Answer:

Total money they had at first $252.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the amount Silas had originally

y be the amount Raja had originally

According to given statement;

x = 3y     Eqn 1

x - 84 = y + 42    Eqn 2

Putting x=3y in Eqn 2

3y - 84 = y + 42

3y - y = 42 + 84

2y = 126

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{126}{2}\\y=63

Putting y = 63 in Eqn 1

x = 3(63)

x = 189

Total money they originally had = 189 + 63 = $252

Hence,

Total money they had at first $252.

(35 Points)<br> Evaluate ƒ(x) when x = 6.
pychu [463]

The value of the function is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that we have in this problem is

f(x)=\left \{ {{3x^2+1}, -4

This means that:

when x is between -4 (excluded) and 6 (excluded), the value of the function is 3x^1+2

when x is between 6 (included) and 9 (excluded), the value of the function is 6

In this problem, we are asked to evaluate f(x) when x = 6. Therefore, we are in the second case: therefore, the value of the function is 6,

f(x)=6

In 2013 number of students in a small school is 284.it is estimated that student population will increase by 4 percent
BaLLatris [955]

The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.

Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get

{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P

n

=284⋅1.04

n

We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.

\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7

We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.

\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P

7

=284⋅1.04

7

≈374

The student population will be about 374 in 2020.
