249 children and 394 adults swam at the public pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people swam at pool = 643

Receipts = $1161.50

Cost for one child = $1.50

Cost for one adult = $2.00

Let,

x be the number of children

y be the number of adults

According to given statement;

x+y=643    Eqn 1

1.50x+2.00y = 1161.50   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2

2(x+y=643)\\2x+2y=1286\ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(2x+2y)-(1.50x+2.00y)=1286-1161.50\\2x+2y-1.50x-2.00y=124.50\\0.5x=124.50

Dividing both sides by 0.5

\frac{0.5x}{0.5}=\frac{124.50}{0.5}\\x=249

Putting x=249 in Eqn 1

249+y=643\\y=643-249\\y=394

249 children and 394 adults swam at the public pool.

olganol [36]

Answer:

Dosage= 500 mg

Frequency= twice a day (every 12 hours)

Duration= 10 days

Number of dosage= 10*2= 20

residual drug amount after each dosage= 4.5%

We can build an equation to calculate residual drug amount:

  • d= 500*(4.5/100)*t= 22.5t, where d- is residual drug, t is number of dosage
  • After first dose residual drug amount is: d= 500*0.045= 22.5 mg
  • After second dose: d= 22.5*2= 45 mg

As per the equation, the higher the t, the greater the residual drug amount in the body.

Maximum drug will be in the body:

  • d= 20*22.5= 450 mg at the end of 10 days

Maximum drug will be in the body right after the last dose, when the amount will be:

  • 500+19*22.5= 927.5 mg

C) was 4.325 * 10^6,

D) was 4.325 * 10^9

I just went for gusto, and multiplied/solved answer D), and it was correct. I just punched into calculator, and boom. 4,325,000,000. I hope this helps!

so somwehre between x=9 and x=10

hmm
f(9.5)=724.007
h(9.5)=874.875

go to 9.75
f(9.75)=944.609
h(9.75)=861.078

up

9.9
f(9.9)=955.426
h(9.9)=988.199
up

9.95
f(9.95)=989.119
h(9.95)=1003.02
up

9.99
f(9.99)=1016.93
h(9.99)=1014.99

a bit down
9.98
f(9.98)=1009.9
h(9.98)=1011.99

a bit up
9.985
f(9.985)=1013.41
h(9.985)=1013.49
pretty close, ya

so about at 9.985=x
if we graphed, we get that x=9.98512070914982..., so we are pretty close
