The amount spent by Seedevi is $66

<h3>How to determine the amount spent by Seedevi?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Seedevi = half as much money as Georgia,

Seedevi = $6 more than Amy

The three of them = $258

To solve this question, we use the following representations

x = Seedevi

y = Georgia

z = Amy

So, we have the following equations

x = 0.5y

x = 6 + z

x + y + z = 258

Make y and z the subjects

y = 2x

z = x - 6

Substitute y = 2x and z = x - 6 in x + y + z = 258

x + 2x + x - 6 = 258

Evaluate the like terms

4x = 264

Divide by 4

x = 66

Hence, the amount spent by Seedevi is $66

11. What is the location of the vertex of the parabola defined by f(x) = −3x2 − 18x − 35 and in what direction does the parabola

lbvjy [14]

11. The given parabola has equation: $f(x)=-3x^2-18x-35$

We complete the square to have the function in the vertex form: $f(x)=-3(x^2+6x)-35$

$f(x)=-3(x^2+6x+9)+3*9-35$

$f(x)=-3(x^2+6x+9)+27-35$

$f(x)=-3(x+3)^2-8$

The vertex is (-3,-8), the graph opens down because a=-3<0

Ans: B. Vertex: (−3, −8), opens downward

12. We know the graph of $y=x^2$ is a parabola that opens up and has its minimum point at the origin.

The range of this function is $y\ge 0$

A straight line that has its y-intercept below the x-axis (y=3x-6) will not intersect $y=x^2$ and hence will form a system with no solution.

Ans: D. y equals x squared, y equals 3x minus 6

14. We want to find the zeros of $x^2+21x=5x-63$

$x^2+21x-5x+63=0$

$x^2+16x+63=0$

The factored form is $(x+7)(x+9)=0$

$x=-7\:or\: x=-9$

Ans: C. x = −7, −9

15. The given quadratic expression is $6x^2-17x+10$

We split the middle term to obtain:

$6x^2-12x-5x+10=0$

We factor by grouping to get:

$6x(x-2)-5(x-2)=0$

$(x-2)(6x-5)=0$

Ans: D. 6x − 5

6 children and 2 adults are going to the circus, children tickets are on sale, half the price of adult tickets totaling $54. How

inna [77]

Answer:

Price of 1 child ticket is $5.4

Price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

6 children and 2 adults are going for circus.

Children ticket is half the price of adult ticket.

Total ticketing cost =$54

To find:-

Cost of 1 child ticket=?

Cost of 1 Adult ticket=?

Solution:-

Let price of 1 child ticket be x and price of 1 adult ticket be y,

therefore from the given data we get 2 equations,

$6x+2y=54$ -----------------------------------(1)

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$ --------------------------------(2)

Now, substituting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1,

$6x+2y=54$

$6(\frac{1}{2} y)+2y=54$

$\frac{6}{2}y+2y=54$

$3y+2y=54$

$5y=54$

$\therefore y=\frac{54}{5}$

$\therefore y =10.8$ ------------------------(3)

Now, substituting the value of y from equation 3 in equation 2,

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$

$\therefore x=\frac{1}{2} \times 10.8$ ------------(from equation 3)

$\therefore x=\frac{10.8}{2}$

$\therefore x=5.4$ ----------------------(4)

As, x is price of 1 child ticket and y is price of 1 adult ticket,

Therefore price of 1 child ticket is $5.4 and price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8
