We have a problem of a sysmtem of equation

x is the number tickets sold of general admission

y is the number o tickets sold for seniors

The first equation is about the number of ticktes sold

x+y=155

the second equation is about the amount of money

12x+9y=1680

we isolate x of the first equation

x=155-y

we substitute the equatio above in the second equation

12(155-y)+9y=1680

1860-12y+9y=1680

we isolate the y

-3y=1680-1860

-3y=-180

y=-180/-3

y=60

then we substitute the value of y in order to find x

x=155-y

x=155-60

x=95

They sold 95 tickets of general admission

The process is similar to (and easier* than) adding three 4-digit numbers. Add the numbers in each column.

The sum is ...
  (2+1-3)x³ +(-4+6+2)x² +(6-8-4)x +(-3+12-7)
  = 0x³ +4x² -6x +2

The sum is 4x² -6x +2


_____
* The process is easier because there are no "carry" operations from one column to another as there may be when adding multi-digit numbers.

\frac{3}{4}\\ is 0.75 so it should be between 0 and 1 but a little bit closer to 1.

<h2>2.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • y=2x(2 -3x)
<h3>Find</h3>
  • y·y'' +x·y' -16 in simplest form
<h3>Solution</h3>

It is convenient to expand the expression for y to ease determination of derivatives.

... y = 4x -6x²

... y' = 4 -12x

... y'' = -12

Then the differential expression can be written as

... (4x -6x²)(-12) +x(4 -12x) -16

... = -48x +72x² +4x -12x² -16

... = 60x² -44x -16

<h2>3.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • y = 16/x +x³/3
<h3>Find</h3>
  • the turning points
  • the extreme(s)
<h3>Solution</h3>

The derivative is

... y' = -16x^-2 + x^2

This is zero at the turning points, so

... -16/x^2 +x^2 = 0

... x^4 = 16 . . . . . . . . . multiply by x^2, add 16

... x^2 = ±√16 = ±4

We're only interested in the real values of x, so

... x = ±√4 = ±2 . . . . . . . x-values at the turning points

Then the turning points are

... y = 16/-2 +(-2)³/3 = -8 +-8/3 = -32/3 . . . . for x = -2

... y = 16/2 + 2³/3 = 8 +8/3 = 32/3 . . . . . . . for x = 2

The maximum is (-2, -10 2/3); the minimum is (2, 10 2/3).
