Five years from now a father's age will be three times his son's age and 5 years ago he was seven times as old as his son was. what are their present ages?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Let's say the son is x years old now,
In five years time, he will be (x+5) years old
The father's age in five years time is 3(x+5)
The son's age five years ago was x-5
The father's age five years ago was 7(x-5)
Five years ago and five years from now are 10 years apart. This means that the father's age five years from now is 10 years more than his age five years ago
7(x-5)+10=3(x+5)
7x-35+10=3x+15
7x-3x=15-10+35
4x=40
x=10
The boy is currently 10 years old
The father will be 3(x+5) in five years time=45
So the father is currently 40 years old

sqrt (53) = 10 * sqrt (0.53)

0.53 = 64/121
sqrt (0.53) = sqrt (64)/ sqrt (121) = 8/11 = 0.7273
Therefore sqrt (53) = 10 * 0.7273 = 7.27

sqrt (108) = 10 * sqrt (1.08)
sqrt (1.08) = sqrt (676/625) = 26/25 = 1.04
Therefore sqrt (108) = 10 * 1.04 = 10.4

sqrt (128) = 10 * sqrt (1.28)
sqrt (1.28) = sqrt (289/225) = 17/15 = 1.133
Therefore sqrt (108) = 10 * 1.133 = 11.33

why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller

Answers

Because in fractions you are taking away. For example: if you multiply 1/2 times 1/2, you are taking 1/2 away from that original half, but with whole nombers you are increasing the value. For exapmle: if you multiply 2 times 2, it will give you more.
