The answer is 3. By cubing a number you are literally taking the number and multiplying it by itself 3 times. So, in this case. The answer is 3.
The first thing to do is identify the unnecessary information (that they met 2 years ago).
From there, let's go back three years ago. We'll call Daniel's age x, and Ben's age will be 3x. Ben's age is also equal to x + 20.
3x = x+ 20
2x = 20
x = 10
Daniel was 10 three years ago, and Ben was 30. Now, Ben is 33.
Answer:
; 
Step-by-step explanation:
You can write two expressions that are in terms of 'x' and 'y'. This is a right triangle, so Pythagorean's theorem can be used. We can also use the angle to find the sine of 30 degrees.
<u>Pythagorean's Theorem:</u>
The values 'a' and 'b' are the two shorter sides of the triangle, while the value 'c' is the longest side of the triangle; the hypotenuse.



<u>Sine of the Angle:</u>
Sine is defined to be the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. Let's take the sine of 30 degrees:




Plug this value of 'y' into the first expression derived from Pythagorean's theorem:






Use this value of 'x' to solve for 'y' in the expression from Pythagorean's theorem:






Step 2 is wrong and i don't know the other question
1/3 is the rate of change. the rate of change is the slope of an equation
