First, let us define our variables.

Let

x = age of the father

y = age of the son

z = age of the daughter

 

5 years ago..

(x – 5) = age of the father

(y – 5) = age of the son

(z – 5) = age of the daughter

 

After 18 years...

(x + 18) = age of the father

(y + 18) = age of the son

(z +18) = age of the daughter

 

From the first condition

y = z + 5 à eqn 1

5 years ago

(x-5) = 23 + (y-5) + (z-5)

x –y –z = 18 à eqn 2

after 18 years

(x+18) = 17*[(y +18 –z – 18)]

x – 17y + 17z = -18 à eqn 3

 

solving the 3 equations simultaneously

x = 67

y = 27

z = 22

The graph shows f(x)=(1/2)and its translation, g(x).
san4es73 [151]

The translation of four units up describes the transform function g(x) option first is correct.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

The question is incomplete.

The question is:

The graph shows f(x)=(1/2)ˣ and its translation, g(x).

Which describes the translation of f(x) to g(x)?

  • Translation of four units up
  • Translation of five units up
  • Translation of four units to the right
  • Translation of five units to the right

The graph is attached please refer to the picture.

We have the equation of the function f(x):

\rm f(x) = (\dfrac{1}{2})^x

From the graph, we can see the graph of the function f(x) is shifted up 4 units because the y-intercept of the graph g(x) is (0, 5)

g(x) = f(x) + 4

\rm g(x) = (\dfrac{1}{2})^x + 4

Thus, the translation of four units up describes the transform function g(x) option first is correct.

Shannon feeds her cat twice a day. In the morning, she feeds her cat one can of cat food. In the evening, she feeds her cat one
saul85 [17]

Each can of cat food holds <u>4 ounces</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall assign the ounces of one can as; x

Since the cat is fed  1 can in the morning and 1 and ½ cans in the evening, then the cat eats;

x + ³/2 x ounces per day

This is also equal to 10 ounces

x + ³/2 x = 10

⁵/2 x = 10

x = 10 * ²/5

x = 4

= 4 ounces
