1 answer:
Answer:
Jose's solution is not correct, the auditorium has rows
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
where
f(x)------> is the total number of seats in the auditorium
x----> represents the number of rows
How many rows are there in the auditorium if it has a total of 416 seats?
so
Find the value of x for f(x)=416 seats
substitute the value of f(x) in the equation
Using a graphing calculator
The values of x are
The solution is
x=16 rows because the number of rows can not be a negative number

Sally has $28.00 in her bank account and starts saving $18.25 every week.
Let x represent the number of weeks from when he have $28.00 in her account.
and y represent the amount in her account at week x;
We can write the function of the case as;
where m is the amount she saves every week, and b the initial amount in her account.
So, the function will be;

Her friend Suzy has $161.00 in her bank account and is withdrawing $15 every week.
Using the same rule as in a above;
The function will be;
c.
The graph of the two functions is shown below;
d.
The point where the two lines intersect is shown in the graph above.
The point is at;
Which is at week 4 and balance $101.
e.
The point at which they intersect is the point where they both have the same values.
It is the week when both Sally and Suzy have the same amount in there account.
So, at the fourth week (week 4) Sally and Suzy both have $101 in their account
