Todd is 81 years younger than Rosa. 3 years ago, Rosa’s age was 4 times Todd’s age. How old is Todd now?

1 answer:

Delvig [45]3 years ago

8 0

Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30

Todd is 30 now.

You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.

What is the slope of this line?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know two points on the line so we can use the slope formula

(0,6) and (8,8)

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (8-6)/(8-0)

= 2/8

= 1/4

Answer:

<em>Every year, the bear population</em><u><em> shrinks </em></u><em>by a factor of</em><u><em> 2/3 </em></u>.

Explanation:

The concrete question and the function or data were omitted.

I found the complete question on the internet. Please, find attached the picture with the complete question

You must complete the sentence about the yearly rate of change of the bear population, telling whether it grows or shrinks and by what factor.

Thus, the goal is to interpret the rate of change in an exponential model.

The exponential model is:

$N(t)=2187\cdot \bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^t$

Let's analyze that function.

When t = 0, (2/3)⁰ = 1 and N(0) = 2,187 × 1 = 2,187

Thus, the population of bears starts with 2,187 individuals.

For t = 1, the population will be N(1) = 2,187 × (2/3).

For t = 2, the population will be N(2) = 2,187 × (2/3)²

And so on, every year the population of bears is multiplied by a factor of 2/3.

Since, 2/3 is less than 1, every year the population will be decreasing (decaying), by a factor of 2/3.

Thus, the answer, i.e. the complete sentence, is:

Every year, the bear population<u><em> shrinks </em></u>by a factor of<u><em> 2/3 </em></u>.

Answer:

$270 \:m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle.

$bh\frac{1}{2}$

$b \times h \times \frac{1}{2}$

$20 \times 27 \times \frac{1}{2}$

$540 \times 1/2$

$=270$
