A man has three children. They are not triplets. By a remarkable coincidence,

however, they were all born on the same day in different years. By another

remarkable coincidence, their ages right now form a Pythagorean triple. The

oldest child is nine years older than the youngest, and the middle child is two

years younger than the oldest.


a) How old are the three children?


b) The man knows that a multiple of a Pythagorean triple is also a Pythagorean triple. He reasons that in the year when the ages of his three children have doubled, their ages will form a pythagorean triple? Is he correct? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

a) The current ages of his children are: 8 years, 15 years and 17 years

b) In the year when the ages of his three children have doubled, their ages also form a pythagorean triple.

Let x be the age of the youngest child, y represents the age of the middle child and z be the age of oldest child.

The oldest child is nine years older than the youngest.

so, we get an equation,

z = 9 + x

⇒ x = z - 9

and the middle child is two years younger than the oldest.

so, we get an equation,

y = z - 2

The age of his children now form a Pythagorean triple.

⇒ x² + y² = z²

substitute the values for x and y from above two equations.

⇒ (z - 9)² + (z - 2)² = z²

⇒ z² -18z + 81 + z² - 4z +4 = z²

⇒ 2z² -22z + 85 - z² = z² - z²

⇒ z² - 22z + 85 = 0

⇒ (z - 17)(z - 5) = 0

For z = 17:

x = 17 - 9

x = 8

and y = 17 - 2

y = 15

For z = 5, the value of x would be negative which is contradiction.

As is always greater than 0

For x = 8 , y = 15 and z = 17

Consider x² + y²

= 8² + 15²

= 64 + 225

= 289

= 17²

= z²

This means, (8, 15, 17) is a Pythagorean triple.

Thus, their current ages are: 8 years, 15 years and 17 years

If  the ages of his three children have doubled then:

x = 16 , y = 30 and z = 34

Consider x² + y²

= 16² + 30²

= 256 + 900

= 1156

= 34²

= z²

This means, (16, 30, 34) also form a Pythagorean triple.

In the year when the ages of his three children have doubled, their ages will form a pythagorean triple.

Thus, the man is correct.

Quadrilateral EFGH is a rectangle. If EF=4x−6 and HG=x+3 , find EF .

Answers

We are given that quadrilateral EFGH is a rectangle. If EF=4x−6 and HG=x+3 , then the side EF= -34.

What is a quadrilateral?

A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon, or a shape with four straight sides. It is a type of closed, two-dimensional shape. The four sides of a quadrilateral can be of equal or varying lengths and angles. Examples of quadrilaterals include squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, and trapezoids.

Since quadrilateral EFGH is a rectangle, the opposite sides are congruent and parallel.

Therefore, if EF = 4x - 6 and HG = x + 3, then HG=EF

so, x+3=4x-6

then, x=-9

Therefore, EF=4x-6=4(-9)-6= -34

What is Multiplicative Inverse?

The reciprocal of a particular integer is referred to as the multiplicative inverse. It is employed to make mathematical expressions simpler. The word "inverse" denotes an opposing or opposed action, arrangement, position, or direction. A number becomes 1 when it is multiplied by its multiplicative inverse.

When a number is multiplied by the original number, the result is 1, that number is said to be the multiplicative inverse of that number. A-1, or 1/a, stands for the multiplicative inverse of the letter "a". In other terms, two numbers are said to be multiplicative inverses of one another when their product is 1.

The division of 1 by a number yields the multiplicative inverse of that number. The number's reciprocal is another name for it. According to the multiplicative inverse formula, a number's product with its reciprocal is 1.

Given number for the multiplicative inverse is 146;

so, If the Multiplicative Inverse of 146 is x

then , the problem can be written as a function as follows:

146(x) = 1

Thus, to get the answer, we divide 1 by 146 like this:

Which is greater, 20·34 or 20÷34? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of 20 · 34 is 680, and the result of 20 ÷ 34 is approximately 0.588235294117647. Therefore, 20 · 34 is greater than 20 ÷ 34.The symbol "·" is used for multiplication, and the symbol "÷" is used for division. When we multiply 20 and 34, we are finding the total value of 20 items that are each worth 34. While when we divide 20 by 34, we are finding out how many times 34 can fit into 20, which is less than one.In short, Multiplication gives a bigger value than division, that's why 20*34 is greater than 20/34.

Answer:

How you can multiply 20 x 34

     34
   x20
______
     00 - 0 x 4, 0 x 3 both equal 0
+  680 - Put a 0 to the right of the number, 2 x 4 = 8, 3 x 2 = 6
______
680

34 x 20 = 680

Now, divide 20 by 34

20/34 = 10/17  

10/17 is less than 1, while 680 is much greater than 1.  

