The number of adults at an amusement park, measured in hundreds of people, is represented by the function a(w)=−0.4w^2+5w+9, whe

re w is the number of weeks since the amusement park opened for the season.
The number of children at the same amusement park, measured in hundreds of people, is represented by the function c(w)=−0.2w^2+9w+12, where w is the number of weeks since the amusement park opened for the season.

What function, f(w) , can be used to determine how many more children than adults are at the amusement park any week during the season?

Answer:

0.2w^2+4w+3

Step-by-step explanation:

a(w)=−0.4w^2+5w+9

c(w)=−0.2w^2+9w+12

We want to find the how many more children than adults

f(w) = c(w) - a(w)

    = −0.2w^2+9w+12 - ( −0.4w^2+5w+9)

Distribute the minus sign

= −0.2w^2+9w+12 +0.4w^2-5w-9

Combine like terms

 = 0.2w^2+4w+3

son4ous [18]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

Let's substitute the value of x as 8 in the given equation to find the value of y ~

  • \sf2x + y = 12

  • \sf(2 \times 8) + y = 12

  • \sf16 + y = 12

  • \sf y = 12 - 16

  • \sf y =  - 4

Help me plss need help with theses three

interior angle of a regular 18-gon.
It is easier to calculate the exterior angle of a regular polygon of n-sides (n-gon) by the relation
exterior angle = 360/n
For a 18-gon, n=18, so exterior angle = 360/18=20 °
The value of each interior angle is therefore the supplement, or
Interior angle = 180-20=160 degrees.

Naming of a 9-gon
A polygon with 9 vertices is called a nonagon (in English) or enneagon (French ennéagone, but the English version is sometimes used)
You had a good start with the correct answer.

Exterior angle of a 15-gon
The exterior angle of a 15-gon can be calculated using the relation given in the first paragraph, namely
Exterior angle = 360/15=24 degrees

A box is being created out of a 15 inch by 10 inch sheet of metal. Equal-sized squares are cutout of the corners, then the sides
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box  has largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A box is being created out of a 15 inches by 10 inches sheet of metal.

The length of the one side of the squares which are cut out of the each corners of the metal sheet be x.

The length of the metal box be = (15-2x) inches.

The width of the metal box be =(10-2x) inches

The height of the metal box be =x inches

Then, the volume of the metal box= length×width×height

                                                         =(15-2x)(10-2x)x cubic inches

                                                         =(150x-50x²+4x³) cubic inches

∴ V= 4x³-50x²+15x

Differentiating with respect to x

V'=12x²-100x+15

Again differentiating with respect to x

V''=24x-100

For maximum or minimum value, V'=0

12x²-100x+15=0

Apply quadratic formula x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, here a=12, b= -100 and c=15

x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^2-4.12.15}}{2.12}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{9280}}{2.12}

\Rightarrow x=0.1528,8.18

For x= 8.18, The value of (15-2x) and (10-2x) will negative.

∴x=0.1528 .

Now, V''|_{x=0.1528}=24(0.1528)-100

∴At x=0.1528 inch, the volume of the metal box will be maximum.

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box  has largest volume.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,-1) and (-4,2). Put your answer in fully simplified point-slop
Archy [21]

(\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-4}-\underset{x_1}{(-6)}}} \implies \cfrac{2 +1}{-4 +6} \implies \cfrac{ 3 }{ 2 }

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-1)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-6)}) \implies {\large \begin{array}{llll} y +1= \cfrac{3}{2} (x +6) \end{array}}
