The ratio of the ages of three children is 2:4:5. The sum of their ages is 33. What is the age of each child?

We can represent this situation by the equation 2x+4x+5x=33.

Then 11x=33, and x = 3.

Then the children's ages are in the ratio 2x:4x:5x, or 2(3):4(3):5(3), or

6:12:15.

Do these 3 ages add up to 33? 6 + 12 + 15 = 33? YES!

The children's ages are 6, 12 and 15 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the given ages be 2x , 4x and 5x.

Here,

2x + 4x +5x =33

or,x = 33/ 11

or,x =3

Hence,

2x =2 (3)=6years

4x=4(3)=12years

5x=5(3)=15years

8-5=3 : This means you add three each time

f(5)=8+3=1

f(6)=11+3=14

hope this helps :)

When a product is raised to a power, it is equal to the product of each factor raised to that power. Show that this rule does no

<span>Exponential notation is an easier way to write a number as a product of many factors. ... Any number (except 0) raised to the zero power is equal to 1. 1490 = 1.</span>

Just want to check to make sure this is right. I got 81 as the average so D seemed right.

) Set up a double integral for calculating the flux of F=3xi+yj+zk through the part of the surface z=−5x−2y+2 above the triangle

Fynjy0 [20]

The surface (call it $S$ ) is a triangle with vertices at the points

$x=0,y=0\implies z=2\implies(0,0,2)$

$x=0,y=2\implies z=-2\implies(0,2,-2)$

$x=2,y=0\implies z=-8\implies(2,0,-8)$

Parameterize $S$ by

$\vec s(u,v)=(1-v)(2,0,-8)+v\bigg((1-u)(0,2,-2)+u(0,0,2)\bigg)=(2-2v,2v-2uv,-8+6v+4uv)$

with $0\le u\le1$ and $0\le v\le1$ . Take the normal vector to $S$ to be

$\vec s_v\times\vec s_u=(20v,8v,4v)$

Then the flux of $\vec F$ across $S$ is

$\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\int_0^1\int_0^1\vec F(x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v))\cdot(\vec s_v\times\vec s_u)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
