Two times Antonio’s age plus three times Sarah’s age equals 34. Sarah’s age is also five times Antonio’s age. How old is Sarah?

1 answer:

5 0

Let Sarah's age be s and Antonio's age be a.

According to your question,

2a + 3s = 34
s = 5a

substituting the value of s in eq. 1,

2a + 3(5a) = 34

= 2a + 15 a = 34

17a = 34

thus, a = 34/17 = 2

substituting the value of a is s,

s = 5(2)
= 10

Thus, Sarah's age is 10 years and Antonio's age is 2 years.

Using two normal dice, what is the probability of rolling numbers that add up to 3?

Blizzard [7]

That would be rolling a 1 and a 2 .

so possibilities are 1 on first die and 2 on the second die

OR 2 on first die and 1 on the second.

Both of these have a probability of 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36

so required probability = 1/36 + 1/36 = 2/36 = 1/18

Answer: $y \in R; y \neq 0$
Explanation: For this, it is often best to find the horizontal asymptote, and then take limits as x approaches the vertical asymptote and the end behaviours.

Well, we know there will be a horizontal asymptote at y = 0, because as x approaches infinite and negative infinite, the graph will shrink down closer and closer to 0, but never touch it. We call this a horizontal asymptote.
So we know that there is a restriction on the y-axis.

Now, since we know the end behaviours, let's find the asymptotic behaviours.

As x approaches the asymptote of 7⁻, then y would be diverging out to negative infinite.
As x approaches the asymptote at 7⁺, then y would be diverging out to negative infinite.

So, our range would be: $y \in R; y \neq 0$

Prove: If C⊂A and D⊂B then D−A⊂B−C

nalin [4]

Let $x\in D\setminus A$ , so that $x\in D$ but $x\not\in A$ . Since $D\subset B$ , it follows that $x\in B$ , and since $C\subset A$ , it follows that $x\not\in C$ , which means $x\in B\setminus C$ .
