Answer:

Adele's current age is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = Adele's current age

Let t = Timothy's current age

Adele is 5 years older than Timothy:

a = t + 5       {equation 1}

In 3 years Timothy will be 2/3 of Adele's age:

(2/3)(a + 3) = t + 3     {equation 2}

Since we are looking for Adele's age, let's rearrange equation 1 to:

t = a - 5

Substitute that into equation 2 and solve for a.

(2/3)(a+3) = a - 5 + 3

(2/3)(a + 3) = a - 2

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

2(a+3) = 3a - 6

2a + 6 = 3a - 6

Add 6 to both sides, subtract 2a from both sides

12 = a

Adele is 12 years old

This means Timothy is 7 years old.

Check equation 2 to verify:

(2/3)(a + 3) = t + 3

(2/3)(12+3) = 7 + 3

(2/3)(15) = 10

10 = 10

The graph of F ( x ) = 4/x2 - 2x - 3 is shown <br> for which values of X is f ( x ) decreasing
Elza [17]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{(-\infty, \sqrt[3]{-4}) \text{ and } (0, \infty) }

We can find the values of x for which f(x) is decreasing by finding the derivative of f(x):

f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - 2x - 3

Taking the derivative gets:

f'(x) = -\frac{8}{x^3} - 2

Find the values for which f'(x) < 0 (less than 0, so f(x) decreasing):

0 = -8/x³ - 2

2 = -8/x³

2x³ = -8

x³ = -4

x = \sqrt[3]{-4}

Another critical point is also where the graph has an asymptote (undefined), so at x = 0.

Plug in points into the equation for f'(x) on both sides of each x value to find the intervals for which the graph is less than 0:

f'(1) = -8/1 - 2 = -10 < 0

f'(-1) = -8/(-1) - 2 = 6 > 0

f'(-2) = -8/-8 - 2 = -1 < 0

Thus, the values of x are:

(-\infty, \sqrt[3]{-4}) \text{ and } (0, \infty)
