Answer:

<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Paul = x

Age of Selena = x -6

Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:

x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)

x + 15 = 4x - 24

x - 4x = -24 - 15

- 3x = -39

x = 13

<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>

Their present ages :

Paul = 13

Selena = 7

<h3>Further Explanation </h3>

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one.

Can be stated in the form:

\large {\boxed {\bold {ax = b}}

or

<h3>ax + b = c, </h3>

where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable

Whereas the two-variable linear equation is a linear equation that has 2 variables and the exponent is one

Can be stated in the form:

\large {\boxed {\bold {ax + bx = c}}}

x, y = variable

In the statement of the task:

  • Selena is 6 years younger than Paul.

can be stated in the equation:

Selena (S) = Paul (P) -6 ⇒S = P-6 ⇒equation 1

  • In 15 years, Paul will be 4 times the age that Selena is now.

The equation: 15 + P = 4S⇒equation 2

Equation 1 is substituted into equation 2 so that it becomes:

15 + P = 4 (P-6)

So the solution is:

15+P = 4P-24

15+24 = 3P

39 = 3P

P = 13

From equation 1

S = P - 6

S = 13 - 6

S = 7

For the function f(x)=(1/2)⋅6^x , identify the domain, range, y-intercept, and asymptote.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (1/2) *6^x = 2^-1 * 2^x *3^x

y= 2^ (x-1) * 3^x

Domain represents all values that x can have and is all real numbers

Range all values that y can have and is y > 0 ( all real numbers that are positive)

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis so x=0 there

y = 2^(0-1) *3^0 = 1/2 *1 = 1/2

the asymptote is at y= 0

Data was collected on the average winter temperature and the number of days with snow of a random groupof cities in the United S
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

d. negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Two variables are positive correlated when one goes up or down the other goes in the same direction and they are negative correlated when one goes up or down the other variable goes in the other direction.

In this case, the higher the temperature rises, the less snow. Therefore we have a negative correlation

If f(x) = 3x2 1 and g(x) = 1 – x, what is the value of (f –
pychu [463]
F(x) = 3x^2 + 1
g(x) = 1 - x
(f - g)(x) = 3x^2 + 1 - (1 - x) = 3x^2 + 1 - 1 + x = 3x^2 + x
(f - g)(2) = 3(2)^2 + 2 = 3(4) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14.
