Question

Complete the calculate_cars_needed(number_of_people, number_of_seats) function that takes the number of people to be transported and the capacity of each car as parameters. The function then prints the number of cars needed. For example: Test Result calculate_cars_needed(10, 4) 3 cars needed for 10 people. calculate_cars_needed(4, 5) 1 car needed for 4 people. 

          Complete the calculate_cars_needed(number_of_people, number_of_seats) function that takes the number of people to be transported and the capacity of each car as parameters. The function then prints the number of cars needed.

The two high schools in your district plan a trip to New York City. Your high school rents and fills 3 vans and 6 buses with 159 students. The other high school rents and fills 5 vans and 5 buses with 155 students. There are no open seats in any van or bus. Clearly define your variables and then create a system of equations to model the situation. Finally, find how many students each type of vehicle can carry, and state your answer in a sentence.

Use function notation to show how you would compose the two functions to get the requested new function. List the units for the inputs and outputs of the new function. Let $D(\nu)$ be the amount of environmental damage, in thousands of dollars, done to a national park when $\nu$ visitors come to the park in a year. Let $V(t)$ be the number of visitors who come to a national park in year $t$. Find a function that gives the amount of environmental damage at a national park in year $t$.

00:01 The first things first we define our variables.
00:03 I'm going to say v equals the number of vans we have, or no, seats.
00:08 V is the seats in vans, and i'm going to say v is the seats in buses.
00:19 So we know that we have three vans and six buses with 159 students.
00:28 Three vans, six buses, 159 students, and all the seats are filled.
00:37 So the other high school has five vans and five buses with 155 students.
00:51 So if we want to solve this, we have to do one or two things.
01:00 We can either use substitution or elimination.
01:04 And in this situation, i'm going to go ahead and use elimination.
01:10 So what i'm going to do is i'm going to multiply this top equation by 5, and i'm going to multiply this bottom equation by 3, and then i'm going to subtract them.
01:25 So when we do this, 5 times 3 is 15, 3 times 5 is 15, 15 minus 15 is 0.
01:35 5 times 6 is 30, 3 times 5 is 15, 30 minus 15 is positive 15b, and then 15 times 5 is 795, 15 times, or 155 times 3 is 465, so 795 minus 465 is 330...
