Alicia, Quentin, and Rosalyn are siblings. Alicia is the oldest sibling. Quentin is four years younger than Alicia. Rosalyn is t

tatiyna

Answer:

Alicia is 18years

Quentin is 14years

Rosalyn is 16years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Alicia be x

Let the age of Quentin be y

Let the age of Rosalyn be z

If the sum of the siblings’ ages, in years, is 48 then;

x+y+z = 48.... 1

If Rosalyn is two years older than Quentin then;

z =y+2 ..... 2

Also if Quentin is four years younger than Alicia then;

y = x-4 ... 3

From 3:

x = y+4 ... 4

Substitute 2 and 4 into 1 to have:

y+4+y+y+2 = 48

3y + 6= 48

3y = 48-6

3y= 42

y = 14

Since x= y+4

x = 14+4

x = 18

Since z = y+2

z = 14+2

z = 16year

This means that;

Alicia is 18years

Quentin is 14years

Rosalyn is 16years

Jake thinks that a rhombus is not always a parallelogram.Is jake correct?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

No, a rhombus is a quadrilateral, with four equal-length sides and opposite sides parallel to each other. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses. The opposite interior angles of rhombuses are always congruent. A parallelogram is just a four sided closed shape where opposite sides are parallel.

I hope this helps!

A person places $37700 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 5%,

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

8,229,437 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula;

A = P(1+r)^n

Given

Principal invested = $37700

rate r = 5% = 0.05

Time t = 16years

Substitute into the formula

A = 37700(1+0.05)^16

A = 37700(1.05)^16

A = 37700(2.1829)

A = 82,294.37

Hence the amount of money, to the nearest cent, in the account after 16 years is 8,229,437 cents

Chase consumes an energy drink that contains caffeine. After consuming the energy drink, the amount of caffeine in Chase's body

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

(a) The 5-hour decay factor is 0.5042.

(b) The 1-hour decay factor is 0.8720.

(c) The amount of caffeine in Chase's body 2.39 hours after consuming the drink is 149.112 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of caffeine in Chase's body decreases exponentially.

The 10-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine is 0.2542.

The 1-hour decay factor is:

$1-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.2542)^{1/10}=0.8720$

(a)

Compute the 5-hour decay factor as follows:

$5-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.8720)^{5}\\=0.504176\\\approx0.5042$

Thus, the 5-hour decay factor is 0.5042.

(b)

The 1-hour decay factor is:

$1-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.2542)^{1/10}=0.8720$

Thus, the 1-hour decay factor is 0.8720.

(c)

The equation to compute the amount of caffeine in Chase's body is:

A = Initial amount × (0.8720)<em>ⁿ</em>

It is provided that initially Chase had 171 mg of caffeine, 1.39 hours after consuming the drink.

Compute the amount of caffeine in Chase's body 2.39 hours after consuming the drink as follows:

$A = Initial\ amount \times (0.8720)^{2.39} \\=[Initial\ amount \times (0.8720)^{1.39}] \times(0.8720)\\=171\times 0.8720\\=149.112$

Thus, the amount of caffeine in Chase's body 2.39 hours after consuming the drink is 149.112 mg.
