Answer:

Carlos is 35 years old now

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen

- Kirsten's age is the sum of x and 33

∴ Kirsten is x + 33 years old now

2 years ago

∵ Carlos's age = x - 2

∵ Kristen's age = x + 33 - 2 = x + 31

∵ Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age

- Equate Kristen's age by 2 times Carlos's age

∴ x + 31 = 2(x - 2)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ x + 31 = 2x - 4

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 31 = x - 4

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ 35 = x

∵ x represents Carlos's age now

∴ Carlos is 35 years old now

Is the following graph a function

daser333 [38]

You can use the vertical line test to determine if the graph is a function.

A function must: for every x value have only one y value.

Vertical line test: if you draw a bunch of vertical lines each line only touches the graph once.

So a circle would not be a function, or a horizontally facing parabola, etc... Remember, if you draw a vertical line "|" and it touches the graph more than once at any point then it is not a function.

Now take a look at the graph in the question.
In this graph if we do the vertical line test there are no place where a vertical line touches the graph twice so this graph is indeed a function.

This means your answer is C. Yes

What kind of problem do we need to use “indefinite integral” to solve? Use a real life example to explain.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Indefinite integration acts as a tool to solve many physical problems.

There are many type of problems that require an indefinite integral to solve.

Basically indefinite integration is required when we deal with quantities that vary spatially or temporally.

As an example consider the following example:

Suppose that we need to calculate the total force on a object placed in a non- uniform field.

As an example let us consider a rod of length L that posses an charge 'q' per meter length and suppose that we place it in a non uniform electric field which is given by

$E(x)=\frac{E_{o}}{e^{kx}}$

Now in order to find the total force on the rod we cannot use the similar procedure as we can see that the force on the rod varies with the position of the rod.

But if w consider an element 'dx' of the rod at a distance 'x' from the origin the force on this element will be given by

$dF=E(x)\times qdx\\\\dF=\frac{qE_{o}}{e^{kx}}dx$

Now to find the whole force on the rod we need to sum this quantity over the whole length of the rod requiring integration, as shown

$\int dF=\int \frac{qE_{o}}{e^{kx}}dx$

Similarly there are numerous problems considering motion of particles that require applications of indefinite integration.
