Let the current age of the son be x years and the father's age be (45 - x) years. Five years ago, the son was (x - 5) years old and the father was (40 - x) years old and four times older than the son, giving the equation: 40 - x = 4(x - 5). Solving, 40 - x = 4x - 20, 60 = 5x, so x = 12. Therefore, the son is 12 years old and the father is 33 years old .

Assume sqrt(2) is rational, so it can be expressed as a/b, where a and b are integers with no common factors and b ≠ 0. Then 2 = a^2/b^2 or a^2 = 2b^2. Therefore, a^2 is even, implying a is even. Let a = 2k, thus 4k^2 = 2b^2 or b^2 = 2k^2 meaning b is even too, contradicting the assumption of a/b being in the lowest terms. Hence, sqrt(2) is irrational .

First, find the external point from which to draw the tangents. Measure a distance R + d from the circle's center, where 'R' is the circle's radius 4 cm and 'd' is any distance greater than R. From the external point, draw two lines that meet the circle at 90 degrees—the length of each tangent will be determined by the Pythagorean theorem: (tangent length)^2 = (distance from point to center)^2 - (radius)^2 .

The slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + c, where 'm' is the slope, shows that the slope is the coefficient of x. Hence, for y = 3x + 4, the slope is 3. This interprets as a rise of 3 units for every unit increment in x .

Identify the number that appears most frequently within the data set. Here, the number '3' appears three times, which is more frequent than any other number, making it the mode .

Use factoring, setting the equation to (x-2)(x-3) = 0. Solving gives x = 2 or x = 3. This approach works because the equation can be easily expressed as a product of two binomials .

Start by isolating x. Subtract 3 from both sides, resulting in 2x = 8. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x, giving x = 4 .

Apply the area formula for a circle: Area = πr². So, 154 = (22/7)r². Multiply both sides by 7/22 to solve for r², giving r² = 49. Hence, r = sqrt(49) which is 7 cm .

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its variable, indicating its most significant term. For the polynomial 5x^3 - 2x^2 + 7, the degree is 3 because the term 5x^3 has the highest exponent. This information is crucial for understanding the behavior and solutions of polynomial equations .

The intersection operation highlights common elements between sets. For A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {3, 4}, the intersection is {3}, showing which elements are shared. This concept is pivotal in various applications including probability and logic .
