Answer:

The\ brother's\ present\ age= 4\ years\\The\ sister's\ present\ age=8\ years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let\ the\ brother's\ present\ age\ be\ x\\Hence\ we\ are\ given,\\His\ sister's\ present\ age=(2x)\\Now,\\The\ brother's\ age\ before\ two\ years=(x-2)\\The\ sister's\ age\ before\ two\ years=3(x-2)\\Also,\\His\ sisters\ age\ before\ two\ years=2x-2\\Hence,\\3(x-2)=2x-2\\3x-6=2x-2\\3x-2x=6-2\\x=4\\Hence,\\The\ brother's\ present\ age= 4\ years\\The\ sister's\ present\ age=2x=2*4=8\ years

Answer:

The sister's present age is 8 years old, and the brother's present age is 4 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = present age of the brother, s = present age of the sister

s-2 = (b-2) × 3

s-2 = 3b - 6

s = 3b - 4

s = b × 2

= 2b

sb-4 = 2b  (proved from above equations)

b = 4

\because s = 3b - 4

\therefores = 3×4 - 4

= 8

\therefore the brother's present age is 4 years old, and the sister's present age is 8 years old.

Hope this helps :)

A particle is projected at a speed of 12 ms^-1 up a straight inclined track. Whilst on the
seraphim [82]

The time taken for the particle to travel more than 8 meters from the point of projection is 0.59 s.

<h3>Time of motion of the particle</h3>

The time taken for the particle to travel more than 8 meters from the point of projection is calculated as follows;

s = v₀t + ¹/₂at²

8 = 12t + (0.5 x 5)t²

8 = 12t + 2.5t²

2.5t² + 12t  - 8 = 0

solve the equation using formula method

t = 0.59 s

Thus, the time taken for the particle to travel more than 8 meters from the point of projection is 0.59 s.

Form a linear equation in two variables for each of the following :
miv72 [106K]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. (0.60x + 0.70y)- 50 = 10

<=> 0.60x + 0.70y = 60

b. (x+y) = 5(x-y)

x+y=5x-5y

<=> 4x - 6y = 0

Given that Cosecant (t) = negative StartFraction 13 Over 5 EndFraction for Pi less-than t less-than StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 En
Sergio [31]

Answer:

\bold{cot(t) =\dfrac{12}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cosec (t) = -\frac{13}5

for \pi < t < \frac{3 \pi}2

That means, angle t is in the 3rd quadrant.

To find:

Value of cot(t)

Solution:

First of all, let us recall what trigonometric ratios are positive and what trigonometric ratios are negative in 3rd quadrant.

In 3rd quadrant, tangent and cotangent are positive.

All other trigonometric ratios are negative.

Let us have a look at the following identity:

cosec^2\theta -cot^2\theta =1

here, \theta =t

So, cosec^2t-cot^2t=1

\Rightarrow (-\dfrac{13}{5})^2-cot^2t=1\\\Rightarrow (\dfrac{169}{25})-cot^2t=1\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{169}{25}-1=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{169-25}{25}=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{144}{25}=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow cot(t)=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{144}{25}}\\\Rightarrow cot(t)=\pm\dfrac{12}{5}

But, angle t is in 3rd quadrant, so value of

\bold{cot(t) =\dfrac{12}{5}}

Determine if the function f(x)=x+4 is increasing or decreasing on the interval of 2≤x≤5. Justify your answer.
Rudik [331]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The function is f(x)=x+4

for x_2>x_1, we will check the values of f(x_1) and f(x_2)

Take 3 and 4

f(4)=4+4\\f(4)=8

Similarly,

f(3)=3+4\\f(3)=7

Thus, f(4)>f(3)

Also, f'(x) is 1 i.e. a constant value. So, the function is increasing linearly for the given interval.
