Two ocean beaches are being affected by erosion. The table shows the width, in feet, of each beach measured at high tide where 1995 is represented by year 0: Year numberWestern Beach width (in feet)Dunes Beach width (in feet)

A. Describe the patterns shown by the erosion data measurements shown for each of the beaches in the table.
B. Between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width?
C. Assuming these rates remain constant, what can you do to get a better approximation of when the two beaches will have the same width?

Exercise: counting committees 0.0/2.0 puntos (calificable) we start with a pool of n people. a chaired committee consists of k≥1 members, out of whom one member is designated as the chairperson. the expression k(nk) can be interpreted as the number of possible chaired committees with k members. this is because we have (nk) choices for the k members, and once the members are chosen, there are then k choices for the chairperson. thus, c=∑k=1nk(nk) is the total number of possible chaired committees of any size. find the value of c (as a function of n ) by thinking about a different way of forming a chaired committee: first choose the chairperson, then choose the other members of the committee. the answer is of the form c=(α+nβ)2γn+δ. what are the values of α , β , γ , and δ ?
