Akira Chang's uncle dies without a will, leaving an estate of $945,000. His heirs consist of a wife and two adult children. His

state requires that, in the absence of a will, each child is to receive two-thirds as much as a spouse. How much will his wife receive?

Let w represent the amount the wife receives.
.. w +2*(2/3*w) = 945,000
.. 7/3w = 945,000
.. w = (3/7)*945,000 = 405,000

The wife will receive $405,000.

I believe the answer would be 18,618

25,600/11= 2,327
2327*8= 18,618

Wyatt’s eye-level height is 120 ft above sea level, and Shawn’s eye-level height is 270 ft above sea level. How much farther can

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The answer is 3√5 mi.

The formula is: d = √(3h/2)

Wyatt:

h = 120 ft

d = √(3 * 120/2) = √180 = √(36 * 5) = √36 * √5 = 6√5 mi

Shawn:

h = 270 ft

d = √(3 * 270/2) = √405 = √(81 * 5) = √81 * √5 = 9√5 mi

How much farther can Shawn see to the horizon?

Shawn - Wyatt = 9√5 - 6√5 = 3√5 mi

If a(x) = 3x + 1 and b (x) = StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot, what is the domain of (b circle a) (x)?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$[1,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

$a(x)=3x+1$

Since we want to know the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ , let's first consider the domain of the inside function, that is, that of $a(x)=3x+1$ . Every polynomial function has domain all real numbers.

So we can plug anything for function $a$ and get a number back.

Now the other function is going to be worrisome because it has a square root. You cannot take square root of negative numbers if you are only considering real numbers which that is the case with most texts.

Let's find $(b \circ a)(x)$ and simplify now.

$(b \circ a)(x)$

$b(a(x))$

$b(3x+1)$

$\sqrt{(3x+1)-4}$

$\sqrt{3x+1-4}$

$\sqrt{3x-3}$

Now again we can only square root positive or zero numbers so we want $3x-3 \ge 0$ .

Let's solve this to find the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ .

$3x-3 \ge 0$

Add 3 on both sides:

$3x \ge 3$

Divide both sides by 3:

$x \ge 1$

So we want $x$ to be a number greater than or equal to 1.

The option that says this is $[1,\infty)$

-------------------------------

Give an example why option A fails:

A number in the given set is -2.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(-2)=3(-2)+1=-6+1=-5$ and $b(-5)=\sqrt{-5-4}=\sqrt{-9} \text{ which is not real}$ .

Give an example why option B fails:

A number in the given set is 0.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(0)=3(0)+1=0+1=1$ and $b(1)=\sqrt{1-4}=\sqrt{-3} \text{ which is not real}$ .

Give an example why option D fails:

While all the numbers in set D work, there are more numbers outside that range of numbers that also work.

A number not in the given set that works is 3.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(3)=3(3)+1=9+1=10$ and $b(1)=\sqrt{10-4}=\sqrt{6} \text{ which is real}$ .

Sonya and Isaac are in motorboats located at the center of a lake. At time t=0, Sonya begins traveling south at a speed of 36 mp

Rashid [163]

Answer:

the speed btn sonya and issac would make a right angled trangle hence easy 2 solve through pythogoras

${36}^{2} + {27}^{2} = 2025$

then find the

$\sqrt[?]{?}$

hence get 45

since it was 12 mins we need 2 multiply by 12

hence

$45 \times 12 = 540$

Therefore it's 540mph
