8 0

Answer:

13, 14, 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = age of one of the siblings

Since the age of the siblings are consecutive integers, the age of the next sibling would be x + 1 and the age of the third sibling would be x + 2

x +( x +1) + (x +2) = 42

3x + 3 = 42

collect like terms and solve for x

x = 13

The age of the first sibling is 13

The age of the second sibling is x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

The age of the third sibling is x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

102 minutes

Write g(x) = 4x2 + 88x in vertex form. The function written in vertex form is g(x) = (x +11)2 + .
romanna [79]

Answer:

y = 4(x + 11)² - 484

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x² + 88x

factor the expression

y = 4(x² + 22x)

complete the square

y + ? = 4(x² + 22x + ?)

y + ? = 4(x² + 22x + 121)

add 4 • 121 to the left side

y + 4 • 121 = 4(x² + 22x + 121)

multiply

y + 484 = 4(x² + 22x + 121)

y + 484 = 4(x + 11)²

subtract both sides by 484

y = 4(x + 11)² - 484

Examine the diagram, where BD is tangent to circle M at point D, and BA is secant to the same circle at points E and A.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

19 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the tangent segment = The product of (whole secant segment) (the outside part of the secant segment)

BD²= (BA)(BE)        

8² = (4 + x - 7) (4)             BA = BE + EB

8² = (x - 3)(4)

64 = 4x - 12

64 + 12 = 4x

76 = 4x

19 = x
