Crazy boy [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the boy's present age be x.

Let his dad's present name be y.

Last year, his dad was 8 times as old as him. Subtract one year from each their ages and multiply the son's age by 8:

(y - 1) = 8(x - 1) ______ (1)

Now, his dad's age is the square of his age:

y = x^2 _________(2)

From (1):

y = 8x - 8 + 1

y = 8x -7

Put this in (2):

8x - 7 = x^2\\\\=> x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0

This problem has been represented in the form of a quadratic equation.

Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A C B is a right angle. The length of the hypotenuse is 20.
kherson [118]

Answer:

The length of BC is needed because it is the side opposite ∠A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the right angles triangle as shown in the attachment, we can get sin(A) without using Pythagoras theorem. Instead we will use SOH CAH TOA trigonometry identity.

According to SOH:

Sin(A) = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin(A) = |BC|/|AB|

Opposite side of the triangle is the  side facing ∠A.

Based on the formula, we will need to get the opposite side of the triangle which is length BC for us to be able to determine sinA since the hypotenuse is given.

Simplify the expression and show work 4(3x-2)-7(x+5)
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

5x - 43

Explanation:

Given the below expression;

4\left(3x-2\right)-7\left(x+5\right)

To simplify the above, we'll go ahead and use the numbers outside the parentheses to multiply the ones inside to clear the parentheses as seen below;

\begin{gathered} 12x-8-7x-35 \\ =12x-7x-8-35 \\ =5x-43 \end{gathered}

So the answer is 5x - 43
