cot x = cos x / sin x
cot x = .85 / .52 = 1.6346
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's first set up some variables</u>:
- c: # of children
- a: # of adults
<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>
- Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds
⇒ average child is 75 pounds
⇒ average adult is 150 pounds
⇒<em> therefore</em>: 
- Elevator can fit no more than 14 people
⇒ <em>therefore</em>: 
<u>Let's graph the equations</u>:

⇒ look at the image attached
<u>The point at which the two graphs intersect:</u>
⇒ <em>is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and </em>
<em> their combine weight</em>
<em />
<u><em>With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults</em></u><em>:</em>
<em> ⇒ the </em><em>solution is 8 children and 6 adults</em>
<em></em>
<u>Answer: 8 children and 6 adults</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helped!

Answer:
a)D= 0.625 Decimal that describes the portion of the workday he has finished
b)P= D*100= 0.625*100=62.5%
P: percentaje
D: Decimal
Step-by-step explanation:
Nomenclature
F: fraction of daily workday
D: decimal of daily workday
P: percentage of daily workday
Formulas
F= a/b
D= a÷b
P= D*100
Problem development
We have:
F = 5/8, then:
D= 5÷8= 0.625
To obtain the percentage of the workday that Matew has completed, we multiply the decimal x 100
P= 0.625*100=62.5%
Answer:
$7,987.64
Step-by-step explanation:
We know,
A = Pe^(rt)
Here,
A = 11000
interest r = .08
Time t = 4
Now,
11000 = Pe^(.08 * 4)
Or, 11000 = Pe^.32
Or, 11000 / e^.32 = P
Or, 7987.6394 = P
Or, P= 7,987.64
Jerome will have to ask for $7,987.64 to his parents.
