Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5.5 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let D represent present age of Robert's dog and C represent present age of Karen's cat.
We have been given that Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. We can represent this information in an equation as:

We are also told that in 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. After 3 years age of dog and cat would be
and
respectively.
We can represent this information in an equation as:

From equation (1), we will get:

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

Combine like terms:





Therefore, Robert's dog is 5.5 years old right now.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a number no less then 15
let the number be x
no less then 15....means it has to be 15 or more
x > = 15 (thats greater then or equal to)
The quadratic function given by:
is in vertex form. The graph of
is a parabola whose axis is the vertical line
and whose vertex is the point
. So:
To translate the graph of a function to the right, left, upward or downward we have:

By knowing this things, we can solve our problem as follows:
FIRST.
- Translating <em>11 units to the left:</em>

- Then translating<em> 5 units down:</em>

Since the new function is fatter, the factor we need to multiply the term
<em>must be</em> less than 1, to make the graph fatter. So, according to our options, there are two factors 1/2 and 2.
<em>Therefore, the right answer is </em><em>b. f(x) = 1/2(x + 11)^2 - 5</em>
SECOND.
- Translating <em>8 units to the right:</em>

- Then translating<em> 1 unit down:</em>

As explained in the previous case, there are two factors 1/3 and 3, so we choose the first one.
<em>Therefore, the right answer is </em><em>a. g(x) = 1/3(x - 8)^2 - 1</em>
