A school graduation class wants to hire buses and vans for a trip to Jasper National Park. Each bus
1 answer:
Let the school hire x buses and y vans.
A bus can hold 40 students and 3 teachers.
A van can hold 8 students and 1 teacher.
The number of students riding in buses and vans is at least 400, therefore
40x + 8y ≥ 400 (1)
The number of teachers riding in buses and vans is at most 36, therefore
3x + y ≤ 36 (2)
Write (1) and (2) as
y ≥ 50 - 5x (3)
y ≤ 36 - 3x (4)
The equality portion of the solution of (3) and (4) is
36 - 3x = 50 - 5x
2x = 14
x = 7 => y = 36 - 3*7 = 15
A graph of the inequalities indicates the acceptable solution in shaded color, as shown below.
The minimum cost of renting buses and vans is
7*$1200 + 15*$100 = $9900
Answer: The minimum cost is $9,900

Answer: P(t) = 1.25.sin(.t) + 5.65
Step-by-step explanation: A motion repeating itself in a fixed time period is a periodic motion and can be modeled by the functions:
y = A.sin(B.t - C) + D or y = Acos(B.t - C) + D
where:
A is amplitude A=|A|
B is related to the period by: T =
C is the phase shift or horizontal shift:
D is the vertical shift
In this question, the motion of Pluto is modeled by a sine function and doesn't have phase shift, C = 0.
<u>Amplitude</u>:
a =
At t=0, Pluto is the farthest from the sun, a distance 6.9 billions km away. At t=66, it is closest to the star, P(66) = 4.4 billions km. Then:
a =
a = 1.25
<u>b</u>
A time period for Pluto is T=66 years:
66 =
b =
<u>Vertical</u> <u>Shift</u>
It can be calculated as:
d =
d =
d = 5.65
Knowing a, b and d, substitute in the equivalent positions and find P(t).
P(t) = a.sin(b.t) + d
P(t) = 1.25.sin(.t) + 5.65
The Pluto's distance from the sun as a function of time is
P(t) = 1.25.sin(.t) + 5.65
