Let the age of the youngest child (Ben) be x years.
Since the ages are consecutive integers, the ages of the other 2 are (x + 1) and (x + 2).
It was given that the age of the youngest child is four more than eight times the age of the oldest child. This means that:
[tex]x^2-4=8(x+2)[/tex]We can rearrange the equation above and solve for x as a quadratic equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2-4=8x+16 \\ x^2-8x-20=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Using the factorization method, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2-10x+2x-20=0 \\ x(x-10)+2(x-10)=0 \\ (x-10)(x+2)=0 \\ \therefore \\ x-10=0,x+2=0 \\ x=10,x=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the age cannot be negative, the age of the youngest child is 10.
Therefore, the ages are:

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

Given:
[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]Let's find g(x).
From the given graph, we can see the graph of g(x) is compressed horizontally from f(x).
Thus, to find g(x) aply the transformation rules for function.
We have:
Horizontal compression of b units ==> f(bx)
Given the point on g(x):
(x, y) ==> (2, 12)
Let's solve for the value of the compressed factor.
We have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 12=b(2)^2 \\ \\ 12=b4 \\ \\ \text{Divide both sides by 4:} \\ \frac{12}{4}=\frac{b4}{4} \\ \\ 3=b \\ \\ b=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]This means the graph of f(x) was compressed horizontally by a factor of 3 to get g(x).
Thus, to write the function for g(x), we have:

A matrix being in row echelon form means that Gaussian elimination has operated on the rows.
A matrix is in reduced row echelon form (also called row canonical form) if it satisfies the following conditions:
- It is in row echelon form.
-The leading entry in each nonzero row is a 1 (called a leading 1).
-Each column containing a leading 1 has zeros in all its other entries.
The matrix presented on the problem satisfies all conditions, therefore, the matrix is indeed in reduced row-echelon form.
To find the area of a shape region:Find the area of the entire region:Fimd the area of the unshaded region(s)Subtract the area of the unshape region from the area of the entire region
IN order to find the area of the shaded region, proceed as follow:
calculate the area of the right triangle:
A = b·h/2
A = (21 yd)(34 yd)/2 = 357 yd²
next, calculate the area of the circle:
A' = π r²
A' = (3.1415)(7 yd)² = 153.93 yd²
next, subtract the area of the circle to the area of the rectangle:
AT = A - A' = 357 yd² - 153.93 yd²
AT = 203.07 yd²
Hence, the area of the shaded region is 203.07 yd²

The students of a school were asked to participate in a competition for making and decorating penholders in the shape of a cylinder with a base, using cardboard.Each penholder was to be radius of 3cm and height 10.5 cm. The school was to supply the competitors with cardboard. If there were 35 competitors, how much cardboard was required to be brought for the competition. Assume: pi = 22/7
Recall the surface area for the following figures.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Cylinder}=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2 \\ \\ \text{The term }2\pi r^2\text{ includes a cover both the top and bottom of the cylinder} \\ \text{Since we will be using only the bottom modify the formula such that it only} \\ \text{includes the bottom part} \\ \\ \text{Pen Holder Surface Area}=2\pi rh+\pi r^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Given that

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times1.7\operatorname{cm}\times2\operatorname{cm}=1.7\operatorname{cm}^2[/tex]Hence, two triangles and three squares have a total area of

Quadrilateral PQRS is plotted in the coordinate plane. The quadrilateral is dilated by a scale factor of 3/4. What are the new ordered pairs for P'Q'R'S'?

Like wise the two widths are equal.
length PQ = length SR = 2
Length QR = length PS = 4
Scale factor = 3/4
Scale factor = corresponding side of new image/ corresponding side of original image
PQRS = original image, P'Q'R'S' = new image
3/4 = P'Q'/PQ
3/4 = P'Q'/2
P'Q' = 2(3/4) = 6/4 = 3/2
Since P'Q' = S'R'
S'R' = 3/2
3/4 = Q'R'/QR
3/4 = Q'R'/4
Q'R' = 3/4 (4) = 12/4 = 3
Since Q'R' = P'S
P (5, 5), Q (3, 5), R (3, 1), S (5, 1)
PQRS to P'Q'R'S' = 3/4(
P' = 3/4 (5, 5) = (15/4, 15/4)
Q' = 3/4 (3, 5) = (9/4, 15/4)
R' = 3/4 (3, 1) = (9/4, 3/4)
S' = 3/4 (5, 1)

0.5 % of 36 , which means,
100 % refers to 36, then
0.5 % refers to what, thus, by cross multiplication we get,
0.5 % of 36 = [tex]\frac{0.5 X 36}{100}[/tex] = 0.18 ___(1), which can be expressed in whole numbers as 0.
Now, 30 % of 10 means,

30 % refers to what, thus, by cross multiplication we get,
30 % of 10 = [tex]\frac{30 X 10}{100}[/tex] = 3 __(2)
From equations (1) and (2),

The margin of error of a z-confidence interval is given by: [tex]$M=z \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$$[/tex]
The margin of error of a z-confidence interval is 142.945936.
How to estimate the margin of error?The margin of error of a z-confidence interval exists given by:
[tex]$M=z \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$$[/tex]
Where, z is the critical value.
[tex]$\sigma$[/tex] be the population standard deviation.
n is the sample size.
The first step is finding the critical value, which exists z with a p-value of [tex]$\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$[/tex] in which [tex]$\alpha$[/tex] is the confidence level.
In this problem, [tex]$\alpha[/tex] = 0.95, therefore, z with a p-value of 1 + 0.95 / 2 = 0.975, which means that it is z = 1.96.
The population standard deviation exists of 12.2 meters, thus [tex]$\sigma[/tex] = 12.2.
We want a width of 5 , thus a margin of error of M = 2. Therefore, we have to simplify the equation for the margin of error for n.
Let the equation be [tex]$M=z \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$$[/tex]
substitute the values in the above equation, we get
[tex]$2=1.96 \frac{12.2}{\sqrt{n}}$[/tex]
[tex]$2 \sqrt{n}=1.96(12.2)$[/tex]
simplifying the above equation, we get
[tex]$\sqrt{n}=\frac{1.96(12.2)}{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$(\sqrt{n})^2=\left(\frac{1.96(12.2)}{2}\right)^2$[/tex]
n = 142.945936
Therefore, the value of n = 142.945936.

5x + 2y = -12 (a)
3y + 5x =-8 (b)
First, write (b) in the ax+by=c form:
5x + 3y = -8 (b)
Now, subtract (b) to (a) to eliminate x
5x + 2y = -12

-y = -4
solve for y:
Multiply both sides by -1
