Lena is 10 years old. She asks her dad how old he is. He tells her that the lcm of their ages is 14 times the hcf of their ages.

She knows that her dad is at least 30 years old but younger than 45. Work out how old her dad is.

Answer:

  35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the HCF of the ages. Then we can have ax = 10 represent Lena's age, and bx can represent her dad's age.

The LCM will be abx = 14x, so we have ab = 14.

Factors of 14 are 1·14 and 2·7. Since the ratio of ages is between 30/10 = 3 and 45/10 = 4.5, we must have b/a in that range. This will be the case for ...

  a=2, b=7

For a=2 and ax=10, we have x=5.

The dad's age is bx = 7·5 = 35.

Your family wants to purchase a new laptop with
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The laptop will not fit in the case.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the width of the laptop to know if it fits in the case. We have:

<u>For the laptop</u>:

h: is the height of the laptop = 10 inch

d: is the widescreen of the laptop (diagonal) = 17 inch

w: is the width of the laptop =?

<u>For the laptop case</u>:

H: is the height of the laptop case = 10.5 inch

W: is the width of the laptop case = 13 inch

So, the width of the laptop can be found by using Pitagoras:

d^{2} = w^{2} + h^{2}

w = \sqrt{(17 inch)^{2} - (10 inch)^{2}} = 13.7 inch

Hence, the laptop is 13.7 inches wide.                              

Therefore, since the laptop is wider than the case, the laptop will not fit in the case.

 

I hope it helps you!

The half-life of a radioactive kind of tellurium is 25 minutes. If you start with 88 grams of it, how much will be left after 50
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Notice that 50 minutes is twice the half-life.

After 25 minutes, half of the starting amount remains, so that 88g decays to 44g.

After another 25 minutes (a total of 50 minutes), the 44g will decay to 22g.

Help with number two
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

y = -2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a point and a slope, so we can use the point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

y-3 = -2(x--1)

y-3=-2(x+1)

Distribute the 2

y-3 = -2x-2

Add 3 to each side

y-3+3 = -2x-2+3

y = -2x+1

This is in slope intercept form

Explain the tangent line problem
ale4655 [162]

The Tangent Line Problem  1/3How do you find the slope of the tangent line to a function at a point Q when you only have that one point? This Demonstration shows that a secant line can be used to approximate the tangent line. The secant line PQ connects the point of tangency to another point P on the graph of the function. As the distance between the two points decreases, the secant line becomes closer to the tangent line.
