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.

Consider the function f(x)= (x+4)(x-2) what is the equation of the axis of symmetry
almond37 [142]

if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

\bf 0 = (x+4)(x-2)\implies \begin{cases} 0=x+4\implies &-4=x\\ 0=x-2\implies &2=x \end{cases}

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.

well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys

-4------------(-1)------------2

so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.

That's the question ?? ​
Oksanka [162]

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we answer, the area of a Circle given it radius is

a = \pi r {}^{2}

The area of a circle given it diameter is

a =  \pi( \frac{d}{2} ) {}^{2}

So let answers question 1-4.

1. The area is

1024\pi

2. The area is

576\pi

3.

1.225\pi

4.

309.76\pi

For the 5th problem, circumference is

\pi \times d

where d is the diameter and

2\pi  r

where r is the radius.

A circumference of 100 m means the radius is 50 because

2\pi \times r = 100\pi

r = 50

So this means the area is

2500 {\pi}
