Firstly Bernard = x

A) lets focus on Therese first. Bernard id two years older than her so for Therese’s equation in terms of x it would be x+2. Now for Josephine Bernard is 4 years younger than HER so it would be 4-x.

B) The mother is the PRODUCT of the sisters’ ages so (multiplication)

It would be like this: (x+2)(4-x)= 40 This is all in terms of x.

Solving for the equation (using distributive property) we get:

4x-x+8-2x=40

(Reorganize to group like terms, remember to go in order from the numeral numbers with variables, to variables only then numbers only): 4x-2x-x+8=40 (now combine like terms and simplify): x+8=40 this is his mom’s age in terms of x

C) HERE we can solve for x:

Isolating x to get the answer we move the 8 to the other side of the equation and it becomes a negative 8 so:

x=40-8

x=32

Therefore Bernard is 32 years old.

Hope this helps!

At Greg's Gas Station premium gasoline costs $0.14 more per gallon than regular gasoline . If Mr. Adams spent $36.25 on 12.5 gal

Maslowich

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At Greg's Gas Station premium gasoline costs $0.14 more per gallon than regular gasoline .

Let the cost of regular gasoline be $x per gallon, then the cost of premium gasoline per gallon will be x + 0.14

If Mr. Adams spent $36.25 on 12.5 gallons of regular gasoline, it means that 12.5x = 36.25

x = 36.25/12.5 = $2.9

The cost of regular gasoline is $2.9 per gallon

Therefore, cost of premium gasoline per gallon will be 2.9+ 0.14 = 3.04

if he bought 12.5 gallons of premium gasoline instead, he would have paid

12.5× 3.04 = $38

The amount that he would have spent more will be

38 - 36.25 = $1.75

Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by LaTeX: y = \sqrt{x} y = x and the lines LaTeX: y = 1 y =

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The volume is:

$\displaystyle\frac{37\pi}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the sketch of the region in the attached graph.

We set the integral using washer method:

$\displaystyle\int_a^b\pi r^2dx$

Notice here the radius of the washer is the difference of the given curves:

$x-\sqrt{x}$

So the integral becomes:

$\displaystyle\int_1^4\pi(x-\sqrt{x})^2dx$

We solve it:

Factor $\pi$ out and distribute the exponent (you can use FOIL):

$\displaystyle\pi\int_1^4x^2-2x\sqrt{x}+x\,dx$

Notice: $x\sqrt{x}=x\cdot x^{1/2}=x^{3/2}$

So the integral becomes:

$\displaystyle\pi\int_1^4x^2-2x^{3/2}+x\,dx$

Then using the basic rule to evaluate the integral:

$\displaystyle\pi\left[\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{2x^{5/2}}{5/2}+\frac{x^2}{2}\right|_1^4$

Simplifying a bit:

$\displaystyle\pi\left[\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{4x^{5/2}}{5}+\frac{x^2}{2}\right|_1^4$

Then plugging the limits of the integral:

$\displaystyle\pi\left[\frac{4^3}{3}-\frac{4(4)^{5/2}}{5}+\frac{4^2}{2}-\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right)\right]$

Taking the root (rational exponents):

$\displaystyle\pi\left[\frac{4^3}{3}-\frac{4(2)^{5}}{5}+\frac{4^2}{2}-\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right)\right]$

Then doing those arithmetic computations we get:

$\displaystyle\frac{37\pi}{10}$
