Answer:

The answer to your question is there were 88 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total number of people = 188

total cost = $5040

12 more adults than seniors

number of children = ?

adults = a

children = c

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

             a + c = 188              Equation l

             a = c + 12                 Equation ll

2.- Solve by substitution. Substitute equation equation ll in equation l

           (c + 12) + c = 188

-Solve for c

            c + 12 + c = 188

            2c + 12 = 188

            2c = 188 - 12

            2c = 176

              c = 176 / 2

              c = 88

3.- Conclusion

There were 88 children

Lenmana started studying how the number of branches on her tree grows over time. The number of branches increases by a factor of
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

N(t) = 48 * 11/6^{\frac{t}{3.5} }

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for <u>exponential growth</u> is y = ab^x.

To write this equation, we know it has to start with 48 (which is the variable a). We need to add the rate of growth. This is 11/6 (which is variable b). But we also need to account for the "every 3.5 years" part, so divide the x as an exponent by 3.5.

N(t) = 48 * 11/6^(t/3.5)

This equation is easy to test, and it's a good idea to test it after you write it. For example, after 3.5 years we know that it should have 48*11/6 branches. Does our equation work? Yes.

Tju [1.3M]
The answer is b.

A is in the negatives, and there are no negative years.

B works ; it starts at 150, is positive, and slowly reaches 300

C is exponential and goes to fast.

D starts at 0 not 150

So the answer is b.

Hope this helps!

marin [14]

The nut lands first on gorund

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds

Given that,

A squirrel is 24 feet up in a tree and tosses a nut out of the tree with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second

<em><u>The nuts height, h, at time t seconds can be represented by the equation:</u></em>

h(t) = -16t^2 + 8t+24

-16t^2 + 8t+24 = 0\\\\-2t^2 + t + 3 = 0\\\\2t^2 - t-3=0\\\\Split\ the\ middle\ term\\\\2t^2 + 2t-3t -  3 = 0\\\\Break\ the\ expression\ into\ groups\\\\(2t^2 + 2t) -(3t+3) = 0\\\\2t(t+1) -3(t+1) = 0\\\\(t+1)(2t-3) = 0\\\\Therefore,\\\\t + 1 = 0\\\\t = -1\\\\2t-3=0\\\\2t = 3\\\\t = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5

time cannot be negative, so ignore t = -1

Thus the nut takes 1.5 seconds to reach ground

From given,

The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds

Therefore, the nut lands first on gorund
