Answer: The age of the twins is 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the age of older sister be x

Let the age of twins sister be x-9, as they are born after 9 years.

Product of their ages be

x(x-9)(x-9)\\\\=x(x^2-18x+81)\\\\=x^3-18x^2+81x

Sum of their ages will be

x+x-9+x-9\\\\=3x-18

According to question,

1861+3x-18=x^3-18x^2+81x\\\\x^3-18x^2+81x-3x+18-1861=0\\\\x^3-18x^2+78x-1843=0\\\\x=19

So, Age of older sister will be 19 years.

Age of the twins will be

19-9=10\ years

Hence, the age of the twins is 10 years.

Which exponential equation is equivalent to the logarithmic equation below? c = ln 2
Sophie [7]
\text{A logarithmic lemma: } \\ \text{It follows that: } \log_a a = 1
\text{Following this property, we can see that: } a^{\log_{a} a} = a
\text{Furthermore, we can create more general properties: } a^{\log_a b} = b

c = \log_e 2 \Rightarrow e^{c} = e^{\log_e 2} \\ \text{Using our third property, we see that: } e^{c} = 2
\text{And finally, this works for any } \log_{a} b \left\{a > 0, b \in \mathbb{R}\right\}

The points (-10, 0) and (-5, 3) fall on a particular line. What is it’s equation in slope-intercept form?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

  y = 3/5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

When given two points, it is convenient to start with the 2-point form of the equation of a line, then rearrange it to the form needed for the problem. For points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the equation is ...

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) +y1

Filling in the given point coordinates, this is ...

  y = (3 -0)/(-5 -(-10))·(x -(-10)) + 0

  y = 3/5(x +10)

  y = (3/5)x + 6
