Answer:
Let Craigs age = x
Therefore Dianes age = 25 + x ( since she's 25 years older)
Dianes + Craigs age = (25 + x) + x = 105 (They said both of their ages sums up to 105)
25 + 2x = 105
2x = 80
x = 40
Craigs age is 40 years old.
Dianes age is 65 years old.
Answer:
f(f(x)) = x⁴ + 2x² + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
if f(x) = x² + 1, then f(f(x)) is equal to:
f(x)² + 1
= (x² + 1)² + 1
= x⁴ + 2x² + 1 + 1
= x⁴ + 2x² + 2
The answer that would best complete the given statement above is Z-SCORE. <span>When a data value is converted to a standardized scale representing the number of standard deviations the data value lies from the mean, we call the new value a Z-SCORE. Hope this helps.</span>
Answer:
$4
Step-by-step explanation:
The two purchases can be written in terms of the cost of an adult ticket (a) and the cost of a student ticket (s):
7a +16s = 120 . . . . . . . . price for the first purchase
13a +9s = 140 . . . . . . . . price for the second purchase
Using Cramer's rule, the value of s can be found as ...
s = (120·13 -140·7)/(16·13 -9·7) = 580/145 = 4
The cost of a student ticket is $4.

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>
Cramer's rule is particularly useful for systems that don't have "nice" numbers that would make substitution or elimination easy methods to use. If you locate the numbers in the equation, you can see the X-patterns that are used to compute the numerator and denominator differences.
The value of a is (16·140 -9·120)/(same denominator) = 1160/145 = 8. I wanted to show you these numbers so you could see the numerator X-pattern for the first variable.

Of course, graphical methods can be quick and easy, too.
