Let Zia's age be = x years

Raj is three years older than Zia, so Raj's age = x+3 years

As the sum of the squares of their ages is 369, so

x^{2}+(x+3)^{2}=369

x^{2}+x^{2}+6x+9=369

2x^{2}+6x+9=369

2x^{2}+6x-360=0

Factoring 2 out we have,

x^{2}+3x-180=0

Now solving this equation,

x^{2}+15x-12x-180=0

x(x+15)-12(x+15)

(x+15)(x-12)

x=-15 and x=12

Neglect the negative value as x cannot be negative

So x=12

Hence, Zia's age is 12 years and

Raj's age is 12+3 = 15 years

A pack of 100 wolves on a remote island are suffering from a new disease. Let W(t) be the number of sick wolves at time t. Suppo
Olin [163]

Answer:

b)\,\frac{dW}{dt}=kt\sqrt{W}, \,W(0)=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial number of sick wolves = W(0) = 10

At time t, no. of sick wolves = W(t)

Given that disease is spreading at a rate proportional to the product of the time elapsed and the square root of the number of sick wolves:

\frac{dW}{dt}=kt\sqrt{W}

Mathematical model of above case is:

\frac{dW}{dt}=kt\sqrt{W}, \,W(0)=10

Solve the system of equations: y= x^2 + 2x - 3 and y=3x+ 3.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

(-2, -3)

(3, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we're gonna get rid of the y's with substitution

x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3

Let's make this equation equal to zero

Subtract 3 from both sides

x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3

            - 3         - 3

x² + 2x - 6 = 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides

x² + 2x - 6 = 3x

    - 3x        - 3x

x² - x - 6 = 0

Factor the equation

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

This means x can be -2 or 3

Let's solve it with -2 first, plug the new x in y = 3x + 3

y = 3(-2) + 3

y = -6 + 3 = -3

Do the same for x = 3

y = 3(3) + 3

y = 9 + 3 = 12
