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.

Answer:

= 2n²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the sequence 2,8,18,32,50

The difference between each numbers are

: 6, 10, 14, 18

The difference between the second sequence is 4.

Therefore the nth term of the sequence is 2n²

tensor-on-tensor regression: riemannian optimization, over-parameterization, statistical-computational gap and their interplay
Contact [7]

The purpose of the tensor-on-tensor regression, which we examine, is to relate tensor responses to tensor covariates with a low Tucker rank parameter tensor/matrix without being aware of its intrinsic rank beforehand.

By examining the impact of rank over-parameterization, we suggest the Riemannian Gradient Descent (RGD) and Riemannian Gauss-Newton (RGN) methods to address the problem of unknown rank. By demonstrating that RGD and RGN, respectively, converge linearly and quadratically to a statistically optimal estimate in both rank correctly-parameterized and over-parameterized scenarios, we offer the first convergence guarantee for the generic tensor-on-tensor regression. According to our theory, Riemannian optimization techniques automatically adjust to over-parameterization without requiring implementation changes.
