Answer:

son = 6 mother = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother = m

son = s

m = 8s

m+6 = 9/2 * (s+6)

so

2(8s + 6) = 9(s +6)

16s + 12 = 9s + 54

16s - 9s = 54 - 12

7s = 42

s = 42/7 = 6 years old

so the mother is 8s = 8*6= 48 years old

Answer:

Son’s present age is 6.

Mother’s present age is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mother age be x.

Let the son’s age be y.

x = 8y

x + 6 = 9/2 × (y + 6)

Put x as 8y in the second equation and solve for y.

8y + 6 = 9/2(y + 6)

8y + 6 = 9/2y + 27

8y - 9/2y = 27 - 6

7/2y = 21

y = 21 × 2/7

y = 42/7

y = 6

Put y as 6 in the first equation and solve for x.

x = 8(6)

x = 48

Mkey [24]

Answer:

∠ p ≈ 59°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in right triangle ABD to find DB

DB² = 5² + 6² = 25 + 36 = 61 ( take square root of both sides )

DB = \sqrt{61}

---------------------------------------

Using the cosine ratio in right triangle DBC

cos p = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{DC}{DB} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{61} } , thus

p = cos^{-1} ( \frac{4}{\sqrt{61} } ) ≈ 59°

Find f(5) please explain
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is represented by the following symbol f(x) where f(x) further represents y like this ,

y=f(x)

so in this question they are asking what is f(5) which means when the value of x is 5 what is the value of y?

We can see in the graph when x = 5 the value of y is -1 to be exact so

f(5) = -1

or

y=f(x)\\-1 = f(5)\\

Answer:

  h(-5) = 129

Step-by-step explanation:

Put -5 where x is and do the arithmetic.

  h(-5) = 4(-5)² -5(-5) +4

  h(-5) = 4(25) +25 +4 = 129
