Emile and Gertrude are brotherand sister. Emile has twice as many sisters as brothers and Gertrude has just as many brothers as sisters. How many children are there in this family?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The family has 7 children.

Step by step solution

01

Given that Emile and Gertrude are brother and sister.

Emile has twice as many sisters as brothers, and Gertrude has just as many brothers as sisters. We need to find the total number of children in the family.

02

Making the equation:

Let be the number of brothers andbe the number of sisters.

As per the question, Emile has twice as many sisters as brothers.

This means he hassisters andbrothers.

So the equation is y=2x-1鈥︹��. (1)

锘縂ertrude has as many brothers as sisters. This means she has x brothers and y-1 sisters.

So the equation is x=y-1鈥︹�︹�� (2)

Substituting y=2x-1in this equation

x=y-1x=2x-1-1x=2x-2-1x=2x-3x=3

Now

y=x+1y=3+1y=4

So, the family has 3brothers and 4 sisters.

Hence, the total number of children in the family is:

x+y=3+4=7

03

Final answer

Thus the family has 7 children.

LetS(t) be the length of the tthday of the year2013 in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), India (measured in hours, from sunrise to sunset). We are given the following values ofS(t) :


[tS(t)4711.5741227312]

For exampleS(47)=11.5, means that the timefrom sunrise to sunset on February16is11hours and30minutes. For locations close to the equator, the functionS(t) is well approximated by a trigonometric functionof the form

S(t)=a+bcos(2蟺t365)+csin(2蟺t365)

(The period is 365 days, or 1 year.) Find this approximationfor Mumbai, and graph your solution. Accordingto this model, how long is the longest day of the year inMumbai?
