Step-by-step explanation:
ax^2+bx+c=0
a=leading term
ok so if the leading term is positive then opens up and has a <u>min</u>
if leading term is negative then opens down and has a <u>max</u>
leading term is positive
1x^2+8x
it has a min
to complete the square, move c aside take 1/2 of b and square it
b=8
8/2=4
4^2=16
now add that to both sides
x^2+8x+16+6=0+16
factor perfect square
(x+4)^2+6=16
subtract 6
(x+4)^2=10
subtract 10
(x+4)^2-10=0
vertex aka min or max is (h,k) when ou have
y=a(x-h)+k
h=-4
k=-10
The present age of father is 86 years old and present age of son is 48 years old
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, a father is now 38 years older than his son
Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son
Let "x" be the age of son now
Therefore, from given,
Father age now = 38 + age of son now
Father age now = 38 + x
<em><u>Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son</u></em>
Age of son ten years ago = age of son now - 10
Age of son ten years ago = x - 10
Age of father ten years ago = 38 + x - 10
Then we get,
Age of father ten years ago = twice the age of son ten years ago
38 + x - 10 = 2(x - 10)
28 + x = 2x - 20
2x - x = 28 + 20
x = 48
Thus son age now is 48 years old
Father age now = x + 38 = 48 + 38 = 86
Thus present age of father is 86 years old and present age of son is 48 years old
