The son's age is 31 and the father's age is 61.
2s-3=f
f-s=30
f=61
s=31

You ask a neighbor to water a sickly plant while you are on vacation. Without water the plant will die with probability 0.75. Wi

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

0.2915

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent water and D represent Dying probability

W = water

D = die

->If with water, it will die with probability 0.4

P(W & D) = 0.82 x 0.4 = 0.328

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.75

P(W ' & D) = 0.18 x 0.75 = 0.135

Taking sum of the above values with water and without water.

P(D) = P(W & D) + P(W ' & D) = 0.4643

P(W ' | D) = P(W ' & D) / P(D)

= 0.135 /0.463

= 0.2915 ≈ 29.15%

Thus, the probability the neighbor forgot to water is 0.2915

Write the quadratic equation in factored form. x2 + x - 12 = 0

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

(x + 4)(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + x - 12 = 0

In order to factorise an equation, one must take into consideration the factors of the values in given equation.

In the factored form, the above equation becomes

(x + 4)(x- 3)

Factors of x^2 = x times x

Factors of -12 = +4 x -3

As shown in the factored form above

A small metal bar, whose initial temperature was 10° C, is dropped into a large container of boiling water. How long will it tak

IgorC [24]

Answer

According to newton law of cooling

$\dfrac{d T}{dt} = k (T - T_a)$

and

$T = Ce^{kt} + T_a$

now At Ta = 100

T₀ = 10 °C

T₁ = 12° C

$T(0) = Ce^{0} + T_a$

10 = C + 100

C = -90

now,

$12 = -90e^k + 100$

$e^k = \dfrac{88}{90}$

$k = ln{\dfrac{88}{90}}$

at time equal to t

T(t) = 70

$T(t) = -90 (\dfrac{88}{90})^t + 100$

$70 = -90(\dfrac{88}{90})^t + 100$

$(\dfrac{88}{90})^t = \dfrac{1}{3}$

$t\times ln(\dfrac{88}{90}) = ln(\dfrac{1}{3})$

t = 48.88 s

hence, after 48.88 s the temperature of the body will be 70°C

b) time taken to reach 98°C

$T(t) = -90 (\dfrac{88}{90})^t + 100$

$98 = -90(\dfrac{88}{90})^t + 100$

$(\dfrac{88}{90})^t = \dfrac{1}{45}$

$t\times ln(\dfrac{88}{90}) = ln(\dfrac{1}{45})$

t = 390 s

hence, after 390 s the temperature of the body will be 98°C
