Answer:

28 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Adena, Julius, and Tia volunteered to read to children at the public library.

Let us represent, the number of hours worked by

Adena = x

Julius = y

Tia = z

Julius worked two hours less than Tia.

y = z - 2

z = y + 2

Adena worked twice as many hours as Julius.

x = 2y

Altogether they worked 58 hours.

x + y + z = 58.... Equation 1

We substitute 2y for x and y + 2 for z in Equation 1

2y + y + y + 2 = 58

4y + 2 = 58

Collect like terms

4y = 58 - 2

4y = 56

y = 56/4

y = 14

We are the find the number of hours Adena worked which is represented by x

Note that:

x = 2y

y = 14, hence,

x = 2 × 14

x = 28 hours

Therefore, the number of hours Adena worked is 28 hours

The graphs below have the same shape. What is the equation of the red graph?
Sveta_85 [38]

we have

g(x)=4-x^{2}

the vertex of the function g(x) is the point (0,4)

the vertex of the function f(x) is the point (0,0)

so

the rule of the translation of g(x) to f(x) is

(x,y)------> (x,y-4)

that means

the translation is 4 units down

therefore

the equation of the function f(x) is

f(x)=g(x)-4\\f(x)=(4- x^{2})-4 \\f(x)=- x^{2}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

f(x)=- x^{2}
