Answer:

Kelly: 4

Sister: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x=kelly's age

y=sister's age

x+y=44

x=y-8

(y-8)+y=44

2y-8=44

2y=36

y=12

x=12-8

x=4

Answer:

The left end approaches to + Infinite being an exponential function, and the right end to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to remember the exponential function, the best way to find the answer is plotting the graph or arranging a table of values.

As you can see in the attached graph the y axis gets closer and closer to 0 as it moves forward in the x axis, and as it moves to the left the y axis starts increasing rapidly.

Also you got to keep in mind the way that functions behave in terms of the sign of its variable. for example the 10 in this equation only makes the curve to get wider, but if you change the sign to minus, the answer would be different.

I have no idea how to do this stuff.

Answer: y=2x^{2}-5x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation in its standard form is:

y=ax^{2}+bx+c

Now, we are given 5 points of the parabola (if you graph a quadratic equation you will have a parabola), however we only need to choose three points to find the coeficients a, b and c in the quadratic equation.

So, let's choose the first three points:

(-1,14):

14=a(-1)^{2}+b(-1)+c

14=a-b+c (1)

(0,7):

7=a(0)^{2}+b(0)+c

7=c (2)

(1,4):

y=2x^{2}-5x+7

4=a(1)^{2}+b(1)+c

4=a+b+c (3)

Substituting (2) in (1) and (3):

14=a-b+7 (4)

4=a+b+7 (5)

At this point we have a system with two equations.

Adding (4) to (5):

18=2a+14 (6)

Isolating a:

a=2 (7)

Substituitng (7) in (3):

4=2+b+7 (8)

Isolating b:

b=-5 (9)

Now we have the three coeficients and we can write the quadratic equation:

y=2x^{2}-5x+7

A rectangle has a perimeter of 116 centimeters and a length of 26 centimeters what is the width of the rectangle
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The width of the rectangle=32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Perimeter of rectangle, P=116 cm

Length of rectangle, l=26 cm

We have to find the width of the rectangle.

We know that

Perimeter of rectangle, P=2(l+b)

Where l=Length of rectangle

b=Width of rectangle

By using the formula

116=2(26+b)

\frac{116}{2}=26+b

58=26+b

58-26=b

32=b

Hence, the width of the rectangle=32 cm

BabaBlast [244]

There are 4 different outcomes.

Only one of the numbers is a 2, so you could get a 2 once out of 4 possibilities.

The probability of getting a 2, would be :

Ratio: 1/4

Decimal = 0.25

Percent: 25%
