Contradictions usually mean they go against established rules. Squaring a negative number is one example if it is in math. But just think of anything that goes against what is known.
=(8)(3.4)+13.812
=27.2 + 13.812
=41.012
the Answer is 41.012
Answer:
The y-intercept represents the flat fee.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept on the graph would be the point at which the line cuts across or intercepts the y-axis. At this point, the value of x (miles travelled) would be 0. The y-intercept in this case, would be the flat fee which is given as $2.
At x = 0, f(0) = 2.
The y-intercept represents the flat fee on the graph of f(x).
The # halfway in between 21 and 63 is 42.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
