Answer:

Siw's age is 10 years old

Mona's age is 8 yers old

Mother's age is 40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> Siw's age

y ---> Mona's age

z ---> Mother's age

we know that

Siw is a fourth as old as mother

so

$x=\frac{1}{4}z$ ----> equation A

Mona is a fifth as old as mother

so

$y=\frac{1}{5}z$ ----> equation B

Mother is 22 years older than the two girls together.

so

$z=x+y+22$ ----> equation C

substitute equation A and equation B in equation C

$z=\frac{1}{4}z+\frac{1}{5}z+22$

solve for z

Multiply by 20 both sides to remove the fraction

$20z=5z+4z+440$

$20z-9z=440\\11z=440\\z=40\ years$

Find the value of x

$x=\frac{1}{4}(40)=10\ years$

Find the value of y

$y=\frac{1}{5}(40)=8\ years$

therefore

Siw's age is 10 years old

Mona's age is 8 yers old

Mother's age is 40 years old

An experimenter studies vision in low light by

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Independent variable- time spent in the dark room

Dependent variable - number of objects correctly identified

Conditions of the experiment- low light environment and lighted environments

Scores from the independent variable are used to construct the frequency distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the factor that is being manipulated in an experiment and this time it is the time spent in a darkened room.

The dependent variable is the response variable, in this case, the number of objects correctly identified.

The experimental conditions involved bringing people from a lighted area into a darkened room.

PLEASE HELP ME!! LAST ASSIGNMENT

Darya [45]

Answer:

u = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{10}{14} = \frac{35}{u + 46} \\\\ 10(u + 46) = 35×14 \\\ 10u + 460 = 490 \\\ 10u = 490 - 460 \\\ 10u = 30 \\\ u = \frac{30}{10} \\\\ u = 3$

I hope I've helped you.

In a parenting magazine, Mrs. Smith read an advertisement about all the different ways that bleach can be used to kill bacteria.

babymother [125]

Question:

(a) How many bacteria would be found in 24 hours

(b) How many bacteria would be found in 2 days

(c) How long for 1000 bacteria to be found

Answer:

(a) 282429536481 bacteria

(b) $7.97*10^{22$ bacteria

(c) 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The question illustrates an exponential function

$y = ab^x$

Where

$a = Initial\ Value = 1$

$b=Rate = 3$ --- i.e. triples

$x = number\ of\ hours$

Solving (a): Bacteria in 24 hours

In this case:

$x = 24$

Substitute $x = 24$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$y = 1 * 3^{24$

$y = 1 * 282429536481$

$y = 282429536481$ bacteria

Solving (b): Bacteria in 2 days

$2\ days =48\ hours$

So:

$x = 48$

Substitute $x = 48$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$y = 1 * 3^{48$

$y =7.97*10^{22$ bacteria

Solving (c): How long for 1000 bacteria

In this case:

$y = 1000$

Substitute $y = 1000$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$1000 = 1 *3^x$

$1000 = 3^x$

Take Log of both sides

$Log1000 = Log3^x$

This gives:

$Log1000 = xLog3$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{Log1000}{Log3}$

$x \approx 6$

<em>Hence: It takes 6 days</em>
