James is four years younger than Austin. If three times James' age is increased by the square of Austin's age, the result is 28.

Use an algebraic solution to find the ages of James and Austin.
James is years old, and Austin is years old.

Let's use J for James's age and A for Austin's age. The equations are:

J = A - 4
3J + A² = 28

Just plug (A - 4) in the place of J in the second equation. This gives you:

3(A - 4) + A² = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 12 = 28
--> 
A² + 3A - 40 = 0
--> 
(A - 5)(A + 8) = 0
-->
A = 5 or -8

-8 is nonsense, so Austin is 5 years old. Therefore, James is 1 year old.

Find the inverse of the function. y = 2x2 –4
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The inverse function is y=\sqrt{\frac{x+4}{2}}


Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is y=2x^2-4.


This function is only invertible on the interval, x\ge 0.


To find the inverse on this interval, we interchange x and y.

x=2y^2-4


We now make y the subject to get,


x+4=2y^2


\Rightarrow \frac{x+4}{2}=y^2


\Rightarrow \pm \sqrt{\frac{x+4}{2}}=y


But the given interval is x\geq 0, This implies that, y\geq 0.


y=\sqrt{\frac{x+4}{2}}

Lyrx [107]

B. The total area painted is 864; they must buy two cans of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

A rectangle's area can be calculated by multiplying its length and its width. The wall is made up of 5 different types of rectangular walls. All walls are 8 feet tall but the length varies.

Step 2:

The area of the 20 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (20)(8) =160,

The area of the 10 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (10)(8) =80,

The area of the 5 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (5)(8) =40,

The area of the 4 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (4)(8) =32,

The area of the 15 feet long wall = (length)(width)= (15)(8) =120.

The area of all the walls = 432 square feet.

Since there are two sides for every wall, total area = 432(2)=864 square feet.

Step 3:

If one paint can covers 500 square feet,

the number of cans required to paint 864 square feet = \frac{864}{500} = 1.728 cans.

so 2 paint cans are needed to paint 864 square feet which is option B.

Answer:

a) 42°F < x < 176°F

b) The inequality graph is attached.

c) No, This is because at 20° F benzene would not be in liquid form but in solid form.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

a) For the benzene to remain in liquid form, the temperature of benzene must be less than the boiling point and greater than the boiling point. Let x be the temperature of benzene, For benzene to remain as liquid, its temperature must be between:

42°F < x < 176°F

b) The inequality graph is attached. The graph shows that the temperature of benzene must be between 42°F and 176°F so that it would be a liquid. The Closed circles represent that it is greater than 2.

c) No, This is because at 20° F benzene would not be in liquid form but in solid form. Because the temperature cannot go below 42 before it freezes, she would not have been able to conduct her research .
