Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of each twin be x

let age of sister be s

So we can write:

x + 4 = s

The product of the 3 siblings ages is 3482 more than sum. We can write:

s*x*x=3482+(s+x+x)

This can be simplified as:

sx^2=3482+s+2x

We replace s with "x + 4" and solve:

(x+4)x^2=3482+x+4+2x\\x^3+4x^2=3486+3x\\x^3+4x^2-3x-3486=0\\x=14

<u>Note:</u> To solve this cubic, we used technology

Thus, we can say the twins are 14 years old

What is the vertex of the graph of y = 1/3 (x-9)2 + 5 Question 1 options: (9,5) (3,3) (3,5) (-9,5)
svlad2 [7]
ANSWER

The vertex of the graph of
y =  \frac{1}{3}  {(x - 9)}^{2}  + 5
is

(9,5)



EXPLANATION

The vertex form of a parabola is given by

y = a {(x - h)}^{2}  + k

where
V(h,k)
is the vertex of the parabola.


The function given to us is

y =  \frac{1}{3}  {(x - 9)}^{2}  + 5
This is already in the vertex form.


When we compare this to the general vertex form, we have,

a =  \frac{1}{3}

h = 9
and

k = 5


Therefore the vertex of the parabola is

V(9,5)

Hence the correct answer is option A.
