This can be a trick question.

You can treat this problem as a problem of subtraction of integers.

Let B.C. years be represented by negative integers, and let A.D. years be represented by positive integers. Then you subtract.

40 B.C. is -4030 A.D. is 30


Then you have 30 - (-40) = 30 + 40 = 70

So far it's straightforward, and it seems the person lived for 70 years.


Here comes the (possible) trick with this question.

There was no year 0.

The counting of the years started with year 1, then year, 2, etc.

When we account for years before the year 1 A.D., the closest year to 1 A.D. is 1 B.C., not the year 0.

Since there is no year 0, then you must subtract 1 year from our calculation above, and the person lived 69 years.

The coordinate plane below represents a city. Points A through F are schools in the city.
Usimov [2.4K]
Part A. The technique on how to find the equation that only applies to point D and E, is to create a line or curve that only includes two of these points. In this case, I created a random parabola that isolates points C and F from the rest of the points. First, we have to find the equation of the parabola through its general forms:

(x - h)² = +/-4a(y-k)      or    (y - k)² = +/-4a(x - h)

For parabolas drawn like that in the picture, the general form is (x - h)² = +4a(y-k), where the vertex is (h,k) and a is the distance from the vertex to the focus. From the picture, the vertex is at (0,3). Then, we use point D(-2,4) to determine a:

(-2 - 0)² = +4a(4 - 3)
4a = 4

So, the equation of the parabola is:

x² = 4(y - 3)
x² = 4y - 12

Part B. Point D was already verified above. Now for point E(2,4)
x² = 4y - 12
2² ? 4(4) - 12
4 ? 4
4 = 4

Part C. For y < 7x − 4, ignore the equality symbol first and graph the line. Assign random values of x, then you get corresponding values of y. Plot them as shown in the second picture. The line is shown in red. Next, test the equation by choosing a random point. Let's choose the purple point at (4,3).

3 ? 7(4) − 4
3 ? 24
3 < 24

Thus, it applies to the purple point, and all the other areas to that area. The shaded region are all solutions of the inequality. So, Erica is only interested in points E, C and F.

S_A_V [24]
So, 252 is 1/5 of the total workforce then, the total or whole will then be 5/5 or 1 whole... well, if 252 is 1/5, what's 5/5?
