your cousin is 26 years older than your sister. The product of their ages is 560. How old is your sister?

2 answers:

8 0

It has already been answered, but here is how to solve. C is the variable for cousin's age and S is for sister.

S+26=C
C•S=560

Substitute C in the first equation into the second one.

(S+26)•S=560

S^2+26S=560

S^2+26S-560=0

(S+40)(S-14)

S=14 or -40

Eliminate
-40 The answer is 14. Your sister is 14.

1-Describe the error in the way the calculation of the slope of the two points is set up and/or solved. Please be specific. Do n

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Please check explanations for answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s have two points (5,10) and (15,20)

1. Let’s find the slope of these two points

Mathematically, the slope can be calculated using the formula;

m = (y2-y1)/(x1-x2)

So m = (20-10)/(5-15) = 10/-10 = -1

The error here is the formula used in calculating the slope

The formula should be;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and not x1-x2

2. To calculate the slope correctly, we have;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

So the slope will be;

m = (20-10)/(15-5) = 10/10 = 1

In the point slope form, the equation can be represented as;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Let’s use the point (5,10)

y- 10 = 1(x-5)

The above is the point slope form

using one of the points and the correct slope of the line

Cooper earned $228.00 at his job when he worked for 10 hours. How much money did he earn each hour?

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Cooper made $22.80 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cooper made a total of $228.00 within 10 hours, the money he made each hour is equivalent to the rate of change. That means that in order to get the amount of money made in one hour, you must first turn the ten hours into one using division. Since you divided ten into one using division, you divide the $228.00 by ten using division.

228 divided by 10 is 22.8, therefore Cooper is making $22.80 per hour.
