Let Alex's height = a.

Let Ben'x height = b.


a + b = 130

b - a = b/3


Subtract b/3 from both sides int he second equation to obtain:

(2/3)b - a = 0


Add this new equation to the first original equation.


(5/3)b = 130


b = 130 * 3/5


b = 78


a + b = 130


a + 78 = 130


a = 130 - 78


a = 52


Answer: Alex's height is 52 inches, and Ben's height is 78 inches.

Answer:

when entering values of x in the function, it is observed that for k = 7 the results of f (x) displace 10 units. For this see the attached table. Therefore, for this case, the correct answer is k = 7 and the way to solve it is to substitute values of x in the given functions and see the results of f (x).

so K=7

Quadrilateral PUMA has coordinates at P(-5,-2), U(-1,2), M(4,-3), A(0,-7) and it is transformed by (x+3,y-5). Determined the ima
IgorLugansk [536]

The image of M is (7 , -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some transformation

  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the right by h units  then its image is (x + h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the left by h units  then its image is (x - h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically up by k units  then its image is (x , y + k)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically down by k units  then its image is (x , y - k)

∵ The quadrilateral PUMA has coordinates at:

   P (-5 , -2) , U (-1 , 2) , M (4 , -3) , A (0 , -7)

∵ It is transformed by (x + 3 , y - 5)

- That means the quadrilateral translated 3 units right and 5 units

   down, then we add each x-coordinate by 3 and subtract 5 from

   each y-coordinate

∵ The coordinates of point M are (4 , -3)

∴ The image of point M = (4 + 3 , -3 - 5)

∴ The image of point M = (7 , -8)

The image of M is (7 , -8)

Write the given differential equation in the form L(y) = g(x), where L is a linear differential operator with constant coefficie
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The differential equation will be like the one shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Let the equation be given as:

y(4) + 8y' = 6

The equation will be expressed linearly as follows:

y(4) + 8\frac{dy}{dx}  = 6

8\frac{dy}{dx}+ 4y = 6

This is the linear form of the differential equation.
