Answer:

<em>Present age of Kevin = 6 years</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Daniel  be 'x' years

So, present age of Kevin = (3 + x) years

Two years ago,

Kevin's age was = [(3 + x) - 2] years

& Danial's age was =  (x - 2) years

Its given that two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel

So,

=> (3 + x) - 2 = 4(x - 2)

=> 3 + x - 2 = 4x - 8

=> 1 + x = 4x - 8

=> 3x = 9

=> x = 3

Therefore, present age of Daniel = 3 years

& Present age of Kevin = 3 + 3 = 6 years

Answer:

kevin is 6 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kevin's age now be a

Daniel's age now be b

Kevin is 3 years older than Daniel. -> a-3 = b

Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel -> a-2 = 4(b-2) = 4b -8

-> a-3 -(a-2) = b - (4b-8)

-> - 1 = -3 b +8

-> -9 = -3b

-> b = 3

-> a = 6

A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola y=2−x2. What are the dimensions of su
Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola

y=2-x^2

the parabola is open down with vertex at (0,2)

We can find that the rectangle also will be symmetrical about y axis.

Let the vertices on x axis by (p,0) and (-p,0)

Then other two vertices would be (p,2-p^2) (-p,2-p^2) because the vertices lie on the parabola and satisfy the parabola equation

Now width = 2-p^2

Area = l*w = 2(2p-p^3)

Use derivative test

I derivative = 2(2-3p^2)

II derivative = -12p

Equate I derivative to 0 and consider positive value only since we want maximum

p = \sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Thus width= \sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Length =2\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Width = 2-2/3 = 4/3
