<h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u></h3>

Emily is 4 times as old as Tiffany. In ten years time, Emily will be twice as old as Tiffany. Find their ages.

<h3><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h3>
  • Let the age of Tiffany be x years.
  • Then, the age of Emily = 4x years.
  • After 10 years, the age of Tiffany will be (x+10) years.
  • After 10 years, the age of Emily will be (4x+10) years.
  • Therefore, by the problem

4x + 10 = 2(x + 10) \\  = 4x + 10 = 2x + 20 \\   = > 4x - 2x = 20 - 10 \\  =  > 2x = 10 \\  =  > x =  \frac{10}{2}  \\  =  > x = 5

  • So, Tiffany's present age = 5 years.
  • Emily's present age = (4×5) years = 20 years.
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Emily's age is 20 years and Tiffany's age is 5 years.

Hope it helps!

GCSE maths question about the turning point of the graph.<br> please help!
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of the turning point are (2, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the turning points of the quadratic equation

y = ax² + bx + c, are (h, k), where

  • h = \frac{-b}{2a}
  • k is the value of y at x = h

∵ The equation of the curve is y = x² + bx + c

→ By comparing it with the form above

∴ a = 1

∵ The point (0, -5) lies on the curve

→ Substitute x by 0 and y by -5 in the equation to find the value f c

∵ -5 = (0)² + b(0) + c

∴ -5 = 0 + 0 + c

∴ -5 = c

→ Substitute it in the equatin

∴ y = x² + bx - 5

∵ The point (5, 0) lies on the curve

→ Substitute x by 5 and y by 0 in the equation to find the value f c

∵ 0 = (5)² + b(5) - 5

∴ 0 = 25 + 5b - 5

→ Add the like terms in the right side

∴ 0 = 20 + 5b

→ Subtract 5b from bth sides

∵ 0 - 5b = 20 + 5b - 5b

∴ -5b = 20

→ Divide both sides by -5 to find b

∴ b = -4

→ Substitute it in the equatin

∴ y = x² - 4x - 5

∵ a = 1 and b = -4

→ Substitute them in the rule of h above t find it

∵ h = \frac{-(-4)}{2(1)} = \frac{4}{2}

∴ h = 2

→ To find k, substitute x by 2 and y by k

∵ k = (2)² - 4(2) - 5

∴ k = 4 - 8 - 5

∴ k = -9

∴ The cordinates of the turning point are (2, -9)

PLEASE HELP :( .... PLEASE

You have 2 triangles and 3 rectangles. 
Start with a triangle:
area is base side * height / 2 ->  4 * 3 / 2 = 6
The other triangle has the same area: 6

First rectangle: side * other side -> 7 * 5 = 35
Second rectangle: 7 * 4 = 28
Third rectangle: 7 * 3 = 21

Now simply add all this together: 6+6+35+28+21 = 96

If a seed is planted, it has a 80% chance of growing into a healthy plant.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

0.336

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability:

P = nCr p^r q^(n-r)

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1-p).

Here, n = 8, r = 7, p = 0.8, and q = 0.2.

P = ₈C₇ (0.8)⁷ (0.2)⁸⁻⁷

P = 0.336

According to the empirical (69-95-99.7) rule, if a random variable z has a standard normal distribution, then approximately 95%
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Using z-scores, it is found that the value of z is z = 1.96.

-----------------------------

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula, which for a measure X, in a distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, is given by:  

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
  • Each z-score has an associated p-value, which is the percentile.

  • The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that the middle 95% is between the <u>2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile</u>.
  • The 2.5th percentile is Z with a p-value of 0.025, thus Z = -1.96.
  • The 97.5th percentile is Z with a p-value of 0.975, thus Z = 1.96.
  • Thus, the value of Z is 1.96.
