A man has three children. They are not triplets. By a remarkable coincidence, however, they were all born on the same day in different years. By another remarkable coincidence, their ages right now form a Pythagorean triple. The oldest child is nine years older than the youngest, and the middle child is two years younger than the oldest. 1. How old is the oldest?

2. How old is the middle child?

3. How old is the youngest

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.
