Answer:

Adult tickets =125

Child tickets = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively

So that

x+y= 253--------1

Since total sales/receipt is $2,771

And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence

15x+7y= 2771-------2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have

x+y= 253---------------1

15x+7y= 2771----------2

Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3

15x+15y=3795---------3

-{15x+7y= 2771----------2

0+8y=1024

8y= 1024

y= 1024/8

y= 128 tickets

So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1

x+ 128=253

x=253-128

x= 125 tickets

Write a polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients that has the given zeros. -5, 3i
Virty [35]

Solving for the polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients whose zeros are -5, 3i

 

We have:
x = -5

Then x + 5 = 0

Therefore one of the factors of the polynomial function is (x + 5)


Also, we have:
x = 3i
Which can be rewritten as:
x = Sqrt(-9)
Square both sides of the equation:
x^2 = -9
x^2 + 9 = 0

Therefore one of the factors of the polynomial function is (x^2 + 9)


The polynomial function has factors: (x + 5)(x^2 + 9)
= x(x^2 + 9) + 5(x^2 + 9)

= x^3 + 9x + 5x^2 = 45

Therefore, x^3 + 5x^2 + 9x – 45 = 0

f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 9x – 45

 

The polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients that has the given zeros, -5, 3i is f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 9x – 45

To find the ratio of centimeters to meters you need to divide 66 by 33 to get 2.
Then multiply 2727 by 2 to get 5454.
