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.

igomit [66]

Answer:

A) 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

#We first calculate the campus' area:

a=lw\\\\=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}\\=0.125 \ mi^2

#We then calculate the campus' map area in square ft:

A=lw\\\\=0.5 \times 1\\\\=0.5 ft^2

Ratio is a comparison between two dimensions:

Ratio=\frac{0.125}{0.5}\\\\=0.25\\\\=\frac{1}{4}\\\\=1:4

Hence, the ratio of the area in square miles of the campus to the area in square feet of the map is 1:4
