A₂ = 6      a₄ = 54

a_{n}  =  q^{n-1}  *  a_{1} 

\left \{ {{ a_{2} = q^{2-1} * a_{1} } \atop { a_{4} = q^{4-1}* a_{1}  }} \right.   \\  \\  \left \{ {{6 = q *  a_{1} } \atop {54 =  q^{3} *  a_{1}  }} \right.   \\  \\   \left \{ {{  a_{1} = \frac{6}{q} } \atop {54 = q^{3} * \frac{6}{q}  }} \right.  \\  \\   \left \{ {{ a_{1}  =  \frac{6}{q} } \atop {54 =  q^{2} * 6 }} \right. 

\left \{ {{ a_{1} =  \frac{6}{q} } \atop { q^{2} =9}} \right.  \\  \\  \left \{ {{ a_{1} = \frac{6}{q} } \atop {q= \sqrt{9} }} \right. 
 
q = 3     q = -3

a₁ = 6/3 = 2   a₁ = 6/-3 = -2

A town's population has been growing linearly. In 2003 the population was 47,000. The population has been growing by 1200 people
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The population in 2003= 47000

Since the population increase by 1200 every year,

in 2004 the population will be 47000+1200

in 2005 the population will be 47000+(1200+1200) which is the same as

47000+2(1200) where 2 is 2 years after 2003,

Therefore the population x years after 2003 is 47000+x(1200).

P= 47000+1200x

b) The population at 2009 which is 6 years after 2003 will be

47000+(1200)*6=47000+7200= 54200

The population at 2009 is 54200,

A local kids play sold 8 adult tickets and 9 child tickets for a total of $205. On day two they sold only 4 adult tickets and 3
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The price of 1 adult ticket is $ 11 and price of 1 child ticket is $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of 1 adult ticket

Let y be the cost of 1 child ticket

Cost of 8 adult tickets = 8x

Cost of 9 child tickets = 9y

We are given that A local kids play sold 8 adult tickets and 9 child tickets for a total of $205

So, 8x+9y=205 ----- 1

Cost of 4 adult tickets = 4x

Cost of 3 child tickets = 3y

We are given that 4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets for a total of $83.

4x+3y=83 ----2

Plot 1 and 2 on graph

8x+9y=205  -- Red line

4x+3y=83  -- Blue line

Intersection point provides the solution

So, Intersection point =(11,13)

So, The price of 1 adult ticket is $ 11 and price of 1 child ticket is $13
