A child bus ticket costs $0.40 and an adult’s ticket costs $0.70. A group of 11 individuals pays $5.90 for their fare.

1 answer:

5 0

Here we have a system of equation like this:
$A+B=11\\
0.4A+0.7B=5.9$
from the first equation we get:
$A=11-B$
Substitute in the second equation we get:
$0.4(11-B)+0.7B=5.9\\4.4-0.4B+0.7B=5.9\\0.3B=1.5\\B= \frac{1.5}{0.3}=5$
Substitute i the first equation again we get:
$A=11-B=11-5=6$
We deduce that:
$A > B$ A is bigger than B.

The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 7 feet, represented by a ve

First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.

If we need the vertex to be at $x=4$ , the equation will contain a $(x-4)^2$ term.

If we start with $y=-(x-4)^2$ we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at $x=4$ and a maximum of 0.

So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be $(4, 7)$

We have

$y = -(x-4)+7$

Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at $(8,0)$ , because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want
