Answer:

The mother (Rhoda) is 46 years old.

The daughter (Tenica) is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the mother (Rhoda) be m

Let the age of the daughter (Tenica) be d.

The sum of Rhonda and her daughter Tenica’s age is 64. This can be written as:

m + d = 64 ... (1)

The difference in their ages is 28. This can be written as:

m – d = 28 ... (2)

From the above illustrations, the equation obtained are:

m + d = 64 ... (1)

m – d = 28 ... (2)

Solving by elimination method:

Add equation 1 and 2 together

. m + d = 64

+ m – d = 28

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

2m = 92

Divide both side by 2

m = 92/2

m = 46

Substitute the value of m into any of the equation to obtain the value of d. Here, we shall use equation 1

m + d = 64

m = 46

46 + d = 64

Collect like terms

d = 64 – 46

d = 18

Therefore, the mother (Rhoda) is 46 years old and the daughter (Tenica) is 18 years old.

The function f(x)=Acosh(Cx)+Bsinh(Cx). I need help determining the value of constant C>0 when the second derivative f''(x)=25
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

C = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to remember that:

For the function:

h(x) = Sinh(k*x)

We have:

h'(x) = k*Cosh(k*x)

and for the Cosh function:

g(x) = Cosh(k*x)

g'(x) = k*Cosh(k*x).

Now let's go to our problem:

We have f(x) = A*cosh(C*x) + B*Sinh(C*x)

We want to find the value of C such that:

f''(x) = 25*f(x)

So let's derive f(x):

f'(x) = A*C*Sinh(C*x) + B*C*Cosh(C*x)

and again:

f''(x) = A*C*C*Cosh(C*x) + B*C*C*Sinh(C*x)

f''(x) = C^2*(A*cosh(C*x) + B*Sinh(C*x)) = C^2*f(x)

And we wanted to get:

f''(x) = 25*f(x) = C^2*f(x)

then:

25 = C^2

√25 = C

And because we know that C > 0, we take the positive solution of the square root, then:

C = 5

Lian invested an amount of money at an interest rate of 5.2% per year.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$6500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money invested by Lian be $x

Interest rate = 5.2% per year

interest earned in first year will be  5.2% of  amount of money invested by Lian .

(note: since in first year there will be no interest accrued on interest so interest for first year is simple interest )

interest earned in one year if money invested by Lian is $x

= 5.2% of $x  (1)

But , it is given in one year  she received interest of 338 dollars

so, 338 dollars must be equal to 5.2% of $x

equating $338 with  5.2% of $x  , we have

5.2% of x  = 338

=> (5.2/100) * x = 338

=>5.2 x = 338*100

=> x = 33800/5.2 = 6500.

Thus,  amount of money Lian invested is $6500.
