PLEASE HELP!!!

The number of adults who have seen a new family play at the local theater, measured in hundreds of people, is represented by the
function a (w) = -0.4w2 + 3w + 8, where w is the number of weeks since the play opened.
The number of children who have seen the same play, measured in hundreds of people, is represented by the function
c (w) = -0.3w2 + 2w + 13, where w is the number of weeks since the play opened.
What function, d (w). can be used to determine how many more children than adults have seen the play in any week?
d (w) = -0.1w2 + 5W + 21
d (w) = 0.1w2 – w+ 5
d (w) = -0.1w2 – w + 5
Od (w) = 0.1w2 + 5W + 5

Answer:

d (w) = 0.1w² – w+ 5

Explanation:

d(w) = c(w) - a(w)

= -0.3w²+2w+13 -(-0.4w²+3w+8)

= -0.3w²+0.4w²+2w-3w+13-8

= 0.1w²-w+5
