Answer:

Maggie is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, I just kept trying ages starting from 10 because I knew it wasn't going to be less than that. Then I did whatever age, in this case 13, and multiply it by 4. Then minus 11 from that number. Then take that end number and add it to the beginning number(maggies age) and you should get 54.

Math Equation Explanation:

13*4 = 52 (Maggies Age) x 4

52-11= 41 The question stated that Maggie's brother was 11 -------------------------------------years younger than her age times 4.

41 + 13 =54 The sum of both their ages.

Answer:

1) True 2) False

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given $\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}=\sum\limits_{i=3}^{11}\frac{1}{i}$

To verify that the above equality is true or false:

Now find $\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}$

Expanding the summation we get

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}=\frac{1}{0+3}+\frac{1}{1+3}+\frac{1}{2+3}+\frac{1}{3+3}+\frac{1}{4+3}+\frac{1}{5+3}+\frac{1}{6+3}+\frac{1}{7+3}+\frac{1}{8+3}$ $\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{11}$

Now find $\sum\limits_{i=3}^{11}\frac{1}{i}$

Expanding the summation we get

$\sum\limits_{i=3}^{11}\frac{1}{i}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{11}$

Comparing the two series we get,

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}=\sum\limits_{i=3}^{11}\frac{1}{i}$ so the given equality is true.

2) Given $\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}=\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}$

Verify the above equality is true or false

Now find $\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}$

Expanding the summation we get

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}=\frac{3(0)+3}{0+6}+\frac{3(1)+3}{1+6}+\frac{3(2)+3}{2+6}+\frac{3(3)+4}{3+6}+\frac{3(4)+3}{4+6}$

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}=\frac{3}{6}+\frac{6}{7}+\frac{9}{8}+\frac{12}{8}+\frac{15}{10}$

now find $\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}$

Expanding the summation we get

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}=\frac{3(0)}{0+5}+\frac{3(1)}{1+5}+\frac{3(2)}{2+5}+\frac{3(3)}{3+5}$

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}=\frac{3}{6}+\frac{6}{7}+\frac{9}{8}$

Comparing the series we get that the given equality is false.

ie, $\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}\neq\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}$

The graph if f(x) shown below has the same shape as the graph of g(x)=3x2 but it is shifted down 2 units what is it’s equation

mixer [17]

3x2-2 since the vertical shift would just add a -2 to the equation
