Answer:

5.5 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D represent present age of Robert's dog and C represent present age of Karen's cat.

We have been given that Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D=C+4...(1)$

We are also told that in 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. After 3 years age of dog and cat would be $D+3$ and $C+3$ respectively.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D+3+C+3=13...(2)$

From equation (1), we will get:

$C=D-4$

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

$D+3+D-4+3=13$

Combine like terms:

$2D+2=13$

$2D+2-2=13-2$

$2D=11$

$\frac{2D}{2}=\frac{11}{2}$

$D=5.5$

Therefore, Robert's dog is 5.5 years old right now.

A group of engineers is building a parabolic satellite dish whose shape will be formed by rotating the curve y=ax 2 about the y-

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a = $\frac{1}{2}$ . Surface Area = $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ . and area of the Dish = $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ +pi $4^{2}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ +50.27=51.6 $ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Constant. y(x) = a $x^{2}$ that is the curve that we need to rotate around the y axis to get the parabola with diameter of 8 feet and 2 meter depth that statement is translated in mathematics as x = -4 to 4 and y = 0 to 2.

y max = 2, x max = 4 setting up a equation with a unknown gives

2=a4 and a = $\frac{1}{2}$ .

so we have now.

y(x) = $\frac{1}{2}x^{2}$ (Done with solving for a Constant).

(2) Surface Area.

Setting Up surface integral.

(i) range in x = 0 to 4.

(ii) range in y = 0 to 2.

integral is.

Integral(0-2)[{integral[(0-4) $\frac{1}{32}$ $x^{2}$ ]}]dy

Evaluating this integral gives. $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ .

and area is surface area + area of the circle with 8ft diameter.

= $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ +pi $4^{2}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ +50.27=51.6 $ft^{2}$ ...

Note the Difference between area and aurface area.!

write a linear equation that intersects y=x^2 at two points. Then write a second linear equation that intersects y=x^2 at just o

Liula [17]

We know that $y = x^2$ is a parabola, concave up, with vertex in the origin $(0,0)$

So, we may use three horizontal lines for our purpose: any horizontal line above the x axis will intersect the parabola twice. The x axis itself intersects the parabola once on the vertex, while any horizontal line below the x axis won't intercept the parabola.

Here's the examples:

The horizontal line $y = 4$ intercepts the parabola twice: the system $y = x^2,\ y = 4$ is solved by $x^2=4 \implies x = \pm 2$
The horizontal line $y=0$ intercepts the parabola only once: the system is $y=x^2,\ y=0$ which yields $x^2=0\implies x=0$ which is a repeated solution
The horizontal line $y=-5$ intercepts the parabola only once: the system is $y=x^2,\ y=-5$ which yields $x^2=-5$ which is impossible, because a squared number can't be negative.
