mr john has a son and a daughter , the son being 4 years older than daughter.Five years ago the age of mr john was 23 years more

than the sum of ages of his son and daughter. After 18 years from now the age of mr john will be 17 times the difference of ages of his son and daughter.Find their present ages?

First, let us define our variables.

Let

x = age of the father

y = age of the son

z = age of the daughter

 

5 years ago..

(x – 5) = age of the father

(y – 5) = age of the son

(z – 5) = age of the daughter

 

After 18 years...

(x + 18) = age of the father

(y + 18) = age of the son

(z +18) = age of the daughter

 

From the first condition

y = z + 5 à eqn 1

5 years ago

(x-5) = 23 + (y-5) + (z-5)

x –y –z = 18 à eqn 2

after 18 years

(x+18) = 17*[(y +18 –z – 18)]

x – 17y + 17z = -18 à eqn 3

 

solving the 3 equations simultaneously

x = 67

y = 27

z = 22

Answer:

YZ = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since RY is an angle bisector then the ratio of the sides of the triangle are equal to the corresponding ratio of the base, that is

\frac{YX}{YZ} = \frac{XR}{ZR} , substitute values

\frac{11.9}{YZ} = \frac{7}{5} ( cross- multiply )

7YZ = 59.5 ( divide both sides by 7 )

YZ = 8.5

PLEASE HELP, BEEN STUCK FOR AN HOUR

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To sketch a quadratic function we need two things:

1)  Nature of the curve

2) Vertex

3) y-intercept

The completing square form of the quadratic equation is:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where,

a represents the nature of the graph it can be maximum or minimum , meaning, if a > 0 then minimum(u shaped curve/happy face) and if a < 0 then maximum(n shaped curve/sad face).

h represents the x-coordinate of the vertex.

k represents the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Now if we compare g(x) with our completing square form we get the following:

g(x)=(x-4)^2+12\\y=a(x-h)^2+k\\

When we simply compare the following we get ,

a = 1 , which means a > 0 since 1 is greater than 0 the nature of the curve will be minimum(happy face/u shaped)

h = 4, which means the x-coordinate of the vertex is 4

k = 12, which means the y-coordinate of the vertex is 12

Now we have the nature of the curve, we have the vertex now all we need is the y-intercept.

For y-intercept:

For y-intercept meaning at which point will the graph cross the y-axis(0 , y)

For that we expand the formula and turn it into the standard quadratic equation form by using the formula (a - b)^2

y=(x-4)^2+12\\y=((x)^2-2(x)(4)+(4)^2)+12\\y=x^2-8x+16+12\\y=x^2-8x+28\\

now we compare with the standard quadratic form:

y=ax^2+bx+c

here c is the y-intercept and while comparing we can see that c = 28 ,

so the curve cuts the y-axis at (0 , 28)

So we have all the three things that we need to graph our function.

So we just plot the y-intercept , the vertex , and join the dots. Just a tip draw a dotted line on the x-coordinate of the vertex because the vertex point is also called as a turning point where the graph goes in the opposite direction just like a mirror reflection. I attached 2 images you can check them out. One is handmade(i know i suck at drawing but still xD) , one is sketched by online graphing calculator.

Please help! I attached the question below.

Answer:

\frac{2(c+2)}{c(c-2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{c^{2}-4 }{6c^{4}+15c^{3}}=\frac{(c-2)(c+2)}{c(6c^{3}+15c^{2}) }

Identity used:

a^{2}-b^{2}=(a-b)(a+b)

\frac{c^{2}-4c+4}{12c^{3}+30c^{2}}=\frac{(c-2)^{2}}{2(6c^{3}+15c^{2}) }

Now let us divide the modified expressions:

\frac{(c-2)(c+2)}{c(6c^{3}+15c^{2})} ÷ \frac{(c-2)^2}{2(6c^{3}+15c^{2}) }

we get:

\frac{2(c+2)}{c(c-2)}
