Bob is 2 years older than Carol and the reverse of Carol's age is 3 times Bob's age, which makes Bob's to be 17 years.

<h3>How can Bob's age be calculated?</h3>

Let <em>1</em><em>B </em>represent Bob's age and let <em>1</em><em>C </em>represent Carol's age, we can write the following equations;

  • 1B = 1C + 2

Reversing Carol's age gives;

  • C1 = 3 × 1B

The multiples of 3 that have the form X1 have 7 as the rightmost number.

Given that 1B is a teenager, we have;

When;

  • 1B = 17
  • 1C = 17 - 2 = 15

The reverse of Carol's age is therefore;

  • C1 = 51 = 3 × 17

Therefore, from the given description, Bob's age <em>1B</em><em> </em>= 17 years

  • Bob is 17 years old

Does 12cm,35cm,37cm equal a right triangle
velikii [3]
Start off by using the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 35^2 = 37^2
144 + 1,225 = 1,369
1,369 = 1,369

If the left side equals the right side than it is a right triangle.

Your answer is: Yes 

Have an amazing day and stay hopeful!

Is the following function even, odd or neither? f(x)=x^3 +4x
erica [24]

Answer:

D, neither

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a function is even, odd or neither, we need to know what it means

an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis

an odd function is symmetric with respect to the origin

to solve an equation to see if its even or odd, we would need to substitute <em>x</em> in the equation for <em>-x</em>.

in an even function when we substitute f(-x), it should be equal to to f(x)

in an odd function when we substitute f(-x), it should be equal to -f(x)

so lets test the function given to see if its even

f(x) = x³ + 4x

f(-x) = (-x)³ + 4(-x)

f(-x) = x³ - 4x

f(-x) = x³ - 4x ≠ f(x) = x³ + 4x

comparing this to the orignal function, we see that f(-x) = x³ - 4x is not even as we did not get the same output as the original function

now we should test to see if its odd. we have already seen what f(-x) is, now lets try -f(x) and compare it to f(-x) and f(x)

-f(x) = -(x³ + 4x) -->

-f(x) = -x³ - 4x ≠ f(-x) = x³ - 4x

f(-x) = x³ - 4x ≠ f(x) = x³ + 4x

comparing this to f(x) and f(-x), we see that it not odd as we did not get the same output

so the answer is D, neither even nor odd

Maggie's brother is 4 years younger than three times her age. The sum of their ages is 16.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Maggie is 5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3M-4+M=16

add 4 to both sides

4M=20

Divide both sides by 4

20/4 = 5

M/Maggie is 5

HELP ME <br> solve for the right triangle
VikaD [51]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine and tangent ratios in the right triangle

cos41° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{VW}{VX} = \frac{7}{VX}

Multiply both sides by VX

VX × cos41° = 7 ( divide both sides by cos41° )

VX = \frac{7}{cos41} ≈ 9.3

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

tan41° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{WX}{VW} = \frac{WX}{7}

Multiply both sides by 7

7 × tan41° = WX, thus

WX ≈ 6.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the given angles from 180° for ∠ X

∠ X = 180° - (90 + 41)° = 180° - 131° = 49°
