Answer:

So the son’s age is 24 and the father’s is 48. Ten years ago, they were 14 and 38, which adds up to 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the son’s age is x, the father’s age is 2x.

Ten years ago:

(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52

3x + 20 = 52

3x = 72

x = 24

2x = 48

Answer:

24 and 48

Today, the son is 24 years old, and the father is 48 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52

3x + 20 = 52

3x = 72

x = 24

The father is 2 times his son's age.

= 2(24)

= 48

So, the son is 24 and the father is 48.

10 years ago, son was 14 and father was 38, if added, this adds up to 52, so we know our calculations are correct.

Find all solutions of the equation sin^2 x=2sinx+3

Mashutka [201]

$\sin^2x=2\sin x+3$
$\sin^2x-2\sin x-3=0$
$(\sin x-3)(\sin x+1)=0$

which means either $\sin x=3$ or $\sin x=-1$ . The equation has no solution, since $\sin x$ is always bounded between -1 and 1. The second has one solution at $x=-\dfrac\pi2$ , and any number of complete revolutions will also satisfy this equation, so in general the solution would be $-\dfrac\pi2+2k\pi$ where $k$ is any integer.

So you could choose $A=-\dfrac\pi2$ and $B=2$ .

Eginning at 15,000 feet, a commercial jetliner begins climbing at a rate (in feet per minute) given by f(t)=e0.4t+8 f ( t ) = e

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

16,126 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the net change theorem and letting s(t) represent the aircraft's position, and s(0) be the aircraft's position at time t = 0, s(0) = 15000 ft and s(15 be the aircraft's position at time, t = 15 minutes respectively, then,

s(15) - s(0) = ∫₀¹⁵f(t)dt

s(15) - s(0) = ∫₀¹⁵[ $e^{0.4t} + 8$ ]dt

s(15) - 15000 = [ $\frac{e^{0.4t}}{0.4} + 8t$ ]₀¹⁵

s(15) - 15,000 ft = $\frac{e^{0.4X15}}{0.4} + 8X15 - \frac{e^{0.4 X 0}}{0.4} + 8(0)\\\frac{e^{6}}{0.4} + 120 - \frac{e^{0}}{0.4} + 0\\\frac{403.43}{0.4} + 120 - \frac{1}{0.4} + 0\\1008.57 + 120 - 2.5\\1126.07$

s(15) = 15,000 ft + 1126.07 ft

s(15) = 16,126.07 ft

s(15) ≅ 16,126 ft to the nearest foot
