Mathematics
1 answer:
lana [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. how old is Cheryl?

Cheryl's age = d + 5

b. how old is Brandon?

d + 5 + 2

= d + 7

c. what was the difference in their ages 5 years ago?

Cheryl age five years ago = d

Brandon's age five years ago = d + 2

Difference = d + 2 - d = 2 years

d. what is the sum of their ages now?

Cheryl's age = d + 5

Brandon age = d + 7

Sum = d + 5 + d + 7

= 2d + 12

e. what will the sum of their ages be two years from now?

Two years from now,

Cheryl's age = d + 5 + 2 = d + 7

Brandon age = d + 7 + 2 = d + 9

Sum = d + 7 + d + 9

= 2d + 16

f. what will the difference of their ages be two years from now

Two years from now,

Cheryl's age = d + 5 + 2 = d + 7

Brandon age = d + 7 + 2 = d + 9

Difference = Brandon age - Cheryl age

= (d + 9) - (d + 7)

= 2 years.

Solve the following quadratic by factoring.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

4, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can reverse the FOIL (First, outside, inside, last) method to break down the equation. The question is asking to solve by factoring so you want to find the right combination of numbers this equation can be broken down into:

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Because we want x squared, x needs to be multiplied by itself, so we can put x in the first slot for each.

(x + or - ?) ( x + or - ?) = 0

Then we need to find numbers that could be added to get -3 and multiplied to get -4. The only set of numbers that works for this is -4 and 1. Note that the sign you put in front of each number has an impact on your answers. With this we get:

(x - 4) (x + 1) = 0

To test that this is equal to the original equation, simply multiply it out using FOIL.

x * x = x^2

x * 1 = x

x * -4 = -4x

-4 * 1 = -4

Putting each component into an equation:

x^2 + x - 4x - 4 = 0

Simplifying:

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Once we are sure it is still the same equation, we find the solutions. We know 0 multiplied by anything equals 0, so to get 0 as the answer, one of the sets in the parentheses must equal 0. (It doesn't matter what the other one is as long is one equals 0)

Therefore, we have 2 solutions, 4, and -1 because if x is 4, 4-4 is 0 which solves the equation, and if x is -1, then -1 + 1 is 0 which also solves the equation.

You can also check your answers by plugging them back into the original equation.

Please help me find the slope of the line graphed below!
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

slope = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 3) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-3-0}{0+1} = \frac{-3}{1} = - 3

Find dy/dx by implicit differentiation. <br> 4x2 + 5xy - y2 = 6
Vlada [557]
4x^2 + 5xy - y^2 = 6
Implicitly differentiating both sides,
4(2x) + 5(x y' + y) - 2yy' = 0

where y' = dy/dx

8x + 5xy' +5y  -2yy' = 0

combining y' terms
y' (5x-2y) +8x +5y = 0

y'(5x-2y) = -(8x+5y)

dy/dx = -(8x+5y)/(5x-2y)
or
dy/dx = (8x+5y)/(2y-5x)