680 > 10/17

20 x 34 is greater than 20 divided by 34

Answers

The probability that a random sample of 40 adults would have a mean of at least 7 marshmallows is 0.1943

We know that the formula for the z-score:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

To find: the probability that a random sample of 40 adults would have a mean of at least 7 marshmallows.

This is nothing but the p-value of Z when X = 7

Here the number of marshmallows an adult can fit in their mouth is skewed right with a mean of 6. 5 and a standard deviation of 0. 58

So, mean μ = 6.5

standard deviation σ = 0.58

Also, n = 40,

x = 7,

By central limit theorem,

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{7-6.5}{0.58}\\\\z=\frac{0.5}{0.58}\\\\z = 0.86[/tex]

z = 0.86 has p value 0.1943

What should the dimensions of the lower floor be if the space not used for stalls is to have a volume of 2,380 cubic feet?

Answers

Dimensions of the lower floor with the given volume of 2380 cubic feet are given by : length = 34feet, width = 7feet, and height = 10 feet.

Let us consider 'y' be the width of the barn.

Lower floor with horse stall which was extends 5 feet from both the sides.

Width after having horse stall = x - 10

Barn's length is twice the barn's width

Length = 2x

Height is 7 feet less than the barn's width = x - 7

Volume = 2380 cubic feet

⇒Length × width × height = 2380

⇒ ( 2x ) (x -10 ) (x -7 ) = 2380

⇒(2x² -20x)(x-7) = 1190

⇒2x³ -34x² +140x -2380 =0

⇒ x = 17 , √70i, -√70i

x can not be imaginary.

⇒ x = 17feet ( approximately)

Required dimensions are:

Length : 2x = 34feet

what is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−1,1)(−1,1) and has a slope of 5?

Answers

Answer:

The equation of a line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Given that the line has a slope of 5 and passes through the point (-1,1) we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

The point (-1,1) can be plugged into the equation:

y - 1 = 5(x + 1)

By simplifying and re-arranging the equation, we get:

y = 5x + 6

So the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,1) and has a slope of 5 is: y = 5x + 6

Answer:

y = 5x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope-intercept form of a line

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

y = 5x+b

Substitute the point into the line.

1 = 5(-1) +b

1+5 = b

6=b

The equation is

y = 5x+6



Bowler world charges $5. 00 to rent shoes and $1. 10 per game. Lucky Spares charges $3. 00 to rent shoes and $1. 50 per game. Write a system of equations to represent the

Answers

Total cost of renting at Bowler World = $5 + $1.1x

Total cost of renting at Lucky Spares = $3 + $1.50x

The equation that can be used to determine the total cost of renting shoes at both locations is:

total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

Total cost of renting at Bowler World = $5 + $1.1x

Total cost of renting at Lucky Spares = $3 + $1.50x

Where

x = number of games played

In order to determine the number of games that would make the cost equal in both locations, the following steps would be taken:

$5 + $1.1x = $3 + $1.50x

Combine similar terms

$5 - $3 = $1.50x - $1.1x

$2 = $0.40x

Divide both sides of the equation by $0.4

x = 2 / 0.4

x = 5 games

Total cost = $5 + $1.1(5) = $5 + $5.5 = $10.50

The line of linear equation y = 8x - 48 is much steeper than the line of linear equation y = -x - 4-.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is one that has a degree of 1 as its maximum value. No variable in a linear equation, thus, has an exponent greater than 1. A linear equation's graph will always be a straight line.

The table of input and output values are given for the function.

The slope-intercept form of an equation/function is - y = mx + b

To find the slope m use the formula -

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Substituting the values in the equation -

[16 - 32]/[8 - 10]

(-16)/(-2)

8

So, the slope point is obtained as m = 8.

The equation becomes - y = 8x + b

To find the value of b substitute the values of x and y in the equation -

32 = 8(10) + b

32 = 80 + b

b = 32 - 80

b = -48

So, the value for b is -48.

Now, the equation becomes -

y = 8x - 48

A graph has been plotted for the equation.

Similarly, the points for a line is given as (-6,2) and (-9,5).

The slope-intercept form of an equation/function is - y = mx + b

To find the slope m use the formula -

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Substituting the values in the equation -

[5 - 2]/[-9 - (-6)]

(3)/(-9 + 6)

3/-3

-1

So, the slope point is obtained as m = -1.

