Answer:

2 children 9 adults.

Step-by-step explanation::

$22 for adults and $15 for children.

Let x and y represent the unknown values and A represents cost for adults and C represents cost for children

C(x) + A(y)=228 would be one equation for this to figure out the amount of children to adults.

Since there are 11 people we know the x and y values when added cannot equal more than 11.

15(1) + 22(10)=235 So that's not correct

15(2) + 22(9) = 228 so that's the correct answer.

You could also graph if you weren't figuring out children to adults:

y=mx+b. y-intercept would be 11 because that's the amount of people altogether. y=__x+11. y=-1x+11. because of rise over run (1/-1= -1). So, it would also be a linear decreasing function!

Adults = 9

Children = 2


Let x be the number of adults.

11-x is the number of children.


22x + 15(11-x) = 228

22x + 165 - 15x = 228

22x - 15x = 228 - 165

7x = 63

7x / 7 = 63 / 7

x = 9  number of adults.


11 - x = 11 - 9 = 2 number of children.


To check:


22x + 15(11-x) = 228

22(9) + 15(11-9) = 228

198 + 30 = 228

228 = 228

Differentiating Exponential Functions In Exercise, find the derivative of the function.<br> y = x2ex
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

y' = xe^{x}(2 + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a product function y, in the following format

y = f(x)*g(x)

This function has the following derivative

y' = f'(x)*g(x) + g'(x)*f(x)

In this problem, we have that:

y = x^{2}e^{x}

So

f(x) = x^{2}, f'(x) = 2x, g(x) = e^{x}, g'(x) = e^{x}

The derivative of the function is:

y' = f'(x)*g(x) + g'(x)*f(x)

y' = 2xe^{x} + x^{2}e^{x}

y' = e^{x}(2x + x^{2})

y' = xe^{x}(2 + x)

What is the difference between the product of four and a number and 6
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
4x-6

A product means you have to multiply so the product of four and a number is 4 times x so 4x
A difference means you have to substraction a number from another number. So -6

The sum of the measures of two complementary angles exceeds the difference of their measures by 72°. Find the measure of the sma
Neporo4naja [7]
First we need to define our conditions. Since the angles are complimentary, the sum of the angles must be equal to 90 degrees.

let x = first angle
y = second angle

x + y = 90

from the second condition in the problem 

x + y =72 + x -y
solving for x

x= 54

therefore the shorter side is 90 - 54 = y

y = 36 degree, the shorter side
