Let’s say son’s age = S
Dad’s age = D
4 years ago, the son was (S-4) and dad now is three times that so D=3(S-4)
Expand that to get D=3S-12

In 12 years, the son will be (S + 12)
Dad will also be (D + 12) and he will be two times the sons age at that point so:
D + 12 = 2(S + 12)
Expand the right side:
D +12 = 2S + 24
Subtract 12 from both sides:
D = 2S + 12
So now D = 2S + 12 AND
D = 3S - 12
Since both equations equal “D”, they must then equal each other:
2S + 12 = 3S - 12
Do some algebra and you get S = 24
Plug this back into EITHER “D=“ equations to find D
D=2(24) +12
D=60

Which function is graphed below?
hoa [83]

Option B. y = 3 (one-third) Superscript x is the function that is graphed in this question.

<h3>How to solve the problem</h3>

We have exponential functions to be of the form abˣ

This can be written in the form of f(x) = 3\frac{1}{3} ^x

So it crosses through the point (0, 3).

From the way that the curve passes through the circle, we can see that the it is said to pass through at (0, 3) and approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1

Hence this would put our answer to be y = 3 (one-third) Superscript x

Can someone take 3 min for there time and help me with this please??

Since the left side of the equation says f(5), then plug in 5 for x. 

So, it is: 
              
-4|5| + 3
= -20 + 3
= 23

How do you simplify this problem?
Yuri [45]

1+tan^2(x) = sec^2(x)

sec^2(x) = 1/cos^2(x)

csc(-x) / 1/cos^2(x) =

cos^2(x) csc(-x)
