To solve this problem, we need to recognize that Harry's age is given as "n". We can use this value and the given information to write expressions representing each person's age.

For Example, Jo is 2 years older than Harry and Harry's age is represented by the variable n. This means that n (Harry's age) plus 2 would equal Jo's age. This can be represented by the expression: n +2.

Next, we know that Kate is twice as old as Jo, and Jo's age is represented by the expression n+2. This means that 2 times Jo's age would be equal to Kate's age, or Kate's age = 2(n+2) or 2n +4.

Therefore, your answer is that Jo's age is n + 2 and Kate's age is 2n + 4.

Hope this helps!

At what value of x does the graph of the following function F(x) have a

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = $\frac{1}{x+2}$

The denominator cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

The equation of the vertical asymptote is x = - 2

What is the Greatest common factor of 18x^2 and 36x

adoni [48]

For this case we have that by definition, the Greatest Common Factor or GFC of two or more numbers, is the largest number that divides them without leaving residue.

So, we have to:

We look for the factors of 18 and 36:

18: 1,2,3,6,9,18

36: 1, 2,3,4, 6,9,18 ...

It is observed that the GFC of both numbers is 18.

Then, the GFC of $18x ^ 2$ and $36x$ is:
