Eli gets £180
Freda gets £260
Geoff gets £360

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let x be some positive real number.

Since each person gets a share of the money based on their ages, we can say that

Eli gets 9x pounds
Freda gets 13x pounds
Geoff gets 18x pounds

The ratio 9x:13x:18x reduces to 9:13:18 when dividing everything by x.

Add up their shares, set the sum equal to 800 pounds, and solve for x.

9x+13x+18x = 800

40x = 800

x = 800/40

x = 20

We can then use this to find each person's share

Eli = 9x = 9*20 = 180 pounds
Freda = 13x = 13*20 = 260 pounds
Geoff = 18x = 18*20 = 360 pounds

As a check: 180+260+360 = 800 which confirms we have the correct split among the three people.

Notice how the ratio 180:260:360 fully reduces to 9:13:18 when you divide each part by the GCF 20.

Answer:

eli= £180, freda = £260, geoff = £360

Step-by-step explanation:

eli : freda : geoff

9 : 13 : 18

9 + 13 + 18 = 40 parts

800 / 40 = 20

therefore 1 part = £20

20 x 9 = £180

20 x 13 = £260

20 x 18 = £360

A typical cup of coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine and every hour approximately 16% ofthe amount of caffeine inthe body i

Over [174]

Answer:

a) $\frac{dC}{dt} = rC$

And for this case we can rewrite the model like this:

$\frac{dC}{C} = r dt$

If we integrate both sides we got:

$ln C = rt + k$

If we use exponentials for both sides we got:

$C = e^{rt} e^k = C_o e^{rt}$

For this case $C_o = 100 mg$ and r = -0.16

So then our model would be given by:

$C(t) = 100 e^{-0.16 t}$

Where t represent the number of hours

b) $C(5) = 100 e^{-0.16*5}= 44.9329$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we can assume the proportional model given by:

$\frac{dC}{dt} = rC$

And for this case we can rewrite the model like this:

$\frac{dC}{C} = r dt$

If we integrate both sides we got:

$ln C = rt + k$

If we use exponentials for both sides we got:

$C = e^{rt} e^k = C_o e^{rt}$

For this case $C_o = 100 mg$ and r = -0.16

So then our model would be given by:

$C(t) = 100 e^{-0.16 t}$

Where t represent the number of hours

Part b

For this case we can replace the value t=5 into the model and we got:

$C(5) = 100 e^{-0.16*5}= 44.9329$

What is the equation of the translated function, g(x), if

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

D. g(x) = (x+ 4)² + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function is f(x) = x²

Now,if a graph x² is translated by (h,k) where:

h = Translation done towards RIGHT

k = Translation done towards UP

Then the translated equation is given as:

y = (x-h)² + k .... (1)

Now here, the graph is translated 6 UNITS UP and 4 UNITS LEFT.

⇒ h = - 4 and k = 6

Substituting the value of h, k in (1) , we get:

g(x) = (x-(-4))² + 6 = (x+ 4)² + 6

⇒ g(x) = (x+ 4)² + 6

Hence, the equation of the translated function, g(x) is g(x) = (x+ 4)² + 6.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 3) and is parallel to 2x + 3y = 6?

Zinaida [17]

2x + 3y = 6
3y = - 2x + 6
y = -2/3x + 2....slope here is -2/3
A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = - 2/3
(-2,3)...x = -2 and y = 3
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
3 = -2/3(-2) + b
3 = 4/3 + b
3 - 4/3 = b
9/3 - 4/3 = b
5/3 = b

ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5/3 (slope intercept form)

y = -2/3x + 5/3
2/3x + y = 5/3
2x + 3y = 5 (standard form)
