The number of years past when Alan was twice Vanessa's age is 14 years.

Current ages :

  • Alan = 30 years
  • Vanessa = 22 years

<u>We can set up an equation where, x = number of years when Alan was 2 times Vanessa's age thus</u> :

30 - x = 2(22 - x)

30 - x = 44 - 2x

Collect like terms

-x + 2x = 44 - 30

x = 14

Therefore, 14 years ago, Alan's age was twice Vanessa's age.

Alan's age was twice Vanessa's age 14 years ago.

Let's represent v , as the number of years, Alan was twice as old as Vanessa

Their Current ages were given as:

Alan = 30 years

Vanessa = 22 years

Our system of equation is given as:

30 - v = 2(22 - v)

30 - v = 44 - 2v

Collect like terms

2v - v = 44 - 30

v = 14

Therefore,  Alan's age was twice Vanessa's age 14 years ago.

The equation of a parabola is given in factored form.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The parabola's axis of symmetry is x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola general equation:

y = a*(x - r1)*(x - r2)

Equation given:

y = (-1/4)*(x + 2)*(x + 10)

a = -1/4

r1 = -2

r2 = -10

To check if the parabola passes through the point (2, 10) it is necessary to replace x = 2 and check the y-value, as follows:

y = (-1/4)*(2+ 2)*(2 + 10) = -12

Then, point (2, 10) is not included in the parabola.

If a > 0 then the parabola opens upward; if a < 0 then the parabola opens downward. Then, the parabola opens downward

Axis of symmetry:

h = (r1 + r2)/2

h = (-2 + -10)/2 = -6

Then, The parabola's axis of symmetry is x = -6

To find Parabola's vertex, replace with the axis of symmetry:

y = (-1/4)*(-6 + 2)*(-6 + 10) = 4

Therefore, the parabola has a vertex at (-6, 4)
