Answer:

23 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = age of younger sibling.

Then, the age of the older sibling is x + 9.

x + x + 9 = 55

2x = 46

x = 23

Answer: 23 years old

Answer: labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate is computed as

\text{labor force participation rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total employed persons}}{\text{Total population}}

i.e. \text{labor force participation rate}= \dfrac{72000}{120000}

= 0.6\ or\ 60 \%

The unemployment rate is computed as:

\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{\text{Number of personsdon't have jobs }}{\text{Total population}}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{8000}{120000}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=0.0667\ or\ 6.67\%

Hence, labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Find the vertex and length of the latus rectum for the parabola. y=-1/2(x-2)^2+8
victus00 [196]
Y = -(1/2)(x-2)² +8
Re write it in standard form:
(y-8) = -1/2(x-2)²  ↔ (y-k) = a(x-h)²

This parabola open downward (a = -1/2 <0), with a maximum shown in vertex
The vertex is (h , k) → Vertex(2 , 8)
focus(h, k +c )
 a = 1/4c → -1/2 = 1/4c → c = -1/2, hence focus(2, 8-1/2) →focus(2,15/2)

Latus rectum: y-value = 15/2

Replace in the equation y with 15/2→→15/2 = -1/2(x-2)² + 8
Or -1/2(x-2)² +8 -15/2 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation gives x' = 3 and x" = 2, then 
Latus rectum = 5
