Bob and Mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their ages is 72. He gives another clue: the sum

of the ages of his children. Mark points out that there is still not enough information to accurately guess. Finally, Bob says, "My youngest child called Justice." Mark can then correctly determine the ages of Bob's children. What are the ages?

I just encountered this question. Here's my answer:

Given:
3 kids
product of their ages is 72.
Youngest child.

The youngest child means that all three kids have different ages.

We need to factor 72. Let us use prime factorization.

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 =   9
  9 ÷ 3 =   3
  3 ÷ 3 =   1

1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72

Based on the factors we can assume the following ages:

2 x 4 x 9   = 72
3 x 4 x 6   = 72
1 x 8 x 9   = 72  I prefer this age combination.
1 x 3 x 24 = 72
<span>1 x 4 x 18 = 72</span>

Classify the polynomial.<br><br> 3r^5-2r^2+5r
ella [17]
Answer: 5th degree trinomial

The degree is 5 because its the largest exponent of the single variable polynomial.

It's a trinomial because there are 3 terms. The terms are separated by a plus or a minus.

Drag each tile to the correct box. Vector t, with a magnitude of 4 meters/second and a direction angle of 60°, represents a swim
astraxan [27]

Answer:

From top to bottom, the boxes shown are number 3, 5, 6, 2, 4, 1 when put in ascending order.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet tell you the magnitude of the sum. For a problem such as this, it is even more convenient to let the calculator give you all the answers at once.

The TI-84 image shows the calculation for a list of vectors being added to 4∠60°. The magnitudes of the sums (rounded to 2 decimal places—enough accuracy to put them in order) are ...

... ║4∠60° + 3∠120°║≈6.08

... ║4∠60° + 4.5∠135°║≈6.75

... ║4∠60° + 4∠45°║≈7.93

... ║4∠60° + 6∠210°║≈3.23

... ║4∠60° + 5∠330°║≈6.40

... ║4∠60° + 7∠240°║≈ 3

_____

In the calculator working, the variable D has the value π/180. It converts degrees to radians so the calculation will work properly. The abs( ) function gives the magnitude of a complex number.

On this calculator, it is convenient to treat vectors as complex numbers. Other calculators can deal with vectors directly

_____

<em>Doing it by hand</em>

Perhaps the most straigtforward way to add vectors is to convert them to a representation in rectangular coordinates. For some magnitude M and angle A, the rectangular coordinates are (M·cos(A), M·sin(A)). For this problem, you would convert each of the vectors in the boxes to rectangular coordinates, and add the rectangular coordinates of vector t.

For example, the first vector would be ...

3∠120° ⇒(3·cos(120°), 3·sin(120°)) ≈ (-1.500, 2.598)

Adding this to 4∠60° ⇒ (4·cos(60°), 4°sin(60°)) ≈ (2.000, 3.464) gives

... 3∠120° + 4∠60° ≈ (0.5, 6.062)

The magnitude of this is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

... M = √(0.5² +6.062²) ≈ 6.08

___

<em>Using the law of cosines</em>

The law of cosines can also be used to find the magnitude of the sum. When using this method, it is often helpful to draw a diagram to help you find the angle between the vectors.

When 3∠120° is added to the end of 4∠60°, the angle between them is 120°. Then the law of cosines tells you the magnitude of the sum is ...

... M² = 4² + 3² -2·4·3·cos(120°) = 25-24·cos(120°) = 37

... M = √37 ≈ 6.08 . . . . as in the other calculations.

What property is (3x+7)+(2x+8)=3x+7+2x+8
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 7) + (2x + 8)

each of the parenthesis has a multiplier of 1 , placed outside the parenthesis.

then multiplying the terms inside the parenthesis by 1 gives

3x + 7 + 2x + 8
