Answer:
9 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)
O = M + 6
Y = M - 3
30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3) ... combine like terms
30 = 3M + 3 ... subtract 3 from both sides
27 = 3M ... divide both sides by 3
9 = M
Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.
Answer:
y=3-b linear function
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Law of Cosines g^2 = f^2 + h^2 -2fhCosG f^2 = g^2 + h^2 -2ghCosF h^2 = f^2 + g^2 -2fgCosH
f^2 = 28^2 + 15^2 -2*28*15Cos87 28^2 = 31^2 + 15^2 -2*31*15CosG
f^2 = 784 + 225 - 43.96 784 = 961+225 - 930CosG
f^2 = 965.0378 784 - 1186 = -930CosG
f = 31 -402 = -930CosG Divide by -930
.432258 = CosG
Cos^-1(.432258) = G
G = 64 degrees
Angle H = 180 - 64 - 87 = 29 degrees
Side f = 31 Angle F = 87 degrees
Side g = 28 Angle G = 64 degrees
Side h = 15 Angle H =29 degrees
Well the y-intercept is where a line crosses the y-axis
y=-4x-6
think of it as y=mx+b
m is always going to be your slope
b is always going to be your y-intercept
y-intercept of y=-4x-6
is -6
