P=pete's age now
c=claire's age now

2 year ago pete was 3times as old as his cousin clarie
p-2=3 times (c-2)

also the ratio is 1:3

2 years before that, pete was 4 times as old as claire
p-4=4 times (c-4)

so solve

p-2=3(c-2)
p-4=4(c-4)
distribute
p-2=3c-6
p-4=4c-16

p-2=3c-6
add 2 to both sides
p=3c-4

p-4=4c-16
add 4 to both sides
p=4c-12

so nowe we have
p=3c-4 and p=4c-12
therefor they are equal
3c-4=p=4c-12
3c-4=4c-12
add 12 to both sides
3c+8=4c
subtract 3c from both sides
8=c

subsitute
p-2=3(c-2)
p-2=3(8-2)
p-2=3(6)
p-2=18
addd 2
p=20

so right now, pete is 20 and claire is 8
so we solve by doing
20+what to 8+what=22 to 11
make fraction
and replace what with x
\frac{20+x}{8+x}= \frac{22}{11}
sipmlify 22/11 into 2/1
multiply both sides by 8+x
20+x=\frac{(2)(8+x)}{1}
20+x=2(8+x)
distribute
20+x=16+2x
subtract 16 from both sides
4+x=2x
subtract x from both sides
4=x
the answer is in 4 years

test
20+4=24
8+4=12
24/12=22/11?
2/1=2/1
true

the answer is in 4 years

Difficult pre calculus stuff.
leva [86]

When we divide complex numbers we divide their magnitudes and subtract their angles, so this isn't all that difficult:

\dfrac{10(\cos 45^\circ + i \sin 45^\circ)}{5 (\cos 15^\circ + i \sin 15^\circ)} = \dfrac{10}{5} (\cos(45^\circ - 15^\circ) + i \sin(45^\circ - 15^\circ))

= 2(\cos 30^\circ + i \sin 30^\circ)

Answer: 2(\cos 30^\circ + i \sin 30^\circ)

That's probably what's called simplified polar form until you get to Euler's Formula.   Since it's 30 degrees we can get a nice rectangular form:

2(\cos 30^\circ + i \sin 30^\circ) = 2\left( \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + i \dfrac 1 2 \right) = \sqrt{3} + i

Answer:

  • ∠CAE ≈ 16.7°
  • DF ≈ 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Angle CAE can be found using the tangent relation.

  tan(∠CAE) = CE/AE

  tan(∠CAE) = 6/20

  ∠CAE = arctan(6/20) ≈ 16.7°

__

b. The length of DF can be found using the law of cosines.

  DF² = FA² +DA² -2·FA·DA·cos(A)

  DF² = 14² +10² -2·14·10·cos(16.7°) ≈ 27.8086

  DF ≈ √27.8086

  DF = 5.3
