Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of father = x years

and the present age of son = y years

according to the first condition

x + y =44 ........(i)

according to the second condition

x+8 = 2(y+8)

or x+ 8 = 2y + 16

or x- 2y = 8 ............(ii)

solve the equation (i) & (ii) we get

x + y =44

x- 2y = 8

••••••••••••••••••••••••

3y = 36

or y = 12

put the value of y in equation (i), we get

x + 12 =44

or x = 32

so the present age of father = x =32 years

and the present age of son = y = 12 years.

Which equation results from isolating a radical term and squaring both sides of the equation for the equation ?
Bezzdna [24]
We can solve for the equivalent expression of the given expression:
√(x+6) + √x = 8
First, we need to square both sides such as shown below:
((√x+6) + (√x) =8)²
(x+6) + x = 64
Perform transposition and combine similar terms
x + 6 + x =64
2x = 64 -6
x = 29

For which of the following is x = -5 a solution? Select all that apply.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

b. -x^2 + 50 = 25

c. |2x| = 10

d. x < 0

e. 2x < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -5

-(-5)² + 50

-25 + 50 = 25

|2(-5)| = |-10| = 10

-5 < 0

2(-5) = -10 < 10

Write the given expression as an algebraic expression in x. tan(2 cos^-1(x))
miv72 [106K]
\bf tan\left[ 2cos^{-1}(x) \right]\implies tan\left[ 2cos^{-1}\left( \frac{x}{1} \right) \right]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{if we say }cos^{-1}\left( \frac{x}{1} \right)=\theta\textit{  that means }tan\left[ 2cos^{-1}\left( \frac{x}{1} \right) \right]\iff tan(2\theta)\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;cos^{-1}\left( \frac{x}{1} \right)=\theta\implies cos(\theta)=\cfrac{x}{1}\cfrac{\leftarrow adjacent=a}{\leftarrow hypotenuse=c}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;

\bf \textit{again, using the pythagorean theorem to get the opposite side}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{1^2-x^2}=b&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\pm\sqrt{1-x^2}=b\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{2tan(\theta)}{1-tan^2(\theta)}\implies tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{2\cdot \frac{\pm\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}}{1-\left( \frac{\pm\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x} \right)^2}&#10;\\\\\\

\bf tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{\frac{\pm2\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}}{1-\frac{1-x}{x}}\implies &#10;tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{\frac{\pm2\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}}{\frac{x-1+x}{x}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{\pm2\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\cdot \cfrac{x}{2x-1}&#10;\implies &#10;tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{\pm 2\sqrt{1-x^2}}{2x-1}

zepelin [54]

Answer:

36 Teachers in Total

Step-by-step explanation:

I would use Ratio.

Students: 128 + 121 + 135 = 384 total students

Teachers: Students

3 : 32

36 : 384

384 ÷ 32 = 12

12 x 3 = 36

Jacob distributed a survey to his fellow students asking them how many hours they spent on the Internet in the past day. He also
Anna35 [415]

The linear equation B. y = -x +7.5 best describes the given model. The mood rating for a student that spent 5.5 hours online would be 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; We plot the points that fall on the line and that lie on an exact x or y coordinate. The following 4 points are plotted (0.5, 7), (2, 5.5), (2.5, 5) and (3.5, 4). We substitute the values of x in the given equations to see which best describes the model.

Step 2; When y = x + 7.5, we get the coordinates as (0.5, 8), (2, 9.5), (2.5, 10) and (3.5, 11).

When y = -x + 7.5, the coordinates are (0.5, 7), (2, 5.5), (2.5, 5) and (3.5, 4).

When y = \frac{-1x}{2} + 7.5, the coordinates are (0.5, 7.25), (2, 6.5), (2.5, 6.25) and        (3.5, 5.75).

So equation 2 has the closest values to the actaul graph.

Step 3; By substituting x = 5.5, y = -(5.5) + 7.5 = 7.5 - 5.5 = 2.
