Let's assume

Raj's age is x years

Zia's age is y years

we are given

Raj is three years older than zia

so, we get

x=y+3

now, we can solve for y

y=x-3

the sum of the squares of their ages is 369

so, we get

x^2+y^2=369

now, we can plug back y

x^2+(x-3)^2=369

now, we can solve for x

2x^2-6x+9=369

2x^2-6x-360=0

x^2-3x-180=0

(x+12)(x-15)=0

x=-12 , x=15

Since, age can not be negative

so, we will only consider positive

x=15

now, we can find y-value

y=15-3

y=12

So,

Raj's age is 15 years

Zia's age is 12 years...........Answer

n your computer store you charge $1012 per computer sold. Your costs are given by the equation C(x) = 4x^2 + 4x - 80 where x is
ella [17]

Answer:

63568 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in your computer store you charge $1012 per computer sold. Your costs are given by the equation

C(x) = 4x^2 + 4x - 80

where x is the number of computers sold.

Revenue = sales price *no of computers sold

= 1012x

Profit = Revenue - cost

= 1012x-( 4x^2 + 4x - 80)\\= 1008x-4x^2+80\\

Use derivative test to find maximum profit

C'(x) = 1008-8x \\C''(x)= -x

Equate I derivative to 0

x= 128

i.e. if 128 computers are manufactured and sold profit wouldbemaximum

Profit maximum=1008(128)-4(128)^2+80\\=63568

3 ⅕ -⅔ divided by 2 ⅘
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

160/196

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be easier if you converted all fractions to improper fractions

so 3 1/5 would equal 16/5 and 2 4/5 would equal to 14/5

\frac{14}{5} - \frac{2}{3} : to solve this you would need the same common denomenator,

to do this you can multiply 5 and 3 by something to make the lowest common denominator, which would be 15

thus

multiplying first fraction by 3 and the second by 5

42/15 - 10/15 = 32/15

now 32/15 divided by 14/5

the rule for dividing fractions, is flipping the fraction which you will be using to divide, and then multiplying it to the first fraction:

\frac{32}{14} multiplied by \frac{5}{14}

thus, answer is 160/196
