Answer:

Fran is 12, Nancy is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Fran - f and Nancy - n

The ages at present:

f = 3n

In four years:

f + 4 = 2(n + 4)

Simplify and substitute f:

f + 4 = 2n + 8
f = 2n + 4
3n = 2n + 4
n = 4

Find f:

f = 3*4 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

∫ (sec x − tan x) dx

∫ sec x dx + ∫ -tan x dx

∫ (sec²x + sec x tan x) / (sec x + tan x) dx + ∫ (-sin x / cos x) dx

ln(sec x + tan x) + ln(cos x) + C

A line has the points (3,7) (4,9) (5,11) (6,13). If the slope is divided by 2, what is the new slope?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The new slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of any two points can be found by:

$slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Finding slope of (3,7) (4,9)

$slope=\frac{9-7}{4-3}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

Finding slope of (4,9) (5,11)

$slope=\frac{11-9}{5-4}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

So, the slope of the line is 2

Now if slope is divided by 2, new slope will be:

$slope = \frac{2}{2}\\slope=1$

So, The new slope is 1
