Answer:
I don't see any statements here.
Anyway, the answer is 8.
I would start by setting up a chart like I did below.
Label one column age now and the other age in 5 years.
Since we don't know the son's age we use x.
We do know that the man's age is 4 times the son's age.
So the man's age will be 4x.
In the age in 5 year column, we add 5 to their current ages.
Now set up our equation.
Since it says "in five years" we use information in second column.
In 5 years time, he, "4x + 5", will be, equals,
3 times as old as his son, "3(x + 5)".
So we have 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5).
Solving from here, we find that x = 10.
So the son is 10 and the man is 4 times his age or 40.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
we have the points
(-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2)
Plot the points
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
The graph of a quadratic function must be a vertical parabola open upward
The vertex is a minimum
The quadratic function in general form is equal to
Substitute the value of x and the value of y of each given ordered pair in the general equation and solve for a,b and c
(0,2)
For x=0, y=2
substitute
(-1,0)
For x=-1, y=0
substitute
---->
----> equation A
(-2,0)
For x=-2, y=0
substitute
----> equation B
we have the system
----> equation A
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
solve for b
Find the value of a
therefore
The quadratic function in general form is equal to
see the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem
