Meg is 6 years older than Victor. Meg's age is 2 years less than five times Victor's age. The equations below model the relation

ship between Meg's age (m) and Victor's age (v):
m = v + 6
m = 5v − 2

Which is a possible correct method to find Meg's and Victor's ages?

Since no possible correct method is posted, I will suggest a couple.

Method 1: guess and check

Works well for simple problems involving integers like this one.

Victor's age must be zero or greater than one, say one.

Guess v=1, find m=v+6=7, check m=5v-2=5-2=3 no good.

we need to make v bigger

Guess v=2, find m=v+6=2+6=8, check m=5v-2=5*2-2=8 ✔

So v=2, m=8.

Method 2:

Solve the system of two equations.

since the left-hand sides is m in both equations, and since m=m, we just have to equate the right-hand sides to solve for v.

5v-2=v+6

Solve for v

5v-v = 6+2

4v=8

v=2,

so again, v=2, m=v+6=2+6=8.

4. The cosine function can be made to have the same values as the sine function for each angle by including a shifted _______ in
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: Option D

phase

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the cosine function has the following form

y = cos (x - \phi)

Where \phi is known as the phase angle

By definition the sinx function is equal to the cosx function with a phase shift of \frac{\pi}{2}

So if we have the function

y = cos (x - \phi) and we want to transform it into the function y=sin(x) then \phi = \frac{\pi}{2}

Finally

y = cos(x - \frac{\pi}{2})=sin(x)

the answer is the option D
