Answer:

a² - 14a - 15 = 0 (quadratic equation)

Emily's age = 15 years

Tuli's age = 15 - 10 = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let

Emily age = a

Tuli age = a - 10

Two years ago their ages will be as follows.

Emily's age = a - 2

Tuli's age = a - 10 - 2 = a - 12

The product of their ages 2 years ago is 39.

(a - 2)(a - 12) = 39

a² - 12a - 2a + 24 - 39 = 0

a² - 14a - 15 = 0 (quadratic equation)

To get a

a² + a - 15a - 15 = 0

a(a + 1) - 15(a + 1)

(a + 1)(a - 15)

a = -1 or 15

we can only use 15 as it is positive.

Explain how to use grouping symbols to organize information appropriately

aleksley [76]

Grouping symbols organize an algebra problem that contains multiple groups. Algebraic grouping symbols.That is parentheses, brackets, braces, radicals, and fraction lines.Also show where a group starts and ends, and help to establish the order used to apply math operations.

Evaluate the spherical coordinate integral

expeople1 [14]

Rewrite the equations of the given boundary lines:

y = -x + 1 ==> x + y = 1

y = -x + 4 ==> x + y = 4

y = 2x + 2 ==> -2x + y = 2

y = 2x + 5 ==> -2x + y = 5

This tells us the parallelogram in the x-y plane corresponds to the rectangle in the u-v plane with 1 ≤ u ≤ 4 and 2 ≤ v ≤ 5.

Compute the Jacobian determinant for this change of coordinates:

$J=\begin{bmatrix}\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}&\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}&\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\-2&1\end{bmatrix}\implies|\det J|=3$

Rewrite the integrand:

$-3x+4y=-3\cdot\dfrac{u-v}3+4\cdot\dfrac{2u+v}3=\dfrac{5u+7v}3$

The integral is then

$\displaystyle\iint_R(-3x+4y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=3\iint_{R'}\frac{5u+7v}3\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\int_2^5\int_1^45u+7v\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\boxed{333}$

Identify the outlier in the data set 6, 9, 3, 2, 10, 138, 13. Then, find the mean with and without the outlier. If necessary, ro

Andrews [41]

138 is the outlier since it is more than 1.5 * IQR past the third quartile of the data set.

With this upper outlier, the mean will be significantly higher. Without it, it will lower back down, so B is your answer

What are the missing reasons in the two-column proof?

Nesterboy [21]

Reasons:

1. Because, MO cuts Angle PMN in two equal parts.

2.As ∠PMN is cut in to equal parts thus:

∠PMN = ∠NMO + ∠PMO, where these two parts (∠NMO, ∠PMO) are equal.

3. Both are the same, common you can say..

4. Because, MO cuts Angle PON in two equal parts.

5. As ∠PON is cut in to equal parts thus:

∠PON = ∠NOM + ∠POM, where these two parts (∠NOM , ∠POM) are equal.

6. From the above statements, we have:

= ∠NMO + ∠PMO (Proved)

= ∠NOM + ∠POM (Proved)

= MO = MO (Proved)

Thus, ∆PMO ≅ ∆NMO, by AAS rule
