Answer:

Joe's present age = 36 years

Vika's present age = 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the present age of

Joe = x

Vika = y

Joe's age exceeds by Vika's age by 16 years.

x = y + 16...... Equation 1

Four years ago, Joe was twice as old as Vika.

x - 4 = 2(y - 4)

x - 4 = 2y - 8........ Equation 2

We substitute y + 16 for x

y + 16 - 4 = 2y - 8

Collect like terms

16 - 4 + 8 = 2y - y

y = 20 years

We solve for x

x = y + 16...... Equation 1

x = 20 + 16

x = 36 years

Therefore, Joe's present age = 36 years

Vika's present age = 20 years

<span>A PRESENT FOR YOU </span>
<span>Ask someone to write a number, say a five-digit number. </span>
<span>(Can be a 2-digit.....3-digit.....4-digit....ect..... </span>
<span>Suppose the number written is </span>
<span>57836 </span>
<span>Now, without showing the asker, you write a number on </span>
<span>a sheet of paper and keep it folded. You have to write the </span>
<span>number by subtracting 2 from the above number and </span>
<span>adding 2 in front which will be.... </span>
<span>257834 </span>
<span>Next, ask the person to write another five-digit number </span>
<span>below his original number. Suppose he writes 37589. </span>
<span>So you now have... </span>
<span>57836 </span>
<span>37589 </span>
<span>Now you write a five-digit number below it in such a </span>
<span>way that each digit is 9 minus digit above. You now have... </span>
<span>57836 </span>
<span>37589 </span>
<span>62410 </span>
<span>Ask the person to add one more 5-digit number. If he </span>
<span>adds 54732, you add below it 45267. Note that you decided </span>
<span>the number by subtracting each of his digit from 9. </span>
<span>Thus, you now have..... </span>
<span>57836 </span>
<span>37589 </span>
<span>62410 </span>
<span>54732 </span>
<span>45267 </span>
<span>Next, ask him to add all the number and he gets 257834 </span>
<span>Show him the number which you had written as an answer </span>
<span>to this addition earlier in the folded paper and surprise him.</span>

A ball is thrown from an initial height of 2 feet with an initial upward velocity of 29 ft/s. The balls height (h) [in feet] aft
nirvana33 [79]
The ball is at a height of 14 feet after 1.17 and 0.64 seconds.

This is an example of a quadratic equation. Write out the equation with 14 in the place of the height. Then, set it equal to zero.

14 = 2 + 29t - 16t^2

0 = -16t^2 + 29t -12

Now, we can use the quadratic equation to solve.
A = -16
B = 29
C = -12

You will get the solutions of 1.17 and 0.64.
