Answer: The jane is 12 years old and Harvey is 36 years old.

Explanation:

Let jane's age is defined by J and Harvey's age is defined by H.

It is given that the Harvey is 3 times as old as Jane. It means the age of Harvey is 3 times of the age of jane.

H = 3J      ..... (1)

It also given that the sum their ages is 48.

H + J  = 48     ..... (2)

Using equation (1), Put H = 3J,

3J + J =48

4J = 48

J = 12

Substitute this value is equation (1).

H = 3(12)

H = 36

Therefore, the Jane's age is 12 and the Harvey's age is 36.

Write an explicit formula for the sequence 7, 2, –3, –8, –13, find the 14th term
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The 14th term is equal to -44.

y = 12 - 5x

The sequence can be represented by this function.

Each term is being subtracted by 5.

Using this function we can find the 14th time.


y = 12 - 5(14)

y = 12 - 56

y = -44

To solve y and x, I am adding a picture
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x =\sqrt 5

y = \sqrt{5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Solve for x

Considering angle 45 degrees, we have:

\cos(45) = \frac{y}{\sqrt{10}} --- cosine formula i.e. adj/hyp

Solve for y

y = \sqrt{10} * \cos(45)

In radical form, we have:

y = \sqrt{10} * \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}

y = \sqrt{10/2}

y = \sqrt{5

To solve for x, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

x^2 + y^2 = (\sqrt{10})^2

x^2 + y^2 =10

Substitute for y

x^2 + (\sqrt 5)^2 =10

x^2 + 5 =10

Collect like terms

x^2  =10-5

x^2=   5

Solve for x

x =\sqrt 5

V=pir^2h solve this equation for h
Nady [450]
Since we are solving for h, the equation:

V = πr²h

...divides πr² to the other side. Thus, it becomes....

\frac{V}{ \pi r^2} = h

Which can be rewritten as....

h = \frac{V}{ \pi r^2}
