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

The force (F) needed to cause the acceleration (a) of an object of mass, m, is given by the equation, F = ma where m is the obje
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: According to Newton s Second Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Force and Acceleration, a force upon an object causes it to accelerate according to the formula net force = mass x acceleration. So the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass.

7/28 in simplest form
vampirchik [111]
\frac { 7 }{ 28 }

28 is 4 times 7, so we will rewrite it like that.

28=4\cdot 7\\ \\ \frac { 7 }{ 28 } =\frac { 7 }{ 4\cdot 7 }

7 is 7 times 7, so we will rewrite it like that.

\frac { 7 }{ 28 } =\frac { 7 }{ 4\cdot 7 } =\frac { 1\cdot 7 }{ 4\cdot 7 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \cdot \frac { 7 }{ 7 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \cdot 1=\frac { 1 }{ 4 }

So the simplest form is,

\boxed { \frac { 1 }{ 4 }  }

Consider the graph of the cosine function shown below.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a. Amplitude: 4

Period: 1

b. The maximum values occur at \theta=0,1,2

The minimum values occur at \theta=\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}

The zeros occur at \theta=\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{5}{4},\frac{7}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the graph that;

-4\le f(x) \le 4.

This implies that;

|A|=4.

The amplitude is 4.

The function also completed one full cycle on the interval [0,1]

The period is

T=|1-0|=1

The maximum values occur at \theta=0,1,2

The minimum values occur at \theta=\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}

The zeros occur at \theta=\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{5}{4},\frac{7}{4}

This is where the graph intersected the x-axis.
