Write and solve an equation to solve the problem. Lisa is 4 centimeters taller than her friend Ian. Ian is 8 centimeters taller

than Jim. Every month, their heights increase by 2 centimeters. In 4 months, the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height. How tall is Ian now? Let h be Ian's height today in centimeters.
(h + 8) + (__) + 8 = ( __) + 8 + 140

Ian is __ centimeters tall now.

Let the actual heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim be L, I and J.

i) "Lisa is 4 centimeters taller than her friend Ian." means: L=4+I

ii) "Ian is 8 centimeters taller than Jim." means: I=8+J, thus J=I-8

so the heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim are  4+I, I and I-8, respectively.



Since their heights increase by 2 cm, in 4 months, their heights increase      2 cm*4 = 8 cm.

Thus, after 4 months the heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim become:

4+I +8, I+8 and I-8+8 that is  I + 12, I+8, I.


In 4 months, "
the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height. " mean:

(I+8)+I=140+(I+12)

2I+8=152+I

I=152-8=144


This solution made use of writing all the ages in terms of Ians current age.

Solve for x show all your work. 10x + 15 = 5x - 10​
sdas [7]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 15 = 5x-10

-5x            -5x

5x+15 = -10

    -15     -15

5x = -25

/5      /5

According to the rational root theorem, which is a factor of the polynomial f(x)=3x^3-5x^2-12x+20?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

(x-2), (x+2), (3x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 3: ±1, ±3

Factors of 20: ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20

Possible factors of the polynomial: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20, .... (there's a lot more but you probably do not need to list them all)

Pick a number to divide the polynomial by (I picked 2)

(3x³-5x²-12x+20)÷(x-2) = 3x²+x-10

So (x-2) is a factor of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

Factor 3x²+x-10 = (3x-5)(x-2) these are the other factors of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

The number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn is approximated by the following function:
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S(x) = -x^{3}+2\cdot x^{2}+405\cdot x +4965, for 6 \leq x \leq 20. x represents the temperature of the water, measured in degrees Celsius, and S is the number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn, dimensionless.

We compute the first and second derivatives of the function:

S'(x) = -3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 (Eq. 1)

S''(x) = -6\cdot x +4 (Eq. 2)

Then we equalize (Eq. 1) to zero and solve for x:

-3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 = 0

And all roots are found by Quadratic Formula:

x_{1} \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C, x_{2}\approx -10.971\,^{\circ}C

Only the first root is inside the given interval of the function. Hence, the correct answer is:

x \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C

Now we evaluate the second derivative at given result. That is:

S''(12.305) = -6\cdot (12.305)+4

S''(12.305) = -69.83

According to the Second Derivative Test, a negative value means that critical value leads to a maximum. In consequence, the water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

Robert says 12 divide by 3//4 = 9. He used the following steps: 12/1 × 3/4 = 36/4 What error did Robert make? A. Robert used sub
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

C and D are the same answers but one of those.

Step-by-step explanation:

Um, I got what Robert got, so by process of elimination, it must be C or D. I used multiplication, so it wasn't subtraction or addition. Meaning whatever a reciprocal is, I didn't do that.
