a. The equation that relates Ann's age (x) and Tom's age (y) is a line
The slope-intercept form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The slope of the line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:
From the table, the line passes through the points (4, 8) and (8, 12), then its slope is:
Substituting with m = 1 and the point (4, 8) into the general equation, we get:
8 = 1(4) + b
8 = 4 + b
8 - 4 = b
4 = b
Finally, the equation that compares Tom's and Ann's age is:
y = x + 4
b. To graph the line y = x + 4, we need to draw two points and then connect them with a line. Replacing with x = 0 into the equation:
y = 0 + 4
y = 4
then, the point (0, 4) is on the line. And we can also use the point (4,8)
Answer:
Dezias' pensil is 5.11-1.09=4.02 inches long
Paul's pencil is 4.02+2.05=6.07 inches long
Miguel's pencil is 5.11+1.75=6.86 inches long
Combined are 5.11+4.02+6.07+6.86=22.06
The fraction is 22.06/12=1.8383333...

Answer:
(a) x = (3 -ln(3))/5 ≈ 0.819722457734
(b) y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Taking the natural log of both sides, we have ...
2x +1 = ln(3) +4 -3x
5x = ln(3) +3 . . . . . . . . add 3x-1
x = (ln(3) +3)/5 ≈ 0.820

(b) Assuming "lg" means "log", the logarithm to base 10, we have ...
log(y -6) +log(y +15) = 2
(y -6)(y +15) = 100 . . . . . . . taking antilogs
y^2 -9x -190 = 0 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 100
(y -19)(y +10) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor
The values of y that make these factors zero are -19 and 10. We know from the first term that (y-6) > 0, so y > 6. That means y = -19 is an extraneous solution.
The solution is ...
y = 10

When solving equations using a graphing calculator, it often works well to define a function f(x) such that the solution is f(x) = 0, the x-intercept(s). That form is easily obtained by subtracting the right side of the equation from both sides of the equation. In part (a) here, that is ...
f(x) = e^(2x+1) -3e^(4-3x)
Dimensions of the logo:
W = 4 in, L = 6 in
Dimensions of the billboard:
W ( Billboard ) = 4 x 15/2 = 2 x 15 = 30 in
L ( Billboard ) = 6 x 15/2 = 3 x 15 = 45 in