The equation becomes - y = -x + b

To find the value of b substitute the values of x and y in the equation -

2 = -(-6) + b

2 = 6 + b

b = 2 - 6

b = -4

So, the value for b is -4.

Now, the equation becomes -

y = -x - 4

A graph has been plotted for the equation.

It is known that the larger the slope the steeper the line.

In the graph also it can be seen that the graph of line y = 8x - 48 is much steeper.

Therefore, the slope of line y = 8x - 48 is more steeper.

Answers

The estimated age of the tomb of Sneferu is 8,330 years.

The age of the tomb can be estimated using the carbon-14 decay equation, which states that the amount of carbon-14 remaining after time t (in years) is equal to the initial amount of carbon-14 multiplied by 0.5^(t/5730).The decay equation for carbon-14 is A = A₀e⁻kt, where A₀ is the original amount of carbon-14, A is the amount of carbon-14 at time t, k is the decay constant, and t is the amount of time that has passed.

We can rearrange the equation to solve for t: t = -ln(A/A₀)/k. In this equation, A is the amount of carbon-14 found in the cypress beam, and A₀ is the amount of carbon-14 found in living cypress wood.

In this case, the initial amount of carbon-14 was 100%, and the remaining amount was 55%. Solving for t, we get t = (ln(55%)/ln(0.5))*5730 = 8,330 years.

Therefore, the estimated age of the tomb of Sneferu is 8,330 years.

Find sinθ if 0 < θ < 90 and cosθ= 1/2

Answers

The sine of the angle theta is 1/2√3

How to determine the sine of the angle

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

0 < θ < 90 and cosθ= 1/2

The above parameter mean that

sin(θ) = √(1 - cos²(θ))

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

sin(θ) = √(1 - 1/2²)

This gives

sin(θ) = √(3/4)

Take the square roots

sin(θ) = 1/2√3

b. What is the probability that the boys will draw matching blocks? Is the game fair? Justify your answer.

Answers

yes it is fair The probability of drawing matching blocks is 1/3

What is probability?

A probability is a number that reflects the chance or likelihood that a particular event will occur. Probabilities can be expressed as proportions that range from 0 to 1, and they can also be expressed as percentages ranging from 0% to 100%.

The probability of drawing matching blocks is 1/3

The probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event to happen. It measures the certainty of the event. The formula for probability is given by; P(E) = Number of Favorable Outcomes/Number of total outcomes.

four main types of probability exist: classical, empirical, subjective and axiomatic. Probability is synonymous with possibility, so you could say it's the possibility that a particular event will happen.

The weights of a pack of chewing gum for a certain brand have a mean of 47. 1 grams and a standard deviation of 2. 4 grams. What is the weight of a randomly selected pack of gum that has a z-score of 3. 11?

Answers

The weight of a randomly selected pack of gum that has a z-score of 3.11, is 54.6 grams. So, the right option is D.

A Z-score can be used to calculate how much the data deviates from the mean. It shows how frequently the data is either above or below the mean. According to the formula,

Z = (X - μ)/σ

where, Z is the Z-score, X is the data point, μ is the mean and σ is the standard variable.

Z = 3.11, σ = 2.4, μ = 47.1

Z = (X - μ)/σ

Now putting the value

3.11 = (X - 47.1)/2.4

Multiply by 2.4 on both side

X - 47.1 = 3.11 X 2.4

X - 47.1 = 7.464

Add 47.1 on both side, we get

X = 54.564 grams

A number N divides each of 17 and 30 with the same remainder in each case. What is the largest value N can have?

Answers

The equivalence of the remainder following the division of 17 and 30 by N indicates that the largest value N can have is 30

What is remainder in a division operation?

The remainder term in a division of one value by a second value is the value which is less than the divisor, remaining after the divisor divides the dividend by a number of times indicated by the quotient.

The remainder following the division of 17 and 30 by the number N are the same.

Let R represent the remainder following the division of the integers 17 and 30 and let b represent the number of times N divides 30 than 17. Using the long division formula, we get;

17/N = Q + R/17

30/N = b·Q + R/17

30/N - 17/N = 13/N

The substitution property indicates that we get the following equation;

30/N - 17/N = b·Q + R/17 - (Q + R/17) = b·Q - Q

30/N - 17/N = b·Q - Q

13/N = b·Q - Q = (b - 1)·Q

13/N = (b - 1)·Q

The fraction 13/N which is equivalent to the product of (b - 1) and Q indicates that N is a factor of 13

13 is a prime number, therefore, the factors of 13 are 13 and N

Therefore, the possible values of N are 13 and 1

The largest value N can have is therefore, 13
