Last year, the ratio of the ages of Mel and her friend is 3:4. Next year, the ratio will be 4:5. Form two simultaneous equations using the information above, and solve them by using the elimination method. Hence find their ages now.​

Answer:

  x² -3/4x +1/4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the two equations in factored and expanded forms:

  (x -p²)(x -q²) = x² -(p²+q²)x +p²q² = 0   ⇒   p²+q² = 1, p²q² = 16

and

  (x -1/p)(x -1/q) = x² -(1/p+1/q)x +1/(pq) = 0

Consider the squares of the sum and product of roots:

  constant term: (1/(pq))² = 1/(p²q²) = 1/16   ⇒   1/(pq) = √(1/16) = 1/4

  x-term: (1/p +1/q)² = (p +q)²/(pq)² = (p² +q² +2pq)/(p²q²)

  = (p² +q²)/(p²q²) +2/(pq)

  = 1/16 +2/√16 = 9/16   ⇒   (1/p +1/q) = √(9/16) = 3/4

Then the equation with roots 1/p and 1/q is ...

  x² -3/4x +1/4 = 0

The reflection of the given △ABC is shown that be △A'B'C' with vertices A' (6, -2); B' (-4, -4), and C' (-3, -2).

What is reflection?

So, the △A'B'C' is:

△ABC:

Now, Translation: (x,y)→(x+2,y+1) (

(x: axis is the line of reflection)

△A'B'C'

let

d1 = 250 mi the distance that Mattie Evans drove

v1 = the speed of Mattie Evans

d2 = 1300 mi the distance the plane traveled

v2 = the speed of the plane

The speed of the plane was 190 mph faster than the speed of the car:

v2 = v1 + 190

since time = distance/speed and they both traveled the same time we have

d1/v1 = d2/v2

250/v1 = 1300/v2 cross multiply

250v2 = 1300v1 divid eboth sides by 50

5v2 = 26v1

by solving the system of equations:

v2 = v1 + 190

5v2 = 26v1

we find

v1 = 45.24 mph

v2 = 235.24 mph

Answer:

4 : 3 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 of 150 = 300/5 or 60;  therefore, there are 60 blue marbles

3/10 of 150 = 450/10 or 45;  therefore, there are 45 clear marbles

150 - (60 + 45) = number of green marbles;  there are 45 green marbles

Blue : Clear : Green ratio is 60 : 45 : 45 or 4 : 3 : 3

Using the surface area of a rectangular prism, it is found that she will need 366 square inches of wrapping paper to wrap the box.

He wraps the box with paper outside, hence, the amount needed is the surface area.

The surface area of a rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:

[tex]S = 2(lw + lh + wh)[/tex]

In this problem, the dimensions of 11 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 5 inches tall mean that [tex]l = 11, w = 8, h = 5[/tex]. Hence:

[tex]S = 2[11(8) + 11(5) + 8(5)] = 366[/tex]

She will need 366 square inches of wrapping paper to wrap the box.

The cost to employ the contractors is $11250

The general cost to employ someone is between 1.25 and 1.40 of their real wage. This means the real wage is lower than the cost to employ that person.

Moreover, to determine the cost to employ the contractors, we need to determine their total wage:

Now, for all the machines to be repaired you will need to pay a total of $9000

Finally, let's find out the cost using the minimum rate.

$9000 x 1.25 = $11,250

Answer:

$8800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months contract A is employed and let y be the number of months contractor B is employed. Since we are trying to minimize cost, our objective function represents the total cost to employ contractor A and contract B. This function is defined by

C(x,y)=800x+1000y

The first constraint is that the company needs to have 12 IBM copying machines serviced and we know that contractor A can repair 2 IBM copying machines and contractor B can repair 1 IBM copying machines. This translates into the following inequality.

2x+y≥12

The second constraint is that the company needs 18 Xerox copying machines serviced and we know that contractor A can repair 1 Xerox copy machines while contractor B can repair 3 Xerox copy machines. This translates into the following inequality.

x+3y≥18

The third constraint is that the company needs 20 Canon copying machines serviced and we know that contractor A and contractor B can repair 2 Canon copy machines each. This translates into the following inequality.

2x+2y≥20

The fact that x and y must be positive numbers is represented by the following two constraints:

x≥0,y≥0

Using all of this information, our problem is as follows.

Minimize: C(x,y)=800x+1000y

Subject to: 2x+y≥12

x+3y≥18

2x+2y≥20

x≥0

y≥0

The corner points are:

(0,12),(18,0),(2,8),(6,4)

The point (6,4) gives lowest cost: $8800

Equation in slope intercept form: y = -2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must convert this equation from standard form to slope intercept form (y=mx+b).

Subtract 6x on both sides to get 3y = -6x - 3. Then divide by 3 on both sides to get y = -2x - 1.

Now to graph:

First we will plot the y-intercept, which will be (0,-1). The point will be on the y-axis, since that's the point in which the line will cross.

Next we will go down 2 units and over to the right 1 unit, until we get to the next point.

Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance  / time
