The present age of father is 86 years old and present age of son is 48 years old

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, a father is now 38 years older than his son

Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son

Let "x" be the age of son now

Therefore, from given,

Father age now = 38 + age of son now

Father age now = 38 + x

<em><u>Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son</u></em>

Age of son ten years ago = age of son now - 10

Age of son ten years ago = x - 10

Age of father ten years ago = 38 + x - 10

Then we get,

Age of father ten years ago = twice the age of son ten years ago

38 + x - 10 = 2(x - 10)

28 + x = 2x - 20

2x - x = 28 + 20

x = 48

Thus son age now is 48 years old

Father age now = x + 38 = 48 + 38 = 86

Thus present age of father is 86 years old and present age of son is 48 years old

I need help With my homeworkTITLE: Interpret and write equations From Table
Anon25 [30]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

a) 20 will represent the set price of admission

b) 3 is the price of each ticket

c) x will be the total number of ticket bought

d) y will be the total amount of money spent.

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

The equation given is written in slope-intercept form of a line. The slope-intercept form is in the form y = mx +b

where

• m is the ,rate of change ,or slope

,

• b is the ,intercept, (constant)

Given the equation that represents the total amount of mney the hunter will spend expressed as y = 20 + 3x

a) Since 20 is a constant value, it is more like the initial price. Based on the question, 20 will represent the set price of admission.

b) 3 is the price of each ticket needed to go on the ride

c) x will be the total number of ticket bought for the rides

d) As mentioned earlier, y will be the total amount of money the hunter will spend for the ride including the admission price.

Suppose you cool a pot of soup in a 20°C room. Right when you take the soup off the stove, you measure its temperature to be 180
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

  • 28.3 minutes
  • 53.6°C

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature of the soup is described by Newton's Law of Cooling, which says the rate of change of temperature is proportional to the difference between the temperatures of the soup and the room. The solution to this differential equation is the exponential function ...

  f(t) = a +b·c^(t/τ)

where a is the room temperature, b is the initial difference in temperature, and c is the fractional change in the difference in temperature over time period τ.

__

<h3>application</h3>

For the given scenario, we find ...

  a = room temperature = 20 . . . . degrees C

  b = (180 -20) = 160 . . . . degrees C

  c = (100 -20)/(180 -20) = 80/160 = 1/2 . . . . in τ = 20 minutes

So, the formula for the temperature of the soup is ...

  f(t) = 20 +160(1/2)^(t/20) . . . . . . . degrees C after t minutes

__

<h3>time to 80°C</h3>

Solving for t when f(t) = 80, we find ...

  80 = 20 +160(1/2)^(t/20)

  3/8 = (1/2)^(t/20) . . . . . subtract 20, divide by 160

  20×log(3/8)/log(1/2) = t ≈ 28.3 . . . take logarithms, divide by coefficient of t

It will take about 28.3 minutes to cool to 80°C.

__

<h3>temp at 45 minutes</h3>

The temperature after 45 minutes is ...

  f(45) = 20 +160(1/2)^(45/20)

  f(45) ≈ 53.6 . . . . degrees C

After 45 minutes the temperature of the soup will be about 53.6°C.
