The present age of father is 35 and daughter is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Age of father = x

Age of daughter = y

According to given statement;

A man is 5 times older than his daughter.

x = 5y      Eqn 1

In 7 years, the man is 3 times as old as his daughter.

x+7 = 3(y+7)

x+7=3y+21\\x=3y+21-7\\x=3y+14\ \ \ Eqn\ 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

3y+14=5y\\14=5y-3y\\14=2y\\2y=14

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{14}{2}\\y=7

Putting y=7 in Eqn 1

x=5(7)\\x=35

The present age of father is 35 and daughter is 7.

Write the standard equation of a circle with center (−9, −4) and radius 5
defon

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

here (h, k) = (- 9, - 4) and r = \sqrt{5} ⇒ r² = (\sqrt{5})² = 5

(x + 9)² + (x + 4)² = 5 → A
