There seems to be a typo. You wrote 1313, but I'm assuming you meant to say the fraction 1/3. If this assumption is correct, then continue with the rest of the solution. If the assumption is not correct, then ignore what I wrote below and please provide clarification of what the "1313" should represent. Thank you.

----------------

B = your brother's age

S = your sister's age

Y = your age

All of these ages are current present day ages.

---------------

"your brother is 1/3 your age" so B = (1/3)Y or B = Y/3.

"Your sister is 6 years older than your brother" so S = B+6

"Your sister is 10 years old" so S = 10.

---------------

S = B+6

B+6 = S

B+6 = 10 ... plug in S = 10

B+6-6 = 10-6 ... subtract 6 from both sides

B = 4

Your brother is 4 years old.

---------------

B = Y/3

Y/3 = B

Y/3 = 4 .... plug in B = 4

3(Y/3) = 3*4 ... multiply both sides by 3

Y = 12

<h3>Answer: Your age is 12 years old.</h3>

note: This answer hinges on assumption that the "1313" should be "1/3".

Use this equation to find dy/dx. 3y cos x = x2 + y2
Art [367]
Given: 3y cos x = x² + y²

Define y' =  \frac{dy}{dx}

Then by implicit differentiation, obtain
3y' cos(x) - 3y sin(x) = 2x + 2y y'
y' [3 cos(x) - 2y] = 2x + 3y sinx)

Answer:
\frac{dy}{dx} =  \frac{2x+3y \, sin(x)}{3cos(x)-2y}

The graph of the function f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2) is shown below.Which statement about the function is true?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The first statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is f(x) = - (x + 6)(x + 2)  

⇒ f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12

Now, condition for a function f(x) to be increasing at x = a is f'(a) > 0.

Now, f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12

⇒ f'(x) = -2x - 8 {Differentiating with respect to x}

Now, f'(a) = -2a - 8 {Here a can be any real value}

And, the condition for increasing function at x = a is  

- 2a - 8 > 0

⇒ - 2a > 8

⇒ a < - 4

Therefore, the first statement is true i.e. the function is increasing for all real values of x where  x < – 4. (Answer)

1. Are we limited to using a trigonometric function only in cases of an object that has a cyclical behavior? Is it possible to m
pentagon [3]

Trigonometric functions are not only used in cases of an object that has a cyclical behavior.

<h3>What is a trigonometric function?</h3>

It should be noted that trigonometric functions are real functions that relate the angle of a right angled triangle to the ratios of the two side lengths.

Trigonometric functions are not only used in cases of an object that has a cyclical behavior. It can be used to obtain unknown <em>angles</em> in geometric figures.

It can also be used to model the fluctuations in temperature data for a particular year.

The movement of a yo-yo can be modeled by a sinusoidal curve since it exhibits a periodic behavior.
