the product of the present ages of Two Sisters is 150. 5 years ago, the elder sister was twice as old as her younger sister find their age​

Answers

Answer 1

The younger sister is 10 years old and the elder sister is 15 years old.

Let's represent the present ages of the two sisters as x and y, where x is the age of the elder sister and y is the age of the younger sister.

According to the given information, the product of their present ages is 150:

x * y = 150 ---(1)

It is also stated that 5 years ago, the elder sister was twice as old as her younger sister:

x - 5 = 2 * (y - 5) ---(2)

We can now solve these two equations simultaneously to find the ages of the two sisters.

From equation (2), we can simplify:

x - 5 = 2y - 10

x = 2y - 10 + 5

x = 2y - 5

Substituting this value of x into equation (1), we have:

(2y - 5) * y = 150

2y^2 - 5y = 150

2y^2 - 5y - 150 = 0

Now we can solve this quadratic equation either by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. By factoring, we find:

(2y + 15)(y - 10) = 0

This gives us two possible solutions for y:

2y + 15 = 0 --> y = -7.5 (Discard this since age cannot be negative)

y - 10 = 0 --> y = 10

So, the younger sister is 10 years old.

To find the elder sister's age, we can substitute this value of y into equation (2):

x = 2y - 5

x = 2 * 10 - 5

x = 20 - 5

x = 15

Therefore, the elder sister is 15 years old.

for such more question on ages

The true statement  the same distance from the center of the circle is they must be perpendicular.

We have given that,

Two chords in a given circle are the same distance from the center of the circle.

What is the condition for two chords to be congruent?

If the two chords are congruent, then they must be equidistant from the center of the circle.

A is rejected because the chord might not pass through the center of the circle.

B is rejected because the chords are not obligated to be parallel.

C is rejected because it is not compulsory for the chords to be perpendicular.

Graph the line passing through (6,−2) whose slope is m=−3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you know the slope m of a line and a point (x₀,y₀) on the line, you can write an equation for the line in "point-slope" form:

y-y₀ = m(x-x₀)

In your case,

y+2 = -3(x-6)

The line is easier to graph if you rearrange the equation to solve for y:

y = -3x+16

You know that (0,16) is one of the points on the line.

Plot the two points that you know, (6,-2) and (0,16), then draw a line through them.

Simplify. Identify any x value for which the expression is undefined x^2+3x/x^3

Answers

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean

[tex] \dfrac{x^2 + 3x}{x^3} [/tex]

The only undefined values of x come from the denominator, x^3.

A denominator cannot equal zero since division by zero is undefined.

Therefore if x^3 equals zero, you get an un defined expression.

We let x^3 = 0 and solve for x to find the values of x that would cause an undefined expression.

x^3 = 0

Solve for x by taking the cubic root of both sides.

x = 0

Answer: x = 0

Explain why it is correct to claim that A/B < B/A is true.
Given: 0 < A < B

I don't know how to explain this

Answers

Answer:

Think of it as a small number and a large number. If the large number is being divided by a small number, of course that would be larger than the small number being divided by the large number.

The statement /B < B/A is true if the 0 < A < B because the denominator is small so the value of B/A is larger.

What is inequality?

It is defined as the expression in mathematics in which both sides are not equal they have mathematical signs either less than or greater than known as inequality.

We have:

A/B < B/A

If you use the principle that the fraction must not be incorrect and have the value A/B1 (i.e., A and B are both positive), then this is true for positive values.

If  A/B = 2/3

Then B/A = 3/2

If A/B < B/A

2/3 < 3/2   (True)  if 0 < A < B

5/7 < 7/5  (true)  if 0 < A < B

Thus, the statement /B < B/A is true if the 0 < A < B because the denominator is small so the value of B/A is larger.
