Answer:

older person: 32 yrs younger person: 5 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

older person age: o

younger person age: y

o=5y+7

o+y=37

Solve with substitution:

5y+7+y=37

6y+7=37

6y=30

y=5

Plug back in:

o+5=37

o=32

Question 5 (12 points)

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

see attached for diagram

a) √13

b) √29

c) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the circle: $(x + 1)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16$

⇒ center = (-1, 3)

⇒ radius = √16 = 4

Distance between 2 points formula:

$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

a) let (-1, 3) = $(x_1,y_1)$

let (2, 1) = $(x_2, y_2)$

$\implies \sqrt{(2+1)^2+(1-3)^2} =\sqrt{13}$

b) let (-1, 3) = $(x_1,y_1)$

let (4, 1) = $(x_2, y_2)$

$\implies \sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1-3)^2} =\sqrt{29}$

c) let (-1, 3) = $(x_1,y_1)$

let (3, 3) = $(x_2, y_2)$

$\implies \sqrt{(3+1)^2+(3-3)^2} =4$
