Let amanda's age be x and her dad's age be y.

Amanda’s dad is twice as old as she,  therefore 2x=y

The sum of their ages is 66, therefore x+y=66

x+y=66

2x=y,

substitute.

2x+x=66

3x=66

Divide.

x=22.

plug it back in, 22+y=66, y=44.

Amanda's age is 22 and her dad's age is 44.

For the function
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic function f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, the axis of symmetry is

x=-\frac{b}{2a}.

This comes from using part of the Quadratic Formula for finding zeros of the function:

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} = \frac{-b}{2a} \pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

See the -b/(2a) in the first term?  That's the x-coordinate of the vertex (turning point) of the parabolic graph of the function.  The axis of symmetry goes through the vertex.

Which statement are true
Ket [755]

Answer:

  • Line XY contains ray OX and ray OY
  • Line XY contains segment YX
  • Ray YX exists in the diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

A ray can be named by any pair of points on an infinite line. Point O, X, and Y on the same line can be used to name rays OX, OY, XY, YX, OY, and XO. The first point named is the end point of the ray. The ray goes through the other point and continues indefinitely.

BA can be the name of a line segment, but not a ray. The line shown does not extend from point B beyond point A.

Any segment can be named by its end points in either order.

So, we have ...

  • Line XY contains ray OX and ray OY
  • Line XY contains segment YX
  • Ray YX exists in the diagram
