Answer:

Mariya is 1 year old

Vikram is 7 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the present ages of Mariya and Vikram.

Let the present age of Mariya be M and the present age of Vikram be V

From the question, we are told that in 6 years time, Mariya will be as old as Vikram is now

Thus, mathematically;

M + 6 = V ••••••(i)

Furthermore , in 2 years time Vikram will be 3 time older than Mariya

Mathematically;

( V + 2) = 3( M + 2)

V + 2 = 3M + 6

V = 3M + 6-2

V = 3M + 4 •••••••(ii)

So let’s equate the V

3m + 4 = m + 6

3m -m = 6-4

2m = 2

m = 1

But V = m + 6

V = 1 + 6

V = 7

If a third plane could be drawn which contains both lines a and b, then what must the lines be?
Akimi4 [234]
The line a and line b are parallel to each other since if you draw another line or a third plane and it contains both points both in line a and in line b it means that this third plane passes through to the both lines a and b.  In order to achieve both lines a and b can be passed by the third plane, they should be parallel to each other.

Consider the tables created using an initial investment of $1,000 and quarterly compounding of interest.
Andru [333]

Answer:

(d)  The functions are not inverses because for each ordered pair (x, y) for one function, there is no corresponding ordered pair (y, x) for the other function.

Step-by-step explanation:

If functions are represented by a table of ordered pairs, their inverse function is the set of ordered pairs with the x- and y-values swapped.

Here, for (x, y) = (0.75, 1038.18), the pair from the other table that begins to correspond is (y, x) = (0.75, 1057.81). These reversed pairs are not the same, so the functions are not inverses of each other.

_____

<em>Comment on the tables</em>

Table A is for a 5-year investment; table B is for a 7.5 year investment. They cannot be inverses of each other.
