Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.

To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;

Let;

Katherine's age = x²

Alexandra = 5(x + 1)

Sum of their age = 109

5(x + 1) + x² = 109

5x + 5 + x² = 109

x² + 5x - 104 = 0

Solving for the equation; x = 8

Katherine's age is 8

Which of the following is the inverse of y = 2/3x + 1

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Y=3/2x - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, switch the x and y in the equation. Then solve for y.

Y=2/3x+1

X=2/3y+1

X-1=2/3y

3/2(x-1)=y

3/2x-3/2=y

An 8-foot roll of wrapping paper costs $12.48. What is the price per inch?

Kisachek [45]

The price of this wrapping paper per inch is equal to $1,198.08.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Cost of wrapping paper = $12.48.

Length of wrapping paper = 8 foot.

To determine the price of this wrapping paper per inch:

<h3>How to solve the problem.</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to solve for the cost of an 8-foot roll of wrapping paper that costs $12.48. Thus, we would convert the length of this wrapping paper in foot to inch and then multiply by $12.48.

<u>Conversion:</u>

1 foot = 12 inch

8 foot = X inch

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 8 \times 12$

X = 96 inch

For price per inch:

$Price = 12.48 \times 96$

Price = $1,198.08

What curve passes through the point (1 ,2) and has an arc length on the interval [2,6] given by Integral from 2 to 6 StartRo

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of curve

$L=\int_{2}^{6}\sqrt{1+64x^{-6}}dx$

Length of curve is given by

$L=\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+\left ( \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}\right )^2}dx$ over interval a to b

comparing two we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=8x^{-3}$

$dy=8x^{-3}dx$

integrating

$\int dy=\int 8x^{-3}dx$

$y=-4x^{-2}+C$

Curve Passes through (1,2)

$1=-4+C$

$C=5$

curve is

$y+\frac{4}{x^2}=5$
