The equation that matches the given situation is -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}=? . So, after two moves, Eric's elevation changed 4\frac{1}{4} meters above.

We know that in mathematics, subtraction means removing something from a group or a number of things. What is left in the group gets smaller when we subtract. The minuend is the first element we use. The subtrahend is the part that is being removed. The difference is the portion that remains after subtraction.

Assume that "negative" means climbing down and "positive" means climbing up. We must locate the elevation change in this area.

Given that Eric climbed straight down 2\frac{1}{2} meters. So we can write -2\frac{1}{2}.

Again Eric climbed straight up 6\frac{3}{4} meters. So, we can write 6\frac{3}{4}.

Then the change = -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}

=-\frac{(2*2+1)}{2}+\frac{6*4+3}{4}

=-\frac{5}{2} +\frac{27}{4}

=\frac{-(5*2)+27}{4}

=\frac{-10+27}{4}

=\frac{17}{4}

=\frac{4*4+1}{4}

=4\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, the equation that matches the given situation is -2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}=? . So, after two moves, Eric's elevation changed 4\frac{1}{4} meters above.

John is selling tickets to an event. Attendees can either buy a general admission ticket, x,
Masteriza [31]

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of each general admission = $50

Cost of each VIP ticket = $55

Total tickets sold = 29

Total revenue generated = $1505

Let,

x represent the number of general admission tickets sold

y represent the number of VIP tickets.

x+y=29     Eqn 1

50x+55y=1505   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50

50(x+y=29)\\50x+50y=1450\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(50x+55y)-(50x+50y)=1505-1450\\50x+55y-50x-50y=55\\5y=55

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

x+11=29\\x=19-11\\x=18

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

I’m not sure how to write this equation. Please check the picture to see the graph for yourself! Help will be much appreciated!
Makovka662 [10]

let's notice something, the parabola is a vertical one, so the squared variable is the x, and is opening downwards, meaning the x² will have a negative coefficient.

the distance from the vertex to the directrix/focus is the amount of "p" units, let's see in the graph, the distance from the vertex to the directrix is 2, and since the parabola is opening downwards, "p" is a negative 2, p = -2.  The vertex is of course at (0, 2).


\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}&#10;\\\\&#10;4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2&#10;\qquad&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\  p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\&#10;\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;h=0\\&#10;k=2\\&#10;p=-2&#10;\end{cases}\implies 4(-2)(y-2)=(x-0)^2\implies -8(y-2)=x^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y-2=\cfrac{x^2}{-8}\implies \blacktriangleright y=-\cfrac{1}{8}x^2+2 \blacktriangleleft
