Answer: the son is 60 years old

Step-by-step explanation: First you divide the fathers age by 2 (60 / 2)=30 so if the father is four times the boys age then the father would be 120 divided by 2 because the son is half the fathers age the son would be 60 years old.

The boy would be 10 when his father was four times his age because the boy was born when the father was 30 and now that the boy is half of 60 he's 30. By subtracting 60 from 30 that gives you the age of the father when the boy was born. So when the boy is ten that would mean the father is 40 and 40 divided by ten is four

2) What are the dimensions of a rectangular prism that has a volume of 2x4 -1?

densk [106]

The depth is what makes this a three dimensional figure since there are three dimensions: length, width, and depth! All three of these dimensions are used to find the volume of a rectangular prism.

Find the minimum or maximum value of the function. What is the H? (Desmos)

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Minimum: (2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=3( $x^{2}$ -4x)+16

=3( $x^{2}$ -4x+4-4)+16 (- For the balance of equation, and attention 1)

=3 $(x-2)^{2}$ -3*4+16

=3 $(x-2)^{2}$ +4

<h3>Attention:</h3>

1. $(a-b)^{2}=a^{2} -2ab+b^{2}$

2. The formula for the vertex form is y = $a(x-h)^{2}+k$ , the vertex is (h,k)

With these numbers I have to find the median. Please help mee!!

Aloiza [94]

Write them in order from least to greatest,
11.9, 12.0, 12.3, 12.4, 12.4, 12.5, 12.7,12.8, 12.9, 13.1, 13.2, 13.8
then eliminate one from each side until you find the middle one,
12.5, 12.7
you have two middle, so you find the middle number in between them.

12.6 is the median.

Solve using demoivres theorem

pashok25 [27]

It's difficult to make out, but I think the task is to expand

$(\sqrt3-i)^4$

Write the number in polar form first:

$\sqrt3-i=2e^{-i\pi/6}$

By DeMoivre's theorem, you have

$(\sqrt3-i)^4=\left(2e^{-i\pi/6}\right)^4=2^4e^{-i4\pi/6}=16e^{-i2\pi/3}$

and converting back to Cartesian form, this number is equivalent to

$16\left(\cos\dfrac{2\pi}3-i\sin\dfrac{2\pi}3\right)=16\left(-\dfrac12+-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\right)=-8(1+i\sqrt3)$
