Answer:

9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)

O = M + 6

Y = M - 3

30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3)  ... combine like terms

30 = 3M + 3  ... subtract 3 from both sides

27 = 3M  ... divide both sides by 3

9 = M

Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.

wlad13 [49]

we know that

acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2

so, we get

a(t)=9.8

and acceleration will always be constant

we know that

integral of acceleration is velocity

so, we can integrate both sides

\int \:a\left(t\right)dt=\int \:9.8dt

v(t)=9.8t+C

we are given

v(0)=35m/s

we can use it and find C

v(0)=9.8*0+C

35=9.8*0+C

C=35

now, we can plug it back

v(t)=9.8t+35

we know that

integral of velocity is height

we can integrate it again

\int \:v\left(t\right)dt=\int \:\left(9.8t+35\right)dt

s(t)=\int \:\left(9.8t+35\right)dt

s(t)=4.9t^2+35t+C

now, we have

s(0)=6

we can use it and find C

s(0)=4.9(0)^2+35(0)+C

6=4.9(0)^2+35(0)+C

now, we can plug back C

C=6

and we get

s(t)=4.9t^2+35t+6.............Answer

Answer:

The first question tan(24) = x/12 because tan(x) = opposite/adjacent

so x in radians ≈ -25.618....

x in degrees ≈ 5.342....

For the second question tan(72) = x/20

x in radians ≈ -5.248....

x in degrees ≈ 61.553....

PLEASEE HELP HURRYYYYYY PLEASE
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

4        4+6

---- = ----------

5         AC

4        10

---- = ----------

5         AC

Using cross products

4 * AC = 5*10

4AC = 50

Divide by 4

AC = 50/4

AC =12.5

An Easter basket contains eggs of three different colors. Find the total number of eggs in the basket if 2 7 of all eggs are gre
sashaice [31]

Answer:

56 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

If \frac{2}{7} of all eggs are green, \frac{1}{4} of all are blue, then

1-\dfrac{2}{7}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{28-2\cdot 4-7}{28}=\dfrac{13}{28}

of all eggs are red.

We know that there are 26 red eggs

26\text{ eggs }-\dfrac{13}{28}\\ \\x\text{ eggs }- 1[=\dfrac{28}{28}]

Make a proportion

\dfrac{26}{x}=\dfrac{\frac{13}{28}}{1}\\ \\26\cdot 1=x\cdot \dfrac{13}{28}\ [\text{Cross multiply}]\\ \\13x=26\cdot 28\ [\text{Multiply by 28 to get rid of fraction}]\\ \\x=\dfrac{26\cdot 28}{13}\ [\text{Divide by 13 to get x}]\\ \\x=2\cdot 28\\ \\x=56
