Answer:
51 74
Step-by-step explanation:
x = smaller
x +23 = larger
added together (x + x+23) equal to 28 less than 3x = 3x-28
x + x+23 = 3x-28 subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
23 = x -28 add 28 to both sides
51 = x then the larger = 51 + 23 = 74
What? That doesn't make sence! Any way if you mean 1997 to 2014 how many years.
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:
(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)
Solving for p, p=-1/16.
Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:
(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1
Here, we have two values of x
x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1
thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).
