Jaylen and six of her younger siblings have ages that are consecutive. When they moved from San Francisco to Chicago, their ages

(all seven of them) added up to 91. How old was Jaylen when they moved? Explain your thinking.

Answer:

Jaylen was 16 years old. She's the oldest.

Step-by-step explanation:

16  Jaylen

15  sibling 1

14  sibling 2

13  sibling 3

12 sibling 4

11  sibling 5

10  sibling 6

____________

91  Total

My thinking was that I started out dividing 91 by 7. That came out 13. So I knew the oldest one had to be older than 13.

Parabolas. Please help me
olganol [36]
  1. x² = 16 y
  2. x = 0
  3. (x + 4)² = 2/3 (y - 2)
  4. Gayle identifies that the vertex of the parabola is <u>(3, -1)</u> . The parabola opens <u>right</u>, and the focus is <u>3 </u>units away from the vertex. The directrix is <u>6 </u>units from the focus. The focus is the point <u>(6, -1)</u>. The directrix of the equation is <u>x = 0.</u>
  5. (y - 6)² = 4p (x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First figure

We plot the parabola as given in the attached diagram.

As it is facing upwards, the equation goes as x² = 4py

where, p = 4 (refer the attached diagram)

x² = 4py

x² = 4 (4) y

∴, standard form of parabola is x² = 16 y

2. Second figure

(y + 3)² = 4 (x - 1)

Comparing the given equation with the standard form

(y - k)² = 4p (x - h)

Now from this equation we get to know that

h = 1

p = 1

Directrix is x = (h - p)

So, x = 0

3. Third figure

3x² + 24x - 2y + 52 = 0

3x² + 24x = 2y - 52

3 (x² + 8x) = 2 (y - 26)

(x² + 8x) = 2 (y - 26) / 3

Adding 16 on both sides,

x² + 8x + 16 = 2 (y - 26) / 3 + 16

(x + 4)² = 2/3 y - 52/3 + 16

(x + 4)² = 2/3 y - 4/3

(x + 4)² = 2/3 (y - 2)

4. Fourth figure

(y + 1)² = 12 (x - 3)

Comparing the given equation with the standard form

(y - k)² = 4p (x - h)

Now from this equation we get to know that

k = -1

h = 3

p = 3

Gayle identifies that the vertex of the parabola is <u>(3, -1)</u> . The parabola opens <u>right</u>, and the focus is <u>3 </u>units away from the vertex. The directrix is <u>6 </u>units from the focus. The focus is the point <u>(6, -1)</u>. The directrix of the equation is <u>x = 0.</u>

5. Fifth figure

Focus = (2, 6)

Directrix is x = 4

Therefore, it follows the standard form

(y - k)² = 4p (x - h)

Directrix is given by x = h-p = 4

Focus is given by (h + p, k) = (2, 6)

Solving for (h - p) = 4, (h + p) = 2

2 - p - p = 4

-2p = 2

p = -1

Hence, h = 3

Therefore, the standard form can be written as

(y - 6)² = 4p (x - 3)

The value of y varies directly with x and y=3 when x=-6. Find y when x=1
Iteru [2.4K]
Hi, ok all you need to do is use the direct variation formula which is= y/x=y/x so you will replace your numbers by each value which get us to = 3/-6=y/1 so you cross multiply which gives us 3=-6y you divide 3 by -6 and that is the value of y, thank you for reading hope it helps ;)
