Answer:

There were 169 children at the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people = 550

Price per child = $1.75

Price per adult = $2.25

Total cost of the admission receipts = $1153.00

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

As per question:

Total number of people is equal to total children and total adults. So,

x+y=550-----------(1)

Total cost of admission is equal to the sum of cost of total children and total adults. So,

1.75x+2.25y=1153-----------(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 1.75 and subtracting the result equation from equation (2). This gives,  

1.75x+1.75y=962.5\\\\\\1.75x+2.25y=1153\\1.75x+1.75y=962.5\\(-)\\-------------\\0.5y=190.5\\\\y=\frac{190.5}{0.5}=381

So, there were 381 adults at the pool. Now, the number of children is equal to:

x=550-y=550-381=169

Therefore, there were 169 children at the pool.

Valentin [98]

Answer: (a) e ^ -3x (b)e^-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

I suggest the equation is:

d/dx[integral (e^-3t) dt

First we integrate e^-3tdt

Integral(e ^ -3t dt) as shown in attachment and then we differentiate the result as shown in the attachment.

(b) to differentiate the integral let x = t, and substitute into the expression.

Therefore dx = dt

Hence, d/dx[integral (e ^-3x dx)] = e^-3x

MrRa [10]

Answer:

1750 + 35x ≥ 3250

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed = 35 words

He has already typed 1500 words on his final paper

The paper must be more than 3250 words.

To find at least how many more words he has to type, we will subtract 1500 from 3250

3250 - 1500 = 1750 words

The equation will be 35x ≥ 1750

x is the number of minutes

The equation could be

1750 + 35x ≥ 3250

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 25 feet long The height of the right triangle is shrinking at a rate of 1 ft/week. What is
Lesechka [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  increasing 7/24 ft per week

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.

If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...

  b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)

Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...

  b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))

When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24

The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.
