Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

x will be the age of her younger brother

 34 = 2x + 10

She is ten more than twice his age

 34 = 2x + 10

- 10         - 10

Then she twice his age

24 = 2x

÷2   ÷2

So his age is 12

x = 12

Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of
lakkis [162]

Answer:

y + 4 = -3 (x - 5)

In other words,

y = -3 x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent line to y = g(x) at x = 5 is the same as the value of g'(x). g'(5) = 3. Therefore, 3 will be the slope of the tangent line.

The tangent line goes through the point of tangency (5, g(5)). g(5) = -4. Therefore, the tangent line passes through the point (5, -4).

Apply the slope-point form of the line. The equation for a line with slope <em>m</em> that goes through point (a, b) will be y - b = m(x - a). For the tangent line in this question,

  • m = 3,
  • a = 5, and
  • b = -4.

What will be the equation of this line?

Select 2 strategies that we can use to add 115+497
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

  B. Add 115+500 then subtract 3

  C. Add 112+500

Step-by-step explanation:

Any strategy that gives a sum of 612 will work. Strategy A gives a sum of 602, so is not useful.

The appropriate choices are B and C.

  B: 115 +497 = 115 +(500 -3) = (115 +500) -3

  C: 115 +497 = 115 +497 -3 +3 = (115 -3) +(497 +3) = 112 +500
