Answer:

The son is five years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be x

A man is five as old as his son, 5x

In five years, he would be three times as old as his son

In five years: son would be x+5

Father 5x+5

3(x+5)=5x+5

3x+15=5x+5

Collect like terms

15-5=5x-3x

10=2x

Divide by 2

10/2=2x/2

x=5

The son is five years old

Brady has a four square ball with a diameter of 12 inches when it is inflated what is the volume of the foursquare ball to the n

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

904.9 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are told that the ball is 12 inches in diameter

R= diamter/2= 12/2= 6 in

The volume of a sphere is given as

V= 4/3πr^3

substitute

V= 4/3*3.142*6^3

V= 4/3*3.142*216

V=2714.688/3

V=904.9 in^3

Hence the volume is 904.9 in^3

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with the given characteristics. Vertex: (-6, 1); focus: (-6, 0)

GREYUIT [131]

Answer: $(x+6)^2=-4(y-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Vertex of the parabola $(-6,1)$

Focus of the parabola $(-6,0)$

As the x coordinate of vertex and focus is same and focus lie below the vertex, therefore the parabola is the type of

$(x+6)^2=-4a(y-1)$

distance between Vertex and focus is 1 unit

$\therefore a=1$

Parabola becomes

$\Rightarrow (x+6)^2=-4(y-1)$
