Answer:
a) Here we have:
"In Family A, the youngest child is 7 years younger than the oldest, who is 18"
Let's define:
Y = age of the youngest child.
O = age of the oldest child.
Then we know that:
Y = O - 7
O = 18
Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:
Y = 18 - 7 = 11.
b) Here we have:
"In Family B, the middle child is 5 years older than the youngest child."
Let's define:
Y = age of the youngest child.
M = age of the middle child.
Here we have only one equation:
M = Y + 5.
Answer:
24 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
V = LWH = 2 × 3 × 4 cm³ = 24 cm³
The options can be rewrited as follow:
A. 5<4
B. 5<5
C. 5<4
D. 4<-5
∴ Answer is none of the above.
Unless perhaps you have written down the question incorrectly.
Answer:
x = 2 cm
y = 2 cm
A(max) = 4 cm²
Step-by-step explanation: See Annex
The right isosceles triangle has two 45° angles and the right angle.
tan 45° = 1 = x / 4 - y or x = 4 - y y = 4 - x
A(r) = x* y
Area of the rectangle as a function of x
A(x) = x * ( 4 - x ) A(x) = 4*x - x²
Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation:
A´(x) = 4 - 2*x A´(x) = 0 4 - 2*x = 0
2*x = 4
x = 2 cm
And y = 4 - 2 = 2 cm
The rectangle of maximum area result to be a square of side 2 cm
A(max) = 2*2 = 4 cm²
To find out if A(x) has a maximum in the point x = 2
We get the second derivative
A´´(x) = -2 A´´(x) < 0 then A(x) has a maximum at x = 2
