Answers – Daniel is 13 years old; Ben is 33 years old

WORKINGS

Let Ben’s age be ‘x’
Let Daniel’s age be ‘y’

Given: Ben is 20 years older than Daniel
x = y + 20                ….. (Equation I)

Given: Three years ago, Ben was 3 times as old as Daniel.
x – 3 = 3(y – 3)                ….. (Equation II)

Substitute ‘y + 20’ for x in Equation II
x – 3 = 3(y – 3)
(y + 20) – 3 = 3(y – 3)
y + 20 – 3 = 3y – 9
y + 17 = 3y – 9
3y – y = 17 + 9
2y = 26
y = 13
Daniel is 13 years old                ….. (Answer I)

Substitute 13 for the value of ‘y’ in equation I
x = y +20
x = 13 + 20
x = 33
Ben is 33 years old                ….. (Answer II)

Given:

The polynomial is

r^3-r^2+9r

To find:

Based on its number of terms name for the given polynomial.

Solution:

We have,

r^3-r^2+9r

Here, number of terms is 3.

Any polynomial with three terms is known as trinomial.

Therefore, based on its number of terms the given polynomial r^3-r^2+9r is called a trinomial.

A cardboard box without a lid is to be made with a volume of 44 ft3. Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amou
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

x =  3.53 ft

y - 3.53 ft

z = 3.53 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

given details

volume = 44 ft^3

let cardboard dimension is x and y and height be z

we know that area of given cardboard without lid is given as

A = xy + 2xy + 2yz

xyz   = 44 ft^3

To minimize area we have

A = xy + 2x (44/xy) + 2y(44/xy)

A = xy + (44/y) + (44/x)

we have

Ax = y - \frac{44}{x^2}

0 = yx^2 = 44................1

Ay = x - \frac{44}{y^2}

0 = x - \frac{44}{y^2}

xy^2 = 44 ..............2

from 1 and 2

yx^2 = xy^2

xy(y-x) = 0

xy = 0 or y = x

from geometry of probelem

x ≠ 0 and y ≠ 0

so y = x

x^3 = 44

x =  3.53 ft = y

z = 44/xy = 3.53
