Answer:

(C) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a systems of equations. Assuming m is Michelle's age, j is Joan's age, and r is Ryan's age, the equations are:

m = j + 7

j = r-3

m+j+r = 64

We can use substitution, since we know the "values" of m and j.

(j+7)+(r-3)+r = 64\\(j+7)+(2r-3)=64\\2r + j + 4 = 64\\2r + j = 60\\\\

r = 21, j = 18

So we know that Joan is 18 years old.

Hope this helped!

When two objects reach the same time-space coordinates, they generally collide with each other. How is this different from what
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Waves superimpose upon each other when they collide, while objects do not

Step-by-step explanation:

The main difference between the collision of waves and the collision of objects is simply the superposition principle.

When waves collide, they do not do so in the same way objects do. The superposition principle explains that waves can either collide in a constructive or destructive manner.

Case A: Waves colliding in a constructive manner

When waves collide in a constructive manner, this means that they are in phase, in simpler terms, it means that they have the same shape as they move through space-time. Constructive collision leads to a formation of a bigger wave with a higher amplitude. This is how stereo speakers operate. They produce louder sounds by releasing the same audio waves, causing them to superimpose upon each other.

Case B: Waves colliding in a destructive manner:

When waves are out of phase(i.e do not have the same shape as they move through space-time) and they collide, they try to cancel each other out, leading to a new wave with a weaker amplitude. This is how noise-cancelling headphones work. They emit an equal and opposite wave sound to the noise around your ears, thus cancelling it out.

Simplify 6 to the 5th power over 7 to the 3rd power times 2
Anon25 [30]
My answer -

<span>1. Use symbols (not words) to express quotient
 

2. Use exponent symbol (^) to denote exponents

3. Just write out question number, question, and choices. No need for extra information (such as points). Also, don't leave blank lines between choices. This extraneous that we don't need just makes your whole question very very long, and means a lot of scrolling on our part.
 

4. You should only post 2 or 3 questions at a time.


1) (6x^3 − 18x^2 − 12x) / (−6x) = −x^2 + 3x + 2 ----> so much simpler to read !

2) (d^7 g^13) / (d^2 g^7) = d^(7−2) g^(13−7) = d^5 g^6 ----> much easier to read !

3) (4x − 6)^2 = 16x^2 − 24x − 24x + 36 = 16x^2 − 48x + 36

4) (x^2 / y^5)^4 = (x^2)^4 / (y^5)^4 = x^8 / y^20

5) (3x + 5y)(4x − 3y) = 12x^2 − 9xy + 20xy − 15y^2 = 12x^2 + 11xy − 15y^2

6) (3x^3y^4z^4)(2x^3y^4z^2) = (3*2) x^(3+3) y^(4+4) z^(4+2) = 6 x^6 y^8 z^6

7) 5x + 3x^4 − 7x^3 ----> Fourth degree trinomial

8) (5x^3 − 5x − 8) + (2x^3 + 4x + 2) = 7x^3 − x − 6

9) (x − 1) + (2x + 5) − (x + 3) = x + 1

10) (−4g^8h^5k^2)0(hk^2)^2 = 0 (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
or.. (−4g^8h^5k^2)^0(hk^2)^2 = 1 (h^2 (k^2)^2) = h^2 k^4

Last question shows why it is so important to use proper symbols (such as ^ to indicate exponents). Without such symbols, I could not tell if the 0 was an actual number and part of multiplication, of if 0 was an exponent of the expression preceding it.


P.S

Glad to help you have an AWESOME!!! day :)
