The Opera House sells an average of 1,700 tickets per night when the price of each ticket is $25. An employee of the Opera House

noticed that with every one-dollar decrease in the cost of each ticket, the number of tickets sold increased by 200 tickets.
Write an equation that could be used to determine the number of one-dollar decreases, x, that would yield a revenue of $55,000.

So here's the solution to the problem:

Calculate the average sell:

1,700 * $25 = $42,500 (revenue)

And if the Opera House wants to increase their revenue:

The price of a ticket will be:

$25 - x (where x is the number of 1-dollar decreases)

The number of tickets in total:

1,700 + 200x

Therefore the equation is:

(1,700 +200x) * ( 25 - x ) = 55,000

We can also solve this equation, but the solutions are not whole numbers.

x 1 = 5.89 and x 2 =10.6

For x = 6 (6 times 1 - dollar decreases):

( 1,700 + 200 * 6 ) * ( 25 - 6 ) = ( 1,700 + 1,200 ) * 18

=2,900 *19 = 55,100 (we will yield the revenue over $55,000)

1. Students who attended a track and field meet were polled, and 75% of them said that track and field meets are more fun to att
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Part 1: It is not a valid conclusion to say that track and field sports are more popular than soccer based on the survey. The survey was taken at a track and field event so the people that were surveyed are probably biased.

Part 2: A better way of determining which sport is more popular is by counting how many people show up to each event and comparing the results.

The function h(t) = −16t2 + 18t models the height, in feet, reached by a leopard t seconds after it jumps. What is the approxima
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

  5 1/16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  h(t) = -16t(t -18/16) . . . . put in intercept form

The function describes a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at t=0 and t=9/8. The maximum height will be found at the vertex of the parabola, halfway between these zeros.

  f(9/16) = (-16)(9/16)² +18(9/16) = 81/16 = 5 1/16 . . . . feet

The approximate maximum height of the leopard is 5 1/16 feet.

MATH.... TRIANGLE JKL HAS VERTICES...
7nadin3 [17]
<h3>Answer: Choice (d)</h3>

Explanation:

To reflect over the y axis, we apply this rule

(x,y) \to (-x,y)

which says to flip the sign of the x term but keep the y coordinate the same.

So that means something like J(-2,5) becomes J ' (2, 5). The other points are handled in the same fashion and that leads us to choice (d). Points on the y axis will stay where they are.
