Answer:

44yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

sum= 64

8yrs ago

Hanna = x - 8

Andrew =3x - 8

sum 8yrs ago

64 - 8 - 8 = 48 yrs

| \

Hanna's Andrew's

3x + x = 48

4x = 48

4 4

x = 12

Andrew = 3x = 3 x 12 = 36( 8 yrs ago)

now = 36 + 8 = 44yrs

Hanna's = x = 12(8 yrs ago)

now = 12 + 8 = 20yrs

The sum of 23 consecutive integers is 2323. What is the largest of these 23 integers?

suter [353]

Sum of consecutive integers = n*(n+1) / 2
2,323 = (n^2 +n)/2
4,646 = n^2 + n
n^2 + n -4,646 =0
n = 67.663 which is NOT an integer

8.1.3 Determine the first three nonzero terms in the Taylor polynomial approximation for the given initial value problem. y' = 8

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$P(x)=2x+13x^{2}+43x^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We follow the procedure to find each term of the Taylor series:

$y'=8sin(y)+2e^{5x}\\y'(0)=8sin(0)+2e^{5(0)}\\y'(0)=2\\y''=y'8cos(y)+10e^{5x}\\y''(0)=2*8cos(0)+10e^{5(0)}\\y''(0)=26\\y'''=y''8cos(y)-(y')^{2}8sin(y)+50e^{5x}\\y'''(0)=26*8cos(0)-(2)^{2}8sin(0)+50e^{5(0)}\\y'''(0)=258$

Now that we have the first three non-zero terms, we proceed to set the Taylor series:

$P(x)=0+\frac{2}{1!} x+\frac{26}{2!} x^{2}+\frac{258}{3!} x^{3}$

Then we proceed to solve the polynomial:

$P(x)=2x+13x^{2}+43x^{3}$

The y intercept would be 3 because the slope is 2 and when x=0 than y=3
