Answer: fluffy = 33yrs

Spot = 19 yrs

Skampy = 39 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let fluffy = x

Spot = y

Skampy =z

x + y + z = 91 -------1

x -14 =y ------2

z = x + 6 --------3

Put eqn 2 and 3 in eqn 1

x + x - 14 + x + 6 = 91

3x = 99

x = 33

y = 33-14= 19

z = 33+6 = 39

A rectangle is constructed with its base on theâ x-axis and two of its vertices on the parabola yequals=2525minusâxsquared2. wha
Nina [5.8K]
You should have drawn1 - x-axis and y-axis in light pencil.2 - graphed a down-facing parabola with the top of the frown on the y-axis at y = 2.  It should be crossing the x-axis at ±√2.  This should be in dark pencil or another color.3 - In dark pencil or a completely new color, draw a rectangle with one of the horizontal sides sitting on top of the x-axis and the other horizontal side touching the parabola at each of the top corners of the rectangle. The rectangle will have half of its base in the positive x-axis and the other half on the negative x-axis.  It should be split right down the middle by the y-axis.  So each half of the base we will say is "x" units long.  So the whole base is 2x units long (the x units to the right of the y-axis, and the x units to the left of the y-axis)  I so wish I could draw you this picture...   In the vertical direction, both vertical edges are the same length and we will call that y.   The area that we want to maximize has a width 2x long, and a height of y tall. So A = 2xy     This is the equation we want to maximize (take derivative and set it = 0), we call it the "primary equation", but we need it in one variable. This is where the "secondary equation" comes in.  We need to find a way to change the area formula to all x's or all y's. Since it is constrained to having its height limited by the parabola, we could use the fact that y=2 - x2 to make the area formula in only x's.   Substitute in place of the "y", "2 - x2" into the area formula. A = 2xy = 2x(2 - x2)   then simplify A = 4x - 2x3     NOW you are ready to take the deriv and set it = 0 dA/dx = 4 - 6x2       0 = 4 - 6x2   6x2 = 4    x2 = 4/6 or 2/3 So x = ±√(2/3) Width remember was 2x.   So the width is 2[√(2/3)]Height is y which is 2 - x2 = 2 - 2/3  =4/3

What is the quotient written in scientific notation? 6 x 10^24 /8 x 10^8
Artist 52 [7]

When you divide 6x10^24 by 8x10^8 you end up with \frac{6}{8} x10^{16}

This simplifies to 0.75x10^{16}

Now this number is not written in scientific notation as it does not have its first digit before the decimal, so we must move the decimal of this one to the right.

To do that you must multiply the number by 10.

This means that the exponet of 10 must decrease by 1.

This makes the answer 7.5x10^{15}
