Answer:

Thomas's age: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

Thomas's age - Huilan's age = 15 (1)

Thomas's age + Huilan's age = 65 (2)

Add 1 and 2 we have :

2T = 65+15

<=>2T = 80

$T=\frac{80}{2} =40$

So Thomas's age is 40.

P/s: T is Thomas's age

Answer:

40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hulian and Thomas together is 65 years

let us suppose hulian is X

now, so Thomas is x+15

so x+x+15=65

so 2x = 65-15

2x=50

x=25

Hulian is 25

and Thomas is 25+15=40

which expressions represents a 20% discount off the price of an item that originally cost D dollars

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

D - (D/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine that D equals 100 dollars -

Well, we know that to get 20% of an amount, we need to divide the amount by five. So let's do that -

100 / 5 = 20

We now know that 20% of 100 dollars is equal to 20 dollars. We have now finished the first part. On to the second part.

We now need to take away 20% of 100 dollars off of 100 dollars - this is the price of the item after the discount.

100 - 20 = 80 dollars.

We now fit in D instead of 100 dollars -

D - (D/5)

Both the La Plata river dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei) and

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1. A sperm whale is 3 orders of magnitude heavier than a La Plata river dolphin; 2. The radius of the larger ball is one (1) order of magnitude bigger than the radius of the smaller ball; 3. The volume of the larger ball is 3 orders of magnitude bigger than the volume of the smaller ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we expressed a number as:

$\\ N = a * 10^{b}$ (1)

Where

$\\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} \leq a < \sqrt{10}$ (2)

$\\ 1 \leq a < 10$ (3)

Then, b represents the order of magnitude of such a number (Order of magnitude (2020), in Wikipedia).

The order of magnitude can be defined as "...the smallest power of ten needed to represent a quantity" (Weisstein, Eric W. "Order of Magnitude". From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource).

Having gathered all this information, we can proceed as follows:

<h3>First case</h3>

The La Plata river dolphin weighs between 30 and 50kg and the sperm whale weighs between 35,000 and 40,000kg.

Then, considering (1) and (3) to express the dolphin and whale's weight (since in this way the order of magnitude is the same as the exponent part in the scientific notation):

$\\ 30kg \leq Dolphin_{weight} \leq 50kg$

$\\ 3*10^{1}kg \leq Dolphin_{weight} \leq 5*10^{1}kg$

$\\ 35000kg \leq Whale_{weight} \leq 40000kg$

$\\ 3.5*10^{4}kg \leq Whale_{weight} \leq 4.0*10^{4}kg$

Since the range for the weights are in the same order of magnitude for both dolphin and whale (considering the definition above):

$\\ Dolphin_{weight} = 10^{1}\;(order\;of\;magnitude=1)$

$\\ Whale_{weight} = 10^{4}\;(order\;of\;magnitude=4)$

Then

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight} = 10^{4}}{Dolphin_{weight} = 10^{1}}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = \frac{10^{4}}{10^{1}}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = 10^{4-1}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = 10^{3}$

Thus

A sperm whale is 3 orders of magnitude heavier than a La Plata river dolphin.

<h3>Second case</h3>

Following the same reasoning, we can conclude that the radius of the larger ball is one (1) order of magnitude bigger than the radius of the smaller ball:

$\\ \frac{Larger\;ball_{radius}}{Smaller\;ball_{radius}} = \frac{10^{1}}{10^{0}}$

$\\ \frac{Larger\;ball_{radius}}{Smaller\;ball_{radius}} = 10^{1-0} = 10^{1}$

<h3>Third case</h3>

For this case, we need to calculate the volume of a sphere for both radii (1cm and 10cm).

The volume of a sphere is

$\\ V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*R^{3}$

Then, the volume of the ball of radius 1cm is:

$\\ V_{radius=1} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*(1cm)^{3}$

$\\ V_{radius=1} \approx 4.19*10^{0}cm^{3}$

And, the volume of the ball of radius 10cm is:

$\\ V_{radius=10} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*(10cm)^{3}$

$\\ V_{radius=10} \approx 4.19*10^{3}cm^{3}$

Thus

$\\ \frac{10^{3}}{10^{0}} = 10^{3}$

As a result, the volume of the larger ball is 3 orders of magnitude bigger than the volume of the smaller ball.

I need help ASAP!!!Please explain the answer

Stells [14]

Answer:

The formula for area is length times width.

it's 8m long, and 6m wide. When we multiply it, we get 48m that is for one side of the cube, so we count how many sides there is. There's 6, so we multiply 6 times 48 and the complete surface area for the whole cube is 288m

Which equation should be used to graph y=sec^-1(x) on a calculator ?

erastova [34]

Arcsecant or arcsec or sec⁻¹ is an inverse trigonometric function. And many calculators don't have a key for them because they can be calculated with basic trigonometric functions like so:

sec⁻¹(x)=cos⁻¹(1/x).

So the correct answer is the fourth one: y=cos⁻¹(1/x).
