Answer:

3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

let m be Musa's age and d be Dayo's age

let x be number of years ago

m = 47

d = 22

(m - x)(d - x) = 836

(47 - x)(22 - x) = 836

1034 - 69x + x² = 836

x² - 69x + 198 = 0

This is in standard from ax² + bx + c = 0

Factor to be (x+q)(x+p)=0

p*q = c = 198

p+q = b = -69

198 = (-3)*(-66)

(-3) + (-66) = -69

Factored form is:

(x - 66)(x - 3) = 0

Set each bracket to 0

x - 66 = 0

x = 66 <= This number is inadmissable because neither Musa nor Dayo reached age 66.

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

The product of their ages was 836 3 years ago.

A car braked with a constant deceleration of 16ft/s2, producing skid marks measuring 200 feet before coming to a stop. How fast
Llana [10]

Answer:the car was traveling at a speed of 80 ft/s when the brakes were first applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car braked with a constant deceleration of 16ft/s^2. This is a negative acceleration. Therefore,

a = - 16ft/s^2

While decelerating, the car produced skid marks measuring 200 feet before coming to a stop.

This means that it travelled a distance,

s = 200 feet

We want to determine how fast the car was traveling (in ft/s) when the brakes were first applied. This is the car's initial velocity, u.

Since the car came to a stop, its final velocity, v = 0

Applying Newton's equation of motion,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0 = u^2 - 2 × 16 × 200

u^2 = 6400

u = √6400

u = 80 ft/s
