Answer:

Jaime = 11

Sammy = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Sammy is eleven less than five times Jaime's age. Use parameter (S) to represent Sammy's age, and parameter (J) to represent Jaime's age. Form an equation based on this given information:

S = 5J - 11

It is given that the sum of the two girl's ages is (55), use an equation to represent this.

S + J = 55

Substitute in the expression for the value of (S) in terms of (J),

(5J - 11) + J = 55

Simplify,

6J - 11 = 55

Inverse operations,

6J - 11 = 55

6J = 66

J = 11

Backsolve for the value of (S), substitute in the value of (J) into the equation for (S) and solve,

S = 5(J) - 11

S = 5(11) -11

S = 55 - 11

S = 44

I’m not sure how to write this equation. Please check the picture to see the graph for yourself! Help will be much appreciated!
Makovka662 [10]

let's notice something, the parabola is a vertical one, so the squared variable is the x, and is opening downwards, meaning the x² will have a negative coefficient.

the distance from the vertex to the directrix/focus is the amount of "p" units, let's see in the graph, the distance from the vertex to the directrix is 2, and since the parabola is opening downwards, "p" is a negative 2, p = -2.  The vertex is of course at (0, 2).


\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}
\\\\
4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2
\qquad
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\  p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=0\\
k=2\\
p=-2
\end{cases}\implies 4(-2)(y-2)=(x-0)^2\implies -8(y-2)=x^2
\\\\\\
y-2=\cfrac{x^2}{-8}\implies \blacktriangleright y=-\cfrac{1}{8}x^2+2 \blacktriangleleft
