Answer:

Nancy is 6 years old and Stan is 11 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Stan be x.

Then age of Nancy = y

x - y = 5

Last year she was twice as young as he was

Age of Nancy last year = y-1

Age of Stan last year = x-1

2 × (y-1)= x-1

2y -2 = 5 + y -1

y = 6

x = y + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Nancy is 6 years old and Stan is 11 years old now.

HELP PLEASE I need help
cricket20 [7]
In an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal to each other. So, we know that the third side is either 6 or 15 inches.

If the third side is 6 inches, it would not make a triangle. The sum of any to sides of a triangle must be larger than the third side. However, 6+6 is LESS than 15, so 6 inches would not be the answer.

By process of elimination, the third side is 15 inches. Good luck!

Which equation matches the graph shown?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

f(x) = -(x+2)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the zeros are at 1 and -2

f(x) = a *(x-b1)(x-b2)  where b1 and b2 are the zeros and a is a constant

f(x) =a(x-1)(x- -2)

f(x) =a(x-1)(x+2)

We know that a must be negative since the parabola opens down so

The only choice is choice D where a = -1

f(x) = -(x+2)(x-1)
