I need help with Systems of 2 equations Word Problems. Could some one help?

Answers

Answer 1

Let x be the number of children and let y be the number of adults.

We know that the total number of attendants was 147, then:

[tex]x+y=147[/tex]

We also know that each child ticket cost $4 and for each adult cost $12, and the total amount collected were $1156. Then we have:

[tex]4x+12y=1156[/tex]

Hence we have the system:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=147 \\ 4x+12y=1156 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we have to solve the system. To do that we solve the first equation for y:

[tex]y=147-x[/tex]

and we plug this value into the second equation and solve for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+12(147-x)=1156 \\ 4x+1764-12x=1156 \\ -8x=1156-1764 \\ -8x=-608 \\ x=\frac{-608}{-8} \\ x=76 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now that we have the value we can find the value of y, then:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=147-76 \\ y=71 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore there were 76 children and 71 adults.

3 sisters age combined are 57. Jenny is 6 years
older then Lynn. Kim is 5 less then twice the age of
Lynn age. What are each sisters ages

Answers

Answer: Jenny = 6 | Kim = 7 | (Unknown Sister because no name) = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny = 6 years (that we already know)

6 x 2 = 12 - 5 = 7 years for Kim

7 + 6 = 13

To find the unknown age of the last sister, we will subtract 57 - 13 = 44

So the last sister is 44.

A) graph the function: f(x) = -2^xB) domain of the function?C) range of the function?D) Equation of the asymptote?E) y-intercept of the graph?

Answers

We are given the following function:

[tex]y=-2^x[/tex]

Part A. We are asked to draw the graph of the function. This is an exponential function with a negative sign, this means that the graph is reflected across the x-axis. Therefore, the graph is:

Part B. The domain of a function is the values that the fuction can take as an input. Since the function is an exponential function, it can take any value of "x" therefore, the domain is all the real numbers, we write this as follows:

[tex]D=(-\infty,\infty)[/tex]

Part B. The range of a function is the values that the function outputs, The range of an exponential function are the values that are greater than zero, but since the given function is reflected across the x-axis, this means that the rage is the negative real numbers, therefore, the range is:

[tex]R=(-\infty,0)[/tex]

Part D. For an exponential function of the form:

[tex]y=a(b^x)[/tex]

The asymptote is x-axis, since zero is never an output of the function. Therefore the equation of the asymptote is:

[tex]y=0[/tex]

Part E. The y-intercept is the value of the function when "x = 0", therefore, substituting in the function we get:

[tex]f(0)=-2^0[/tex]

Solving the operations:

[tex]f(0)=-1[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is -1

For each scenario below, choose the graph that gives the best representation.
(a). The daily amount of calories that a rat eats increases steadily from birth to about age 3 months. Then, the amount levels off until about age 6 months, when it increases again.
(b). Jane leaves her house on her bike. She rides at a constant speed until she reaches a lemonade stand, where she parks her bike and takes a rest. Then she turns around and bikes home as fast as she can.

Answers

A) The second graph gives the best representation of the daily amount of calories consumed by the rat.

B)The fourth graph gives the best representation of Jane's journey.

The first slope of the graph represents the steady increase in the consumption of calories by the rat until the age of 3. The horizontal line represents the level off until the age of 6. The slopes after the horizontal line represent the increase in consumption of calories after age 6.

The first slope of the graph represents the steady increase in the distance from her home as she is traveling away from her home. The horizontal line that comes after the slope represents the time she rested at the lemonade stand. And the negative slope that comes after the horizontal line represents the decreasing distance to her home as she travels back to her home.

Line c has an equation of y = -5x + 3. Parallel to line c is line d, which passes through the
point (2, -6). What is the equation of line d?

Answers

Answer:

Equation of line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines have the same gradient so equation of line d is y = -5x + c.

Substitute (2,-6) into the equation to find c.

-6 = -5(2) + c

c = 4

Hence equation of line d is y = -5x + 4.

Given the right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to the hypotenuse AC. If AC=6 and DC=4, what is the length of BC in simplest radical form ?

Answers

This problem is an application of the Geometric mean theorem. It says that

[tex]\frac{6}{x}=\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Comment: In other words, it says that the length of BC (x) is the geometric mean between the lengths of AC and DC.

Then,

[tex]x^2=6\cdot4=24[/tex][tex]x=\sqrt[]{24}=2\cdot\sqrt[]{6}[/tex]

................................................................................................................................................................

