Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: 7

Discussion:

Let "x" be Kevin's current age. From the probel statement:

x + 56 = 9x.

Subtract "x" from each side:

(x-x) + 56 = 9x -x or

0 + 56 = 8x. Divide each side by 8:

56/8 = x or

7 = x

Thank you,

MrB

He is currently 47.

56-9=47 and if you switched it around it would be 47+9=56 so the answer is 47.

Suppose the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 has no real solution and a graph of the related function has a vertex that lies in the second q

Veseljchak [2.6K]

If it has no real solutions, that means the graph does not intersect the x axis

since we have ax^2+bx+c=0, the parabola opens either up or down
since the vertex is in the second quadrant (x is negative and y is positive in this reigon) and the graph does not cross the x axis, the parabola must open up
if the value of 'a' is positive, then the parabola opens up

so 'a' must be positive

if it is translated to the 4th quadrant, then the vertex is now below the x axis
it will now have 2 x intercepts because the vertex is in the 4th quadrant and look at a graph of a parabola opening up with vertex in 4th quadrant and seehow many time it crosses the x axis

Solve system by graphing 2x-6y=12 x+y=2

astraxan [27]

First get y by its self , then graph , find intersection point and plug in x and y to both equations, see if it makes sense , then the solution must be you intersection point

Which function is equivalent to the inverse of y=sec(x)

kipiarov [429]

From the identity:

$sec(x)= \frac{1}{cos(x)}$

$f(x)=sec(x)= \frac{1}{cos(x)}$

the inverse of f is g such that f(g(x))=x,

we must find g(x), such that $\frac{1}{cos[g(x)]}=x$

thus, $cos[g(x)]= \frac{1}{x}$

$g(x)=cos^{-1} (\frac{1}{x})$

Answer: b. g(x)=cos^-1(1/x)
