R(c) = Ralph's current age
R(c)= 3x [given]
Answer:
R(c)=2x + 4
The 2 represents how much older Ralph is than Sarah, then the plus 4 equals the amount of years that has gone by since Sarah's original age.

Answer:

Sara present is 4 years and Ralph present age is 3x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, x represents Sarah's present age  then

According to question

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara.

that is present age of Ralph = 3x

After 4 years age of Sara will be x + 4

and age of Ralph will be 3x + 4.

According to question,

In 4 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then.

⇒ 3x + 4 = 2( x + 4)

Solving for x, we get,

⇒ 3x + 4 = 2 x + 8

⇒ 3x -2x = 8 - 4

⇒ x = 4.

Thus, Sara present is 4 years and Ralph present age is 3x = 12

Given that P = (-5, 5) and Q = (-13, 10), find the component form and magnitude of 2 vector PQ.
Brut [27]
Define unit vectors along the x-axis and the y-axis as \hat{i} , \, \hat{j} respectively.

Then the vector from P to Q is
\vec{PQ} = (-13+5)\hat{i} + (10-5)\hat{j} = -8\hat{i} + 5\hat{j}
In component form, the vector PQ is (-8,5).

The magnitude of vector PQ is
√[(-8)² + 5²] = √(89) = 9.434

Answer:
The vector PQ is (-8, 5) and its magnitude is √89  (or 9.434).

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

  k = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of P is ...

  P = (2A+B)/3 = (2·2+5, 2·1-8)/3 = (3, -2)

Putting this point into the equation for the line, we have ...

  2(3) -(-2) +k = 0

  8 +k = 0

  k = -8

If mark got 6 questions out of 40 incorrect what percent of the questions did he get correct?
kap26 [50]
So if 6 out of 40 are incorrect, 40-6= 36 must be correct.
In order to gain percentage you do proportions.
36/40 = x/100.
Multiply 36 times 100 then divide by 40, which is 90.
The answer is 90%.
90% of the questions he got were correct.
