Put the number of daughters as x and number of sons as y.

For the first half of the statement:
Number of sisters any daughter has = x-1 ( because you can't be your own sibling)
Number of brothers = y

y=x-1.

For the second half:
Number of sisters any son has = x
Number of brothers any son has = y-1

3(y-1)=x

Solve as system of equations.
3y-3=x
3(x-1)-3=x
3x-3-3=x
2x=6
x=3
y=x-1=3-1=2

3 daughters and 2 sons.

Hope this helps!

Which represents the solution(s) of the graphed system of equations, y = –x2 + x + 2 and y = –x + 3? (1, 2) (1, 2) and (0, 3) (–
max2010maxim [7]
Y = -x^2 + x + 2
y = -x + 3

-x + 3 = -x^2 + x + 2
x^2 - x - 2 - x + 3 = 0
x^2 -2x + 1 = 0
(x - 1)(x - 1) = 0

x - 1 = 0      y = -x + 3
x = 1           y = -1 + 3
                   y = 2

solutions are : (1,2) , (1,2)

write a quadratic function that has a graph that contains the following points, (-2, 0), (4, -12), (5,0).
ankoles [38]

Answer:

f(x) =  2x^2 - 6x - 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2, 0) and (5, 0)  are 2 zeroes of the function so we can write the function as

f(x) =  a(x + 2)(x - 5)   where a is a constant.

Now as (4, -12) is a point on the graph:

-12 = a(4 + 2)(4 - 5)

-12 = a * 6 * -1

-6a = -12

a = 2.

So f(x) = 2(x + 2)(x - 5)

f(x) =  2x^2 - 6x - 20.
