"In three more years,Miguel's grandfather will be six times as old as Miguel was last year. When Miguel's present age is added to his grandfather's present age, the total is 68. How old is each one now?"

Miguel is 11 years old and his grandfather is 57 years old.
Last year Miguel was 10. In three more years his grandfather would be 60. 60/6=10. 11+57=68

Jasper's lawn is 3/4 of an acre in size. The fertilizer bag states that 5 1/2 bags are required for 1 acre. How many bags does J
Nady [450]

Answer: 4\dfrac{1}{8}\ \text{bags}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jasper lawn is three-fourth of an acre

1 acre of land requires 5\frac{1}{2} bags

convert mixed numeral to fraction

\Rightarrow 5\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{11}{2}

\therefore 1\ \text{acre}\equiv\dfrac{11}{2}\ \text{bags}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}\ \text{acre}\equiv \dfrac{11}{2}\times \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{33}{8}\ \text{bags}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{33}{8}\ \text{bags}=4\dfrac{1}{8}\ \text{bags}

Find the area of the triangle formed by the origin and the points of intersection of parabolas y=− 1/3 (x−1)^2+8 and y=x^2−2x−3.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The area of the triangle formed by origin, and the points (4,5) and (-2,5) will be 15 sq. units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two parabolas are y = - \frac{1}{3}(x - 1)^{2} + 8 and y = x² - 2x - 3.

Now, solving those two equations we will get the points of intersection.

So, - \frac{1}{3}(x - 1)^{2} + 8 = x^{2} - 2x - 3

⇒ - (x - 1)² + 24 = 3x² - 6x - 9

⇒ -x² + 2x - 1 + 24 = 3x² - 6x - 9

⇒ 4x² - 8x - 32 = 0

⇒ x² - 2x - 8 = 0

⇒ x² - 4x + 2x - 8 = 0

⇒ (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

So, x = 4 or - 2.

Now, for x = 4 , y = 4² - 2(4) - 3 = 5 and the point of intersection is (4,5).

Or, for x = - 2, y = (- 2)² - 2(- 2) - 3 = 5 and the point of intersection is (-2,5).

Now, points (4,5) and (-2,5) make a straight line parallel to the x-axis at a perpendicular distance of 5 units from origin and its length is (4 - (- 2)) = 6 units.

So, the area of the triangle formed by origin, and the points (4,5) and (-2,5) will be = 0.5 × 5 × 6 = 15 sq. units. (Answer)

for a field trip, a bus company charges a flat fee plus an additional fee per student. For 40 students, the total cost is $250.0
swat32
Okay so 6.25 a student then it goes to 4.50 for 15 more students at 70 students its 358.75 now it drops another 1.75 so it would be 368.75 for 80 students so the equation is 4.48 x 80 = 368.75. enjoy :D
