The coordinates of A will be (2P +M)/3
= (2(16, 14) +(1, 4))/3 = (33/3, 32/3) = (11, 32/3)
The appropriate choice is
(C) (11, 32/3)
_____
You will note that the coordinates of A are the weighted average of the coordinates of the end points. The weighting is the reverse of the ratio of the line segments. That is, the point adjacent to the shortest segment gets the highest weighting. (This is typical of the solution to "mixture" problems.)
Let y(t) represent the level of water in inches at time t in hours. Then we are given ...
y'(t) = k√(y(t)) . . . . for some proportionality constant k
y(0) = 30
y(1) = 29
We observe that a function of the form
y(t) = a(t - b)²
will have a derivative that is proportional to y:
y'(t) = 2a(t -b)
We can find the constants "a" and "b" from the given boundary conditions.
At t=0
30 = a(0 -b)²
a = 30/b²
At t=1
29 = a(1 - b)² . . . . . . . . . substitute for t
29 = 30(1 - b)²/b² . . . . . substitute for a
29/30 = (1/b -1)² . . . . . . divide by 30
1 -√(29/30) = 1/b . . . . . . square root, then add 1 (positive root yields extraneous solution)
b = 30 +√870 . . . . . . . . simplify
The value of b is the time it takes for the height of water in the tank to become 0. It is 30+√870 hours ≈ 59 hours 29 minutes 45 seconds
To solve, set up a proportion
3.25 cups x cups
---------------- = ---------------
13 servings 28 servings
Now cross multiply
13x = 28 * 3.25
Simplify.
13x = 91
Divide both sides by 13
x = 7 cups
To check your answer, use proportions again, but change the left side to 4.5 cups over 18 servings, use the same steps, if the answer is the same as above, then the answer is correct

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given
cost per drive= $20
additional fee per person= $4
let the number of persons be p
and the total cost be C
The total cost function is expressed as
Step two:
Required:
<u><em>We want to make P subject of the cost function </em></u>
Take 20 to the other side we have
C-20=4p
divide through by 4
P=C-20/4
simplify
P=C/4-5
