Answer:

134 children and 120 adult plates were served

Step-by-step explanation:

let the children mean be x

Let the adult meal be y

If fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue, then;

y = x - 14 .... 1

IF Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2.00 each with a total of 441 in amount then;

1.5x + 2y = 441 .... 2

Substitute 1 into 2;

1.5x + 2(x-14) = 441

1.5x+2x-28 = 441

3.5x = 441+28

3.5x = 469

x = 469/3.5

x = 134

Recall that y = x - 14

y = 134-14

y = 120

Hence 134 children and 120 adult plates were served

Calculate limits x&gt;-infinity<br> -2x^5-3x+1
Lera25 [3.4K]

Given:

The limit problem is:

\lim_{x\to -\infty}(-2x^5-3x+1)

To find:

The value of the given limit problem.

Solution:

We have,

\lim_{x\to -\infty}(-2x^5-3x+1)

In the function -2x^5-3x+1, the degree of the polynomial is 5, which is an odd number and the leading coefficient is -2, which is a negative number.

So, the function approaches to positive infinity as x approaches to negative infinity.

\lim_{x\to -\infty}(-2x^5-3x+1)=\infty

Therefore, \lim_{x\to -\infty}(-2x^5-3x+1)=\infty.
