Answer:

<u>188 children</u> and <u>145 adults</u> were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

<u><em>Let the number of children admitted be </em></u>x.<u><em /></u>

<u><em>And the the number of adults admitted be </em></u>y.<u><em /></u>

So, the total people enter the park:

x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\

Substituting the value of x from equation (1):

1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.

<u><em>Thus, the number of adults = 145.</em></u>

Now, to get the number of children by substituting the value of y in equation (1) we get:

x=333-y\\\\x=333-145\\\\x=188.

<u><em>Hence, the number of children = 188.</em></u>

Therefore, 188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

Y = f(x) = 2^x
Virty [35]

Answer:

The value of f(x) when x=-1 is 0.5

Therefore f(-1)=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y=f(x)=2^x

to find the f(x) when x=-1 :

That is to find f(-1)

Put x=-1 in the given function f(x)=2^x

f(-1)=2^{-1}

=\frac{1}{2}

=0.5

Therefore f(-1)=0.5

The value of f(x) when x=-1 is 0.5

bear in mind that, direct proportional equations have a y-intercept.

for y = kx, is pretty much y = kx + 0, where 0 = y-intercept.

and the "k" constant of proportionality, is pretty much just its slope.

Square of (1\4A+1\4B)^2
miskamm [114]

Answer:4a = 2⋅(2a)⋅1 4 a = 2 ⋅ ( 2 a) ⋅ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor 4a^2-4a+1. 4a2 − 4a + 1 4 a 2 - 4 a + 1. Rewrite 4a2 4 a 2 as (2a)2 ( 2 a) 2. (2a)2 − 4a+1 ( 2 a) 2 - 4 a + 1. Rewrite 1 1 as 12 1 2. (2a)2 − 4a+12 ( 2 a) 2 - 4 a + 1 2. Check that the middle term is two times the product of the numbers being squared in the first term and third term. 4a = 2⋅(2a)⋅1 4 a = 2 ⋅ ( 2 a) ⋅ 1.
