Why do you want me a little bit of
A=h•b/2
h=2x+1
b=2x
A=(2x+1) •2x/2
Divide numerator and denominator by 2
A=x(2x+1)
Let T = total cost
Let 8c = total amount of children tickets
Let 12a = total amount of adult tickets
T = 8c + 12a
Answer:
- x = log(y/4)/log(1.0256)
- your answer for y=12 is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to solve ...
y = f(x)
for x. (In other words, find the inverse function.)
You already did this using a constant for y. Do the same thing with y instead of the constant.
y = 4(1.0256^x)
y/4 = 1.0256^x . . . . . . . divide by 4
log(y/4) = x·log(1.0256) . . . . . take logs
log(y/4)/log(1.0256) = x . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Now, you have a model for x in terms of y, which is what the question is asking for.
x = log(y/4)/log(1.0256) . . . . . . . exact expression
When y=12, this is ...
x = log(12/4)/log(1.0256) ≈ 43.46 . . . . weeks

This is a linear equation in log(y), so can be written as such:
x = 91.0912·log(y) -54.8424 . . . . . approximate expression
