Let F be the father's age, let S be the son's age
when: F = 60,
S = F/2 = 60/2 = 30

this means S = F-30

this means:
F/4 = F -30
F = 4F - 120
-3F = -120
F = 40

If the boy was 4 times less his father's age,
at this instance:
S = 40/4 = 10

therefore the son was 10 years old, the father was 40

Let f be the fathers age and let s be the sons age

f = 60 s = 30
when f = 45
s = 15 which is only a third if his fathers age

when f = 40
s = 10 which is a quarter of his fathers age

therefore when his father was 4 times his age, the son was 10

Which is the value of the expression (StartFraction (10 Superscript 4 Baseline) (5 squared) Over (10 cubed) (5 cubed)) cubed?

Flura [38]

Answer:

The value to the given expression is 8

Therefore $\left[\frac{(10^4)(5^2)}{(10^3)(5^3)}\right]^3=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is (StartFraction (10 Superscript 4 Baseline) (5 squared) Over (10 cubed) (5 cubed)) cubed

Given expression can be written as below

$\left[\frac{(10^4)(5^2)}{(10^3)(5^3)}\right]^3$

To find the value of the given expression:

$\left[\frac{(10^4)(5^2)}{(10^3)(5^3)}\right]^3=\frac{((10^4)(5^2))^3}{((10^3)(5^3))^3}$

( By using the property ( $(\frac{a}{b})^m=\frac{a^m}{b^m}$ )

$=\frac{(10^4)^3(5^2)^3}{(10^3)^3(5^3)^3}$

( By using the property $(ab)^m=a^mb^m$ )

$=\frac{(10^{12})(5^6)}{(10^9)(5^9)}$

( By using the property $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$ )

$=(10^{12})(5^6)(10^{-9})(5^{-9})$

( By using the property $\frac{1}{a^m}=a^{-m}$ )

$=(10^{12-9})(5^{6-9})$ (By using the property $a^m.b^n=a^{m+n}$ )

$=(10^3)(5^{-3})$

$=\frac{10^3}{5^3}$ ( By using the property $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$ )

$=\frac{1000}{125}$

$=8$

Therefore $\left[\frac{(10^4)(5^2)}{(10^3)(5^3)}\right]^3=8$

Therefore the value to the given expression is 8

Write an equation of the parabola that has the same shape as the graph of f(x), but with the point (,) as the vertex.

erik [133]

Answer:

y=3(x-9)^2+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To move a parabola horizontally to the right, subtract 9.

To move it upward 4 units, you simply have to add 4.

These do not change the characteristics of the shape. I suggest looking at a set of rules that affect how the parabola moves horizontally and vertically.
