Answer:

The nomber of people can attend a dinner that costs $131. 50 is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, it can be said that the total cost of a dinner would be equal to the initial fee plus the result of multiplying the price per person for the number of people, which can be expressed as:

c=16+8.25x, where:

c is the total cost of he dinner

x is the number of people

Now, you can replace c with 131.50 that is the cost of a dinner and solve for x to find the number of people that can attend:

131.50=16+8.25x

131.50-16=8.25x

115.50=8.25x

x=115.50/8.25

x=14

According to this, the answer is that the nomber of people can attend a dinner that costs $131.50 is 14.

After t seconds, a ball in the air from the ground level reaches a height of h feet given by the equation h= 144t-16t^2 . After
Effectus [21]
H=0
Therefore:
144t-16t²=0
t (144-16t)=0
We have two equations:
1)
t=0    (when the ball is released)
2)
144-16t=0
-16t=-144
t=-144 / -16=9  (this is the time )

Answer: the ball hit the ground in 9 s.

A regular octagon rotates 360° about its center. How many times does the image of the octagon coincide with the preimage during
diamong [38]
The number of times the image of the octagon will coincide with the preimage during rotation is determined by:
N = R/C

where
N is the number of times the preimage coincided with the rotated image during rotation
R is the angle of rotation
C is the central angle of the regular polygon

For an octagon, the central angle is
C = 360/8 = 45

So,
N = 360 / 45 = 8

Therefore, the rotated image of the octagon will coincide with the preimage 8 times during rotation.
