Answer:

If the child is currently 6 years old and the mom is 42, in three years she'll be 45 and he'll be 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The son is y and the mom is x

x=7y

x+3=5(y+3)

7y+3=5y+15

7y=5y+12

2y=12

y=6

Answer:

Mother's present age: 42

Son's present age: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the mother's age

Let y represent the son's age

The mother is currently seven times (×7) older than her son i.e.

x = 7 × y

x = 7y .............. (eqn 1)

In three years time i.e. the mother and son's age plus three (3)

x + 3 and y + 3

The mother will be 5 times (×5) older i.e.

x + 3 = 5 × (y + 3)

x + 3 = 5(y + 3)

x + 3 = 5y + 15

Collect like terms

x = 5y + 12 ........... (eqn 2)

Since x = 7y in eqn 1, we substitute x in eqn 2 i.e.

7y = 5y + 12

7y - 5y = 12

2y = 12

y = 6

Since y=6, we substitute 6 in eqn 1

x = 7y

x = 7 × 6

x = 42

Hence, the present age of the mother and her son are 42 and 6 respectively.

babymother [125]

Answer:

B 12.68

Step-by-step explanation:

you will need to find the distance between each segment-

so the length of DC, CF, FE, ED

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})  ^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})  ^{2}  }

DC:

D(-2,-1) C(-1,2)

d=\sqrt{(-1--2)^{2} +(2--1)^{2} } \\d=\sqrt{1^{2}+3^{2}  } \\d=\sqrt{10} =3.16

CF:

C(-1,2) F(1,1)

d=\sqrt{(1--1)^{2} +(1-2)^{2} } \\d=\sqrt{2^{2}+-1^{2}  } \\d=\sqrt{4+1} \\d=\sqrt{x} 5=2.24

FE

F(1,1) E(2,-2)

d=\sqrt{(2-1)^{2} +(-2-1)^{2} } \\d=\sqrt{1^{2} +(-3)^{2} } \\d=\sqrt{1+9} \\d=\sqrt{10}= 3.16

ED

E(2,-2) D(-2,-1)

d=\sqrt{(-2-2)^{2} +(-1--2)^{2} } \\d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+1^{2}  } \\d=\sqrt{16+1} \\d=\sqrt{17}= 4.12\\

3.16+2.24+3.16+4.12= 12.68

The velocity v of blood that flows in a blood vessel with radius r and length ℓ at a distance r from the central axis is v(r) =
pogonyaev
v(r)=4P\eta\ell(R^2-r^2)

(assuming R is the radius of the vessel, and that 0\le r\le R)

The average velocity of the blood is given by

\displaystyle\frac1{R-0}\int_{r=0}^{r=R}v(r)\,\mathrm dr
=\displaystyle\frac{4P\eta\ell}R\int_{r=0}^{r=R}(R^2-r^2)\,\mathrm dr
=\dfrac{4P\eta\ell}R\left(\dfrac23R^3\right)
=\dfrac{8P\eta\ell}3R^2

What is 3.116372 rounded to the nearest hundred thousandths place?
Neporo4naja [7]
Answer: 3.11637

Explanation: The hundred thousandths place is in the fifth place after the decimal. To avoid remembering this, you can simply note that the first place after the decimal is the tenths. You simply keep progressing as you would in whole numbers.

For example 10 becomes 100 when a zero is added. This zero is always added right beside the first zero and indicates the hundreds place.

Furthermore, the general rule for rounding is if the number after the preferred rounding place is 4 or less, the number remains the same. 5 or more means it goes up by one digit.
