Mr. Anders was three times as old as Kate 5 years ago. Their total age now is 42 years. How old is Kate now?
katrin [286]
We can write this as two equations. Call Mr. Anders' age A and Kate's age K:
A-5=3(K-5)
A+K=42

Then solve for A in the second equation:
A=42-K

Substitute this into the first equation:
(42-K)-5=3(K-5)
-K+37=3K-15
52=4K
K=13

A rhombus has four 6-inch sides and two 120-degree angles. From one of the vertices of the obtuse angles, the two latitudes are
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Area(A)=Area(C)= 9 in^{2}

Area(B)=13.2 in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin with finding the angles a and b that from the drawing attached you can see that a=b.

Now, the sum of the internal angles of a rhomboid is equal to 360 degrees, with that we have:

120+120+a+b=360

240+2a=360

2a=120

a=60=b

Next, in the image you can see that the lines coming from the angle at the top 120 degrees vertex, divide the opposite sides by half, thus making two triangles with one side of 6 in and another of 3 in.

We can say from the drawing as well:

Area(A)+Area(B)+Area(C)=Area(rhomboid)

But, we can also say that Area(A)=Area(C)

So, starting with Area(A)

Area(A)=Area(triangle)=\frac{b*h}{2}=\frac{6*3}{2}=9 in^{2}

We can then calculate the area B, a rhomboid, or better, take the Total area of the figure and subtract the area of the two triangles.

Area(B)=Area(rhomboid)-Area(A)-Area(C)

Area(rhomboid)=b*h where b=6in and h is the perpendicular distance from the base to the top.

h=[tex]6*cos(30)=5.20in   The 30 degrees come from: 120-30-60=30, since the latitudes split the 120 angle in two equal parts and one that is the half of the obtuse angle.

Area(rhomboid)=5.20*6=31.2 in^{2}

Area(B)=Area(rhomboid)-Area(A)-Area(C)=31.2 in^{2}-9 in^{2}-9 in^{2}=13.2 in^{2}

Which step is included in the graph of the function f(x)=[x-1]? (the brackets are ceiling functions symbols)
KiRa [710]

we are given

f(x)=[x=1]

where bracket means ceiling functions

we know that

Ceiling  function returns the least value of the integer that is greater than or equal to the specified number

so, we can check each options

option-A:

-4\leq x

At x=-4:

f(x)=[-4-1] =-5

For x<-3:

Let's assume

x=-3.1

f(x)=[-3.1-1] =[-4.1]=-5

so, this interval is TRUE

option-B:

-2\leq x

At x=-2:

f(x)=[-2-1] =-3

For x<-1:

Let's assume

x=-1.1

f(x)=[-1.1-1] =[-2.1]=-3

so, this is FALSE

At a point on the ground 35 ft from the base of a tree, the distance to the top of the tree is 1 ft more than 3 times the height
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.

a = 35 feet

b = x            which is the height of the tree.

c = 3*x + 1   so we are trying to find x.  Substitute into a b and c

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2        

35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1     Subtract x^2 from both sides.

35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1               Subtract 35^2 from both sides.

0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2

0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224

Does this factor?

(x + 12.75)(x - 12)

x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.

x = 12

The tree is 12 feet high.

Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.

Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

a) 8, multiplicity 2; 8, multiplicity 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a is a zero of the polynomial f(x) if f(a)=0 and has multiplicity n if the termn (x-a) is n times in the factorization of f(x).

We have that

f(x)=3(x + 8)^2(x - 8)^3

Observe that

1. f(-8)=3(-8 + 8)^2(-8 - 8)^3=3*0*(-16)^3=0

and (x+8) appear two times in the factorization of f(x). Then -8 is a zero of f(x) with multiplicity 2.

2. f(8)=3(8 + 8)^2(8 - 8)^3=3*16^2*0^3=0

and and (x - 8) appear three times in the factorization of f(x). Then 8 is a zero of f(x) with multiplicity 3.

Since f(x) has degree 5 and the sum of the multiplicities is 5 then f(x) hasn't more zeros.
