A Broadway musical was attended by a total of 2,838 people, including men, women, and children. The number of women who attended

the event was 5 more than 3 times the number of children, while the number of men was 3 less than 4 times the number of women. Write an equation to model this situation. Then, use the equation to find the number of men, women, and children who attended the musical.

Total= 2838
x= # of children
3x+5= # of women
4(3x+5)-3= # of men

x + (3x+5) + 4(3x+5)-3= 2838
multiply 4 by 3x+5 first

x + (3x+5) + (4*3x) + (4*5) - 3= 2838
combine like terms

4x + 5 + 12x + 20 - 3= 2838
16x + 22= 2838
subtract 22 from both sides

16x= 2816
divide both sides by 16

x= 176

ANSWER:
# Children= x= 176
# Women= 3x+5= 3(176)+5= 533
# Men= 4(3x+5)-3=4(3(176)+5)-3= 2129

CHECK:
#children + #women + #men= 2838
176 + 533 + 2129= 2838
2838= 2838

Hope this helps! :)

given an existing function: f(x)=0.5(x-2)2+3, what transformstiins would have to be made to result in g(x)=-2(x+3)2 -1?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

  • vertical scaling by a factor of -4
  • horizontal translation 5 units left
  • vertical translation 11 units up

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice that the multiplier of the squared term in f(x) is 0.5; in g(x), it is -2, so is a factor of -4 times that in f(x).

If we scale f(x) by a factor of -4, we get ...

  -4f(x) = -2(x -2)² -12

In order for the squared quantity to be x+3, we have to add 5 to the value that is squared in f(x). That is, x -2 must become x +3. We have to replace x with (x+5) to do that, so ...

  (x+5) -2 = x +3

The replacement of x with x+5 amounts to a translation of 5 units to the left.

We note that the added constant after our scaling changes from +3 to -12. Instead, we want it to be -1, so we must add 11 to the scaled function. That translates it upward by 11 units.

The attached graph shows the scaled and translated function g(x):

  g(x) = -4f(x +5) +11
