Answer:

  • father: 36
  • son: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...

  5(s+4) = (s+32)+4

  5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20

  s = 4

The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...

  father : son = 5 : 1

The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...

  father : son = 40 : 8

So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...

  father: 36; son: 4.

Which is the graph of f(x) = log3x?.
valentinak56 [21]

Logarithm functions are the inverses of the exponential function the graph of the given function is attached in the given image.

The points for the given function are (1,0) (3,1) and (9,2)

Given that

Function; \rm  f(x) = log3x

We have to determine

The graph of the function f(x).

According to the question

The logarithmic function is the inverse of the exponential function.

Function; \rm  f(x) = log_3x

To plot the graph of the given function we have to find the asymptotes;

Vertical asymptote at x =0

The point at x= 1 is,

\rm f(1) = log_3(1)\\\\f(1)=log_33\\\\f(1)=1

The point at x= 3 is,

\rm f(3) = log_3(3)\\\\f(3)=log_33\\\\f(3)=1

The point at x= 9 is,

\rm f(9) = log_3(9)\\\\f(9)=3log_33\\\\f(9)=3\times 1\\\\ f(9)=3

Hence, the points for the given function are (1,0) (3,1) and (9,2).

To know more about the Exponential function given below.

Julia and Cody are working together on solving math problems. For every one problem that Julia
slega [8]

Answer:

Cody has solved (12 × 12) = 144 problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every one problem that Julia completes, Cody completes twelve.

If Julia Completes x problems and Cody completes y problems, then we can write y = 12x ........ (1)

Now, given that the number of problems solved by Cody is one hundred twenty more than two times the number of problems solved by Julia.

Hence, 2x + 120 = y ......... (2)

Now, from equations (1) and (2) we get,  

2x + 120 = 12x

⇒ 10x = 120

⇒ x = 12

Therefore, Cody has solved (12 × 12) = 144 problems. (Answer)
