)

if $Q(x,y)=Q(3,8)$ that is $x=3$ and $y=8$

Here $3$ this satisfies the condition $x$ .

Then $3^{2}$

$9$ This also satisfies the condition $x^{2}$ .

Hence $Q(3,8)$ exists and it is true.

d)

Assume $Q(x,y)=Q(9,10)$

Here $9$ satisfies the condition $x$

Then $9^{2}$

$81$ satisfies the condition $x^{2}$ .

Thus, $Q(9,10)$ point exists and it is true. This satisfies the same values as in part (c)

Evaluate the function. f(x) = 3x² – x Find f(10)

kirill [66]

Answer:

<em>f(10)=290</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function Evaluation</u>

Given a function f(x) as an explicit expression, finding f(x=a) implies substituting the value of x by a in every instance it occurs.

We are given the function:

$f(x)=3x^2-x$

It's required to find f(10). We replace the x for 10:

$f(10)=3*10^2-10$

Operating:

$f(10)=3*100-10$

$f(10)=300-10$

$f(10)=290$

Thus, f(10)=290

PLEASE HELP!!!!! find the measure of the arc or central angle indicated. assume that lines which appear to be diameters are actu

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

If you started at W and went all the way around the circle until you wound up back at W, you will have gone 360 degrees. Since the angle measurement that prevents that is 85 degrees, the answer must be 360 - 85 = 275.
