<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The ellipse is vertical so y has the biggest radius.
Major axis (y) = 20 so the y-radius is 20/2 = 10
Minor axis (x) = 14 so the x-radius is 14/2 = 7
The equation of an ellipse is: where
Given: a = 7, b = 10
Assume: (h, k) = (0, 0)
Answer:
612 adults
361 students
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, set two equations:
Let x be number of adults and y be number of students.
As there are in total 937 people, the equation would be the sum of both adults and children:
...... ( 1 )
As the total sale amount is $1109, the equation would be to add up the ticket fee:
...... ( 2 )
Put ( 1 ) into ( 2 ):
Put y into ( 1 ):
Therefore there are 612 adults and 361 students.
