Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question we refresh our knowledge of the quotient rule.
For a function f(x) express as a ratio of another functions u(x) and v(x) i.e
, the derivative is express as
from
we assign u(x)=lnx and v(x)=x^2
and the derivatives
.
Note the expression used in determining the derivative of the logarithm function.it was obtain from the general expression of logarithm derivative i.e
If we substitute values into the quotient expression we arrive at
We are given these three people age below:
We define the age of Jim as any variable, because the problem doesn't give any specific age. I will define Jim's age as x.
Next, Carla is 5 years older than Jim. That means if Carla is 5 years older, her age would be x+5.
Then Tomy is 6 years older than Carla. That means the age would be 6+(x+5).
The sum of their three ages is 31 years old. That means we add all these ages and equal to 31.
Combine like terms and solve for x.
Then we substitute the value of x in ages to find these three people ages.
