Answer:

  325 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This "sum and difference" problem can be solved by assigning a single variable to the quantity you want to know. Let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then (a-60) is the number of student tickets sold, and the total number sold is ...

  a +(a -60) = 590

  2a = 590 +60

  a = 650/2 = 325

There were 325 adult tickets sold.

__

<em>Check</em>

325-60 = 265 student tickets were sold, for a total of 325+265 = 590.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may have noticed that the larger number of tickets (number of adult tickets) was found to be the average of the two numbers given in the problem statement. That will generally be the case for a "sum and difference" problem.

(f/g)(x)and (f/g)(7)
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\\\\(\frac{f}{g})(7)=\frac{f(7)}{g(7)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Division operation of function:If\ f(x)\ and\ g(x)\ are\ two\ functions\ then\ (\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}

Here\ we\ have\ to\ find\ (\frac{f}{g})(7)\\\\(\frac{f}{g})(7)=\frac{f(7)}{g(7)}

Example:

Take\ f(x)=3x^2+1,\ g(x)=x+1\\\\(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\\\\(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{3x^2+1}{x+1}\\\\f(7)=3\times 7^2+1\\\\f(7)=3\times 49+1\\\\f(7)=148\\\\g(7)=7+1\\\\g(7)=8\\\\(\frac{f}{g})(7)=\frac{f(7)}{g(7)}\\\\(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{148}{8}

A student is trying to calculate the density of a ball. She already knows the mass, but she needs to determine the volume as wel
mario62 [17]
<h2>Answer and Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. In a mathematical language, this can be written as follows:

\rho=\frac{m}{V} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ \rho: \ density \\ \\ m:mass \\ \\ V:Volume

From the problem, a student is trying to calculate the density of a ball. She already knows the mass, but is facing a problem because she also needs to find the volume. From geometry, we know that the volume of a sphere is:

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Since a ball is a sphere, then the student can use this formula. She just need to measure the radius of the ball and compute the Volumen, then she have to plug both the value of the mass and the value of the Volume in the equation \rho=\frac{m}{V}. An easy way to find the radius is to take the measure of the diameter of the ball and divide that value by 2.

A dolphin jumps 54 times in a 6 hour period. At this rate, how many jumps would be expected in a 2-hour period?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The dolphin will jump 18 times in 2hours.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the jumps per hour: 54/6 = 9

^This means that the dolphin jumps 9 times in an hour.

9*2 (hours) = 18

The dolphin will jump 18 times in two hours.
