Answer:

  • Kim is 13
  • Jack is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k represent Kim's age. Then Jack's age is k-5 and the total of their ages is ...

  k + (k -5) = 21

  2k = 26 . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms

  k = 13 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2; Kim's age

  k -5 = 8 . . . . . . . Jack's age

Kim is 13; Jack is 8.

A bakery is collecting data to investigate how changing the price charged for a loaf of bread affects the bakery’s daily profit.
RSB [31]

Considering the vertex of the graph, it is found that the quadratic function that is the best model for the data is given by:

y = -200(x - 4)^2 + 800

<h3>What is the equation of a quadratic function given it’s vertex?</h3>

The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h,k), is given by:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that the vertex is at point (4,800), hence h = 4 and k = 800.

y = a(x - 4)^2 + 800

It has a value of y = 0 at x = 6, hence:

0 = a(6 - 4)^2 + 800

a = -200

Thus, the model is:

y = -200(x - 4)^2 + 800
