if roy is 4 years older than his brother and the product of their ages is 165, how old is roys younger brother

Answers

Answer 1

Roy's younger brother's age is 11 years.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

If Roy is 4 years older than his brother and the product of their ages is 165.

Now, let's take the age of Roy's younger brother to be x years.

Age of Roy = 4+x

So, we have the following expression:

x(4+x) = 165

[tex]x^{2} +4x-165=0[/tex]

Now, we will factorize this equation by splitting the middle term:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+15x-11x-165 = 0

Now, taking x as a common factor from the first two terms and -11 as a common factor from the last two terms:

x(x+15)-11(x+15) = 0

Taking (x+15) as a common factor:

(x+15) (x-11) = 0

x+15 = 0 and x-11 = 0

x = -15 and x = 11

Now, we know that age can not be negative.

Hence, Roy's younger brother is 11 years old.

If the volume of a sphere is decreasing at a constant rate of 55 cubic feet per minute. The volume of a sphere  is  0.036.

How to find the  volume of a sphere?

Using this formula to find the  volume of a sphere

V = 4/3 π r³

Taking the derivative with respect to time:

dV/dt = 4π r² dr/dt

Let plug in the formula

For a project in his Geometry class, Levi uses a mirror on the ground to measure the height of his school’s football goalpost. He walks a distance of 12.05 meters from the goalpost, then places a mirror flat on the ground, marked with an X at the center. He then walks 2 more meters past the mirror, so that when he turns around and looks down at the mirror, he can see the top of the goalpost clearly marked in the X. His partner measures the distance from his eyes to the ground to be 1.15 meters. How tall is the goalpost? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

Answers

The measured distance of 1.15 meters from Levi's eyes to to the ground indicates that the height of the goalpost located 12.05 meters from the mirror when Levi is 2 meters from the mirror, found using similar triangles is approximately 6.93 meters.

What are similar triangles?

Two triangles are similar if two angles in one triangle are congruent to two angles in the other triangle.

According the laws of reflection, the angle made by the incident ray with the normal is the same as the angle made by the reflected ray and the normal

Both the angle made by Levi and the angle made by the goalpost with the ground are perpendicular or 90°.

Therefore, the triangle formed by the line of site to the mirror and the reflected ray to the top of the goal post are similar triangles by Angle-Angle similarity postulate.

The ratio of corresponding sides is the same in similar triangles, therefore;

[tex]\dfrac{Levi's \, distance \, from \, the \, mirror}{Goalpost \, distance \, from \ the \ mirror }=\dfrac{Levi's \,height}{Height\, of \, the \, goalpost, H}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{2}{12.05} =\dfrac{1.15}{H}[/tex]

[tex]H =\dfrac{1.15\times 12.05}{2} \approx 6.93[/tex]

The height of the goalpost is approximately 6.93 meters

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (0,-1) and has a gradient of -3. Leave your answer in the form y = m x + c

Answers

The equation of a line that passes through the point (0,-1) and has a gradient of -3 is y = -3x - 1

How to determine the equation of the line?

From the question, we have the following points that can be used in our computation:

(x, y) = (0, 1)

Also, we have the slope to be

gradient = -3

Rewrite as

m = -3

The equation of the line is then calculated using the following equation

y = m(x - x₁) + y₁

Where

(x, y) = (0, -1)

m = -3

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

y = -3 * (x - 0) - 1

Evaluate

y = -3 * x - 1

So, we have

y = -3x - 1

Hence, the line equation is y = -3x - 1

The equation to solve for W is W = (P-2L)/2.

We have the following information:

P = 2L + 2W

Now, we have to solve this equation for W.

Subtracting 2L from both sides of the equation will give us the following expression:

P-2L = 2W

Now, we will divide both sides of the equation by 2. And we will have the following expression:

Simplify first:

2p = q√76 + √192p = q(√4×√19) + √192p = 2q√19 + √192p = √19(2q + 1)

We need both p and q be rational numbers and we know √19 is irrational.

Rearrange the given equation so that both sides are in the same form:

As p and q are rationals, both sides of the equation have to equal zero.

The slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (0, 1) and (1, -2) will be -3.

First, let us understand the slope of a line:

A slope of a line is defined in mathematics as the change in the y coordinate with regard to the change in the x coordinate.

We are given the points:

(0, 1) and (1, -2)

We will calculate the slope of the line using the following formula:

m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

Let x_1 = 0, x_2 = 1, y_1 = 1 and y_2 = -2.

Substitute the given values in the above formula, we will get:

m = (-2 - 1) / (1 - 0) = -3 / 1 = -3

So, the slope of the line is -3.

Mathematical expression:

When we validly combine numbers and variables, using operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and other operations and functions as yet unlearned, the resulting combination of mathematical symbols is called a mathematical expression.

Here we have to find the number of 12-inch pieces can the dressmaker cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon.

We are provided the length of the ribbon, which is 9 feet.

As we know that

1 feet = 12 inches

So rolls of 9 feet can make 9 pieces of 12 inches.

So 5 of these rolls of ribbon can make = 5 × 9 = 45 pieces.
