Four friends were born in consecutive years. The sum of their ages is 62. What is the age of the oldest friend?

1 answer:

3 0

Since our sum is 62, and we have consecutive numbers being added, our range is most likely going to be from 10-20.
To further solve this problem easily, try finding 4 consecutive numbers with the ones place adding up to 12, 22, 32, 42, or any number that sums up to the 2 in the ones place.
Let's try 14, 15, 16, 17, since 4, 5, 6, and 7 sum up to a number with a 2 in the ones place.
14 + 15 = 29,
16 + 17 = 33.
33 + 29 is 62.
We have found the age of the friends, but we're looking for the oldest.
Our largest number is 17.
Your answer is 17 years old.
I hope this helps!

Thicknesses at different point are: <span>41, 38, 36, 29, 34, 44, 46, 43, 35, 40

In increasing order: 29, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46

Median = (38+40)/2 = 39m</span>

Median thickness is 39m

Let F(x, y, z) = (5ex sin(y))i + (5ex cos(y))j + 7z2k. Evaluate the integral C F · ds, where c(t) = 8 t , t3, exp( t ) , 0 ≤ t ≤

I'm going to assume this reads

$\vec F(x,y,z)=5e^x\sin y\,\vec\imath+5e^x\cos y\,\vec\jmath+7z^2\,\vec k$

and the path $C$ is parameterized by

$\vec c(t)=8t\,\vec\imath+t^3\,\vec\jmath+e^t\,\vec k$

with $0\le t\le1$ . Under this parameterization,

$\vec F(x,y,z)=\vec F(x(t),y(t),z(t))=5e^{8t}\sin(t^3)\,\vec\imath+5e^{8t}\cos(t^3)\,\vec\jmath+7e^{2t}\,\vec k$

and

$\mathrm d\vec c=\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec c}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt=(8\,\vec\imath+3t^2\,\vec\jmath+e^t\,\vec k)\,\mathrm dt$

Then in the integral,

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec s=\int_0^1\vec F(x(t),y(t),z(t))\cdot\frac{\mathrm d\vec c}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(7e^{3t}+15e^{8t}t^2\cos(t^3)+40e^{8t}\sin(t^3))\,\mathrm dt\approx\boxed{12586.5}$

(It's unlikely that an exact answer can be found in terms of elementary functions)

cupoosta [38]

To answer this question, an assumption must be made, that Eva spends 8 hours a day working. If this is the case, then Eva will complete jobs w, x, and v on day one, for a total of six hours. Since the next job (y) requires 4 hours, she will spend two hours working that day, leaving 2 more hours to go on that job. The next day she will spend 2 hours finishing job y, completing it, and finish the longest job z (hours) that day. This means she had 4 jobs on day one, and 2 jobs on day 2 for and average of 3 jobs per day.
This answer assumes an 8 hour work day, and that Eva can start a job she cannot finish that day.