Let's talk a little about the simplest radical form of a square root

[tex]\sqrt[]{a}[/tex]

The first step to finding it is to write the number within the root as a product of prime powers, such product is called its integer factorization. Let's do that for 24:

Then, the integer factorization of 24 is

[tex]24=2^3\cdot3[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\sqrt[]{24}=\sqrt[]{2^3\cdot3}[/tex]

The idea now is to take out of the root all we can. The rule is that we can only take out powers of 2 (for our root is a square root). In the expression

[tex]2^3\cdot3[/tex]

There is only one power of 2, within 2^3. We can write it as

[tex]2^2\cdot2\cdot3[/tex]

How are we going to take out it? We are going to take out the base of the power, which is 2 in this case. Then,

[tex]\sqrt[]{24}=2\cdot\sqrt[]{2\cdot3}=2\cdot\sqrt[]{6}[/tex]

In simple terms, the simplest radical form of a root is what results after taking out the root all that can be taken out.

What is the average rate of change of f(x), represented by the graph, over the interval [-1, 2]?

Answers

The estimate (to one decimal place) of the average rate of change f is 2.3

How to estimate the average rate of change f?

The interval is given as

[-1, 2]

This can be rewritten as

x = -1 to x = 2

This can also be represented as

(a, b) = (-1, 2)

From the attached graph, we have

f(-1) = -5

f(2) = 2

The estimate (to one decimal place) of the average rate of change f is

Rate = [f(b) - f(a)]/[b - a]

This gives

Rate = [f(2) - f(-1)]/[2 + 1]

So, we have

Rate = [2 + 5]/[2 + 1]

Evaluate

Rate = 2.3

Hence, the average rate of change f is 2.3

Use the point-slope form to find the equation of each altitude of SABC. (Recall ! a triangle is the perpendicular drawn from any vertex to the opposite side.) (b) A(4,3), B(0,7). C- (a) A(1, -2), B(3,4), C(-2,6)

Answers

The rule of the slope of a line has 2 points is

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

A = (1, -2), B = (3, 4), C = (-2, 6)

We will take the altitude from A to the opposite side of BC

Then we will find the slope of BC first

x1 = 3 and y1 = 4. point B

x2 = -2 and y2 = 6. point C

We will substitute them in the rule above

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{6-4}{-2-3}=\frac{2}{-5} \\ m=-\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The slope of BC = -2/5

Since the product of the slopes of the perpendicular line is -1, then if the slope of one is m, then the slope of the other will be -1/m, we reciprocal it and change its sign, then the slope of the altitude of BC should be 5/2

[tex]m_{\perp}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

The form of the equation in point-slope is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = 5/2

Since point A is lying on the altitude from A to BC, then

x1 = 1 and y1 = -2 point A

Substitute m and coordinates of point A in the form of the equation above

y - (-2) = 5/2 (x - 1)

[tex]y+2=\frac{5}{2}(x-1)[/tex]

The equation of the altitude from A to BC is

y + 2 = 5/2 (x - 1)

Answer

Options A, D and E are correct.

The two functions are increasing.

The function for plan II has a greater unit rate.

The function for plan I has a greater y-intercept.

Explanation

The slope and y-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as

y = mx + b

where

y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.

m = slope of the line.

x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.

b = y-intercept of the line.

For the first plan, there's a one time investment of 15,000 dollars and subsequent monthly payments of 500 dollars.

y = 15,000 + 500x

y = 500x + 15,000

Slope = unit rate of increase = 500

y-intercept = 15,000

For the second plan, the function is just given as

y = 12,000 + 520x

y = 520x + 12,000

Slope = unit rate of increase = 520

y-intercept = 12,000

We can see that

The two functions are increasing.

The function for plan II has a greater unit rate.

The function for plan I has a greater y-intercept.

An investment offers a total return of 17 percent over the coming year. Powell Arms thinks the total real return on this investment will be only 12 percent. What does Powell believe the inflation rate will be over the next year?

Answers

Powell believe that the inflation rate will be  4.46% over the next year .

In the question ,

it is given that

total return offered by the investment((nominal rate) = 17% = 0.17

return according to Powell Arms(real rate) = 12% = 0.12

let the inflation rate be x.

The inflation rate over the next year can be calculated using the formula .

(1+Real rate ) = (1+nominal rate )/ (1+ inflation rate )

Substituting the values , we get

(1+0.12) = (1+0.17)/(1+x)

1.12 = 1.17/(1+x)

1+x = 1.17/1.12

1 + x = 1.0446

x = 1.0466-1

x = 0.0446

Assuming an elastic collision (and ignoring friction and rotational motion), answer the following questions to find the struck ball's momentum after the collision.1. Calculate the x-component of the first ball's final momentum after the collision in kg*m/s.2. Using the conservation of momentum in the x-direction, find the struck ball's x-component of momentum.3. Calculate the y-component of the first ball's final momentum after the collision in kg*m/s.4. Using the conservation of momentum in the y-direction, find the struck ball's y-component of momentum. A ball is thrown in the air the function H = 30t-5t^2 can be used to find the height (h) of the ball in meters after t seconds. how long does it take the ball to reach a height of 45 meters?
