Answer:

132 children and 88 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the amount of kids and y represent the amount of adults.

since the problem says there was a total of 220 people at the fair an equation can be made

x+y=220

the problem tells that each childrens ticket was 1.5$ and each adult ticket was $4 and that a total of $550 was made that day, we can use the knowledge to make an equation:

1.5x + 4y = 550

using the equations we can make this systems of equations:

1.5x + 4y =550

x + y =220

solve the systems of equations by subracting y on both sides of th bottom equation:

x=220-y

since x is equivant to 220-y it can be substitued for x in the first equation to make this:

1.5(220-y)+4y =550

--solve for y--

y=88 - there were 88 adults

substute 88 for y in the second equation

x+88=220

--solve for x--

x=138 - there were 132 children

This is the theory of exponential growth. Given that the an athlete is training to run marathon and she plans to run 2 miles in the first week and increase the distance by 8%. The function modeling how far she will run the nth week will be given by
nth=ae^(bx)
nth=2e^(0.08x)
where x is the nth time.

Find the first four terms of the sequence given by the following. aₙ=43-3(n-1) n=1,2,3. . .

Serggg [28]

Given :-

The general term of a sequence is given by aₙ=43-3(n-1) .

To Find :-

The first four terms of the sequence.

Solution :-

The given expression is $/$

→ aₙ=43-3(n-1)

where n > 0

Finding the first term :

Substituting n = 1 , we have ,

→ T1 = 43 - 3(1-1)

→ T1 = 43 - 3*0

→ T1 = 43 - 0 = 43

Finding the second term :

Substituting n = 2 , we have,

→ T2 = 43 -3(2-1)

→ T2 = 43 -3*1

→ T2 = 43 -3 = 40

Finding the third term :

Substituting n = 3 , we have,

→ T3 = 43 -3(3-1)

→ T3 = 43 -3*2

→ T3 = 43 -6 = 37

Finding the fourth term :

→ T4 = 43 -3(4-1)

→ T4 = 43 -3*3

→ T4 = 43-9 = 34

Hence the first four terms of the sequence are 43 , 40 , 37 and 34 .

I hope this helps . Let me know if you need further clarification .
