Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Juan be x

Let the age of Gabe be y

Let the age of catherine be z

The sum of their ages is 149, then;

x+y+z = 149

If Juan is three times as old as Gabe, then;

x = 3y .....2

If Gabe is six years older than Catherine, then;

y = z + 6

z = y-6 ....3

Substitute 2 and 3 into 1;

From 1; x+y+z = 149

3y+y+y-6 = 149

5y = 149+6

5y = 155

y = 31

Since x = 3y

x = 3*31

x = 93

If z = y-6

z = 31-6

z = 25

Hence Juan is 93 years old

Gabe is 31 years old

Catherine is 25 years old

Find the intercepts.<br> . (-1,5) and (-3,-5)
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

x-intercept: (-2, 0), y-intercept: (0, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the equation of this line. The formula to find the slope is:(y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Substituting the real numbers for this formula, (5-(-5))=10, (-1-(-3)=2. 10/2=5.

This means that the slope of this line is 5.

To find the complete equation for this line, we just need to plug in the x-value and add whatever needs to be added to attain the y-value. (You can plug in any x-value/y-value available.)

5=5(-1)+?

-5+<u>10</u>=5.

The complete equation for this line is y=5x+10.

From here, the y-intercept is easy, because the number after the coefficient and variable (5 and x) are before the y-intercept (in standard form). The <em><u>y-intercept is (0, 10)</u></em> because if you plug in 0 for the x-value, you will get 10 as your y-value.

On the other hand, if you plug in 0 for your y-value and solve it out, you will get the x-intercept.

0=5x+10

-10=5x

x=-2

So the <em><u>x-intercept is (-2, 0)</u></em>.

Why is it valid to say that both a function and its inverse describe the same relationship
liberstina [14]
A comparison between a function and its inverse would show that the domain and range of the original function swap. The domain of the function becomes the range of the inverse, the range of the function becomes the domain of its inverse. 

Looking at ordered pairs of the function and its inverse would look like this:

(2,4) on the original function becomes (4,2) on the inverse. 

While the graph of a function and its inverse are noticeably different an important thing to note is that it is merely a reflection across the line y=x. 

So even though they appear different you are looking at the same relationship just as y vs. x instead of x vs. y
