Answer:

Fred is 26 and Natalie is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

X= Fred's age

Y= Natalie's age

x+y=38

x+4y=74

Use the first equation and isolate the variable x to one side.

x+y=38

 -y= -y

x=38-y

Now use this equation and subsitute it into the second equation.

(38-y) + 4y = 74

Simplify to find y

38+3y=74

-38     =-38

3y=36

÷3   ÷3

y= 12

Now that we know y, input it into the second equation to find x.

x+12=38

  -12   -12

x= 26

Fred is 26 and Natalie is 12

hope this helps :)

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price
likoan [24]

Answer:

A)  3%

B)  Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Function</u>

General form of an exponential function: y=ab^x

where:

  • a is the initial value (y-intercept)
  • b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
  • x is the independent variable
  • y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

<u>Part A</u>

<u>Product A</u>

Assuming the function for Product A is <u>exponential</u>:

f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x

The base (b) is 1.03.  As b > 1 then it is an <u>increasing function</u>.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, <u>product A is increasing by 3% each year.</u>

<u>Part B</u>

\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, <u>Product A recorded a greater percentage change</u> in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

  • a = 10,100
  • b = 1.01
  • n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100

\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201

\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01

\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that <u>Product B increases by 1% per year.</u>

Three good friends are in the same algebra class. Their scores on a recent test are three consecutive even integers whose sum is
klio [65]

Let the lowest score be x.

<u>The 3 consecutive even scores are:</u>

1st score = x

2nd score = x + 2

3rd score = x + 4

-

<u>Sum of their score is 270:</u>

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 270

-

<u>Solve x:</u>

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 270

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 270

3x + 6 = 270

3x = 264

x = 88

-

<u>Find their scores:</u>

1st score = x = 88

2nd score = x + 2 = 88 + 2 = 90

3rd score = x + 4 = 88 + 4 = 92

-

Answer: The scores are 88, 90 and 92

Find the following ratios. Write each answer as a fraction and as a decimal rounded to four decimal places.
Alona [7]

Answer:

y = 56.6208

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find y

To find y, we make use of the relationship between sides lengths 44 & y and angle 39

The relationship is:

cos(39) = \frac{44}{y}

i.e.

cos(\theta) = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}

Make y the subject

y = \frac{44}{cos(39)}

y = \frac{44}{0.7771}

y = 56.6208 -- approximated
