Answer:

562 child tickets were sold

217 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

A festival charges $3 for children admission and $5 for adult admission

At the end of the festival they have sold a total number of 779 tickets for $2771

Let x represent the child ticket

Let y represent the adult ticket

x + y= 779..............equation 1

3x + 5y= 2771..........equation 2

From equation 1

x + y = 779

x= 779 -y

Substitute 779-y for x in equation 2

3x + 5y= 2771

3(779-y) + 5y= 2771

2337 - 3y + 5y= 2771

2337 +2y= 2771

2y= 2771 -2337

2y = 434

y = 434/2

y = 217

Substitute 217 for y in equation 1

x + y= 779

x + 217= 779

x = 779-217

x= 562

Hence 562 child tickets were sold and 217 adult tickets were sold

Sin(60-theta)sin(60+theta)​
ehidna [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin(60 -  \theta)  \sin(60 +  \theta)  \\  =  \{ \sin(60)  \cos( \theta)  -  \sin( \theta)   \cos(60)  \} \{ \sin(60)  \cos( \theta)  +  \cos(60)  \sin( \theta)  \} \\  =  \{ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}  \cos( \theta)  -  \frac{1}{2}  \sin( \theta)  \} \{ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}  \cos( \theta)  +  \frac{1}{2}  \sin( \theta)  \} \\  \\

from difference of two squares:

{ \boxed{(a - b)(a + b) = ( {a}^{2} -  {b}^{2} ) }}

therefore:

=  \{ {( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}) }^{2}  { \cos }^{2}  \theta \} -  \{ {( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} )}^{2}  { \sin }^{2}  \theta \} \\  \\  =  \frac{3}{4}  { \cos }^{2}  \theta -  \frac{3}{4}  { \sin}^{2}  \theta

factorise out ¾ :

=  \frac{3}{4} ( { \cos }^{2}  \theta  -  { \sin}^{2}   \theta) \\  \\  = { \boxed{ \frac{3}{4}  \cos(2 \theta) }}

A manufacturer has a monthly fixed cost of $110,000 and a production cost of $14 for each unit produced. The product sells for $
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Cost function C(x) == FC + VC*Q

Revenue function R(x) = Px * Q

Profit function P(x) =(Px * Q)-(FC + VC*Q)

P(12000) = -38000 Loss

P(23000) = 28000 profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost is Fixed cost plus Variable cost multiplied by the produce quantity.  

(a)Cost function

C(x) = FC + vc*Q

Where  

FC=Fixed cost

VC=Variable cost

Q=produce quantity

(b)

Revenue function

R(x) = Px * Q

Where  

Px= Sales Price

Q=produce quantity

(c) Profit function

Profit = Revenue- Total cost

P(x) =(Px * Q)-(FC + vc*Q)

(d) We have to replace in the profit function

<u>at 12,000 units </u>

P(12000) =($20 * 12,000)-($110,000 + $14*12,000)

P(12000) = -38000

<u>at 23,000 units </u>

P(x) =($20 * 23,000)-($110,000 + $14*23,000)

P(23000) = 28000
