Answer:

  • now: daughter: 13, mother: 39
  • then: daughter: 26, mother: 52

Step-by-step explanation:

If the daughter's age is 1/3 the mother's age, the difference in their ages is ...

  1-1/3 = 2/3

the mother's age. The daughter's age is half that (1/3 the mother's age), so the daughter's age is 26/2 = 13 years. The mother's age is 13+26 = 39 years, which is 3 times the daughter's age.

The daughter is 13 now; the mother is 39.

__

When the mother is twice as old, the daughter's age will be equal to their age difference: 26. The mother's age will be 26 +26 = 52

When the mother is twice as old, she will be 52, and the daughter will be 26.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can assign variables and write equations that will give you the same result. If you let d and m represent the daughter's age and the mother's age, respectively, you could write the system ...

  m = d +26

  d = m/3

Substituting for d, you get ...

  m = m/3 +26

  2/3m = 26 . . . . . . subtract m/3

Note that this is the relationship we came to in the discussion above.

__

When an age difference is given, you know it will remain the same throughout the problem. Everybody ages at the same rate, so the difference is constant. As we have done above, it is often useful to compare the age difference to the difference in ratio units. This tells you the size of a ratio unit.

Given: ABCD is a trapezoid, AC ⊥ CD AB = CD, AC=the square root of 75 , AB = 5 Find: AABCD
Ugo [173]

In this attached picture according to the conditions of the problem we have an isosceles trapezoid and since we know that legs are equal (AD=BC=5 cm), we have to calculate bases and height in order to find the area. Working with the triangle BCD, we apply Pythagoras theorem and find that CD = \sqrt{75+25} = 10 cm. Since BDC is a right triangle, applying theorem for the area of triangles, we find that \frac{1}{2} * BF =  \frac{1}{2} * 5 * \sqrt{75} and BF= 0.5\sqrt{75}. Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, triangles ADE and BFC are congruent with Angle Side Angle theorem. Then, DE=FC and with the help of Pythagoras theorem, DE=FC=2.5 cm. Then, AB=EF=5 cm and the area of the trapezoid is  A= BF *  \frac{AB+CD}{2} = 0.5  \sqrt{75}  * \frac{5+10}{2} = 18.75 \sqrt{3}   cm^{2}

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of the function y = 4x^2 + 5x – 1.
just olya [345]

Answer:

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -\frac{5}{8}

The coordinates of the vertex are ( -\frac{5}{8} , -2\frac{9}{16} ) ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function y = ax² + bx + c is represented graphically by a parabola which has a minimum/maximum vertex (h , k), where

  • h = -\frac{b}{2a} and k is value y at x = h
  • The axis of symmetry of the parabola is a vertical line passes through the vertex point and its equation is x = h
  • The minimum/maximum value of the function is (h , k)

∵ y = 4x² + 5x - 1

∵ The form of the quadratic function is y = ax² + bx + c

∴ a = 4 , b = 5 , c = -1

∵ The coordinates of the vertex points are (h , k)

∵ h = -\frac{b}{2a}

∴ h = -\frac{5}{(2)(4)}=-\frac{5}{8}

- To find k substitute x in the function by -\frac{5}{8}

∵ k = 4 ( -\frac{5}{8} )² + 5( -\frac{5}{8} ) - 1

∴ k = 4 ( \frac{25}{64} ) + ( -\frac{25}{8} ) - 1

∴ k =  \frac{25}{16}  - \frac{25}{8}  - 1

∴ k = -2\frac{9}{16}

∴ The coordinates of the vertex are ( -\frac{5}{8} , -2\frac{9}{16} )

∵ The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = h

∵ h = -\frac{5}{8}

∴ The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -\frac{5}{8}
