Answer:
311.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, let's call:
k = Keith's height
n = nephew's height
Since the ratio is 15:7, we have
(1)
Then, Keith's height is increased by 16%, so the new height of Keith is
(2)
While the nephew's height is doubled:
(3)
We also know that Keith is now 34 cm taller than his nephew, so
(4)
Substituting (2) and (3) into (4), we get

And substituting (1),

Solving for n,

So the current height of the nephew is:

While Keith's current height is

So their total current height is

Answer:
The investment required is: $5687
Step-by-step explanation:
Future Amount A= $7000
Rate r = 6% =0.06
Time t = 4
Compounded Weekly = n= 52
We need to find Principal Amount P
The formula used is: 
Putting values and finding P

So, The investment required is: $5687
Answer:
2b < 56
n = b - 2
b = n + 2
n < 27
b < 28
No, because the difference between Brittany and Nate's age is 2years
Step-by-step explanation:
A.)
Twice Brittany’s age is less than the age of Abraham Lincoln when he died. President Lincoln was 56 years old at the time of his death
Let Brittany's age = b
Twice Brittany's age = 2 × b = 2b
Lincoln's age = 56
2b < 56
B.)
Nate's age = n
Nate is 2 years younger than brittany who is aged 'b'
n = b - 2
C.) b = n + 2
D.)
If 2b < 56 and b = n + 2
2(n + 2) < 56
2n + 2 < 56
2n < 56 - 2
2n < 54 ; n < 27
2b < 56
b < 56/2
b < 28
No, because the difference between Brittany and Nate's age is 2years

Answer:
24 trees per acre
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the optimal tree density per acre and y be the number of bushels yield per tree
Since for each unit change of x from 28 trees/acre, we have 2 unit change of y from 40 bushels per tree in the reversed direction
Change of x from 28 is x - 28
Change of y from 40 is y - 40
Therefore we have y - 40 = -2(x - 28) or y = 40 - 2(x - 28) = -2x + 96
The total bushels per acre should be y bushels/tree * x tree/acre. We want to optimize this. Substitute the above equation in for y and we have


To find the maximum value of this, we can take the first derivative and set it to 0



We know this is a maxima because
. So T is maximum when x = 24 trees per acre
