Hello Kiddo. 

This question is a bit confusing to me, but I think I grasped the concept. 
1. x best represents Sarah's mom's age. 
2. x - 24 best represents Sarah's mom's age minus how much younger Sarah is than her mom. 
3. The expression would look a little like this:
2x-24 = 68
    + 24  +24
2x = 92 
/2     /2
x = 46.

Which means, Sarah is 22 and her mom is 46 years of age. 
If you need more clarification, I'd be more than happy to elaborate further.

Trigonometry<br> Special Right Triangles<br> Find the exact value of tan 30* + sin 90* + cot 60*.
fredd [130]

Answer:

1 + 2sqrt(3)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(30) = sqrt(3)/3

sin(90) = 1

tan(60) = sqrt(3)

cot(60) = 1/sqrt(3) = sqrt(3)/3

sqrt(3)/3 + 1 + sqrt(3)/3

1 + 2sqrt(3)/3

3. the speedy fast ski resort has started to keep track of the number of skiers and snowboarders who bought season passes. the r
pogonyaev
You can set this up as an algebraic equation using the ratio:

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{x+1250}
where x = number of skiers

Cross multiply:
x + 1250 = 2x

Solve for x:
-x = -1250
x=1250

To find the number of snowboarders, add 1250.
1250 + 1250 = 2500

1250 skiers and 2500 snowboarders bought season passes.

Scientists were studying a rare species of parrot. They went to a forest in the year
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

P(t) = 608(1.5)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of parrots in t years after 2010 can be modeled by the following function:

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which P(0) is the number of parrots in 2010 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

608 parrots in the forest in 2010.

This means that P(0) = 608

Then

P(t) = 608(1+r)^{t}

When the scientists went back  5 years later, they found 4617 parrots.

This means that P(5) = 4617

We use this to find 1 + r. So

P(t) = 608(1+r)^{t}

4617 = 608(1+r)^{5}

(1+r)^{5} = \frac{4617}{608}

1 + r = \sqrt[5]{\frac{4617}{608}}

1 + r = 1.5

So

P(t) = 608(1.5)^{t}
