Answer:

James = 1 year

Austin = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let James age = x

Let Austin's age = y

James is four years younger than Austin.

x = y - 4

If three times James age is increased by the square of Austin's age, the result is 28.

3(x - 4) + y² = 28

Hence,

Note: x = y - 4

Hence,

3y - 12 + y² = 28

3y + y² - 12 - 28 = 0

y² + 3y - 40 = 0

y² + 8y - 5y - 40 = 0

y(y + 8) - 5(y + 8 ) = 0

(y + 8)(y - 5)

y = -8

y = 5 years

x = y - 4

x = 5 - 4

x = 1 years.

4. I need help with question in the attached picture!
Arisa [49]

ANSWER

D. 13

EXPLANATION

We have

f(x) =  \frac{2x + 1}{x - 4}

To find

{f}^{ - 1} (3)

means we want to find an x-value whose image is 3.

\frac{2x + 1}{x - 4}  = 3

We cross multiply,

2x + 1 = 3(x - 4)

Expand:

2x + 1 = 3x - 12

Combine like terms,

3x - 2x = 12 + 1

x = 13

\therefore{f}^{ - 1} (3)= 13

Solve 2x2 – 3x = 12 using the quadratic formula.
icang [17]

Quadratic Formula: (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

2x^2 - 3x = 12

2x^2 - 3x - 12 = 0

a = 2

b = -3

c = -12

(--3 +/- sqrt( (-3)^2 - 4(2)(-12) )) / 2(2)

3 +/- sqrt( 9 + 96 ) / 4

3 +/- sqrt(105) / 4

Answers: \frac{3 + \sqrt{105} }{4}, \frac{3 - \sqrt{105} }{4}

Hope this helps!

What five-letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?
Fantom [35]

you literally just need to add a single letter. You need to place the letters “t” and “r” to the word “shore”. After you do that, the word becomes “shorter”. Another possible answer is the word “Sorte”.
