For this case we have the following equation:
 f (x) = x ^ 2 + bx-49
 Deriving we have:
 f '(x) = 2x + b
 We match zero:
 0 = 2x + b
 We clear x:
 x = -b / 2
 The axis of symmetry is at x = 8, therefore:
 x = -b / 2 = 8
 Clearing b:
 b = -2 * (8)
 b = -16
 Answer:
 
the value of b is:
 
b = -16

It cost 5 dollars for a child ticket and 8 dollars for a adult ticket. Total tickets sold were 110 bringing in 820 dollars? How
omeli [17]

Number of child tickets bought is 20

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that It cost 5 dollars for a child ticket and 8 dollars for a adult ticket

cost of each child ticket = 5 dollars

cost of each adult ticket = 8 dollars

Let "c" be the number of child tickets bought

Let "a" be the number of adult tickets bought

Total tickets sold were 110 bringing in 820 dollars

<em>Number of child tickets bought + number of adult tickets bought = 110</em>

c + a = 110 ----- eqn 1

<em><u>Also we can frame a equation as:</u></em>

Number of child tickets bought x cost of each child ticket + number of adult tickets bought x cost of each adult ticket = 820

c \times 5 + a \times 8 = 820

5c + 8a = 820 -------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "c" and "a"

From eqn 1,

a = 110 - c  ------ eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

5c + 8(110 - c) = 820

5c + 880 - 8c = 820

-3c = - 60

c = 20

Therefore from eqn 3,

a = 110 - 20 = 90

a = 90

Therefore number of child tickets bought is 20

Answer:

Part 1. 50 and 17 denotes that he earns $50 for each shift he works at the dinner and $17 for each dog-walking job.

Variable x denotes the number of shifts at the dinner and y variable denotes the number of dog -walking job.

Part 2. The income from shift of work at the diner that is 50x, and the income from dog walking work that is 17y.

Part 3. The total income from the diner is given by 50x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each week, Aubrey earns $50 for every shift he works at the diner and $17 for every dog-walking job.  

He uses the expression (50x + 17y) to keep track of his earning.

Part 1. Here the coefficient of the expressions 50 and 17 denotes that he earns $50 for each shift he works at the dinner and $17 for each dog-walking job.

And the variable x denotes the number of shifts at the dinner and y variable denotes the number of dog -walking jobs.

Part 2. Therefore, there are two terms in the expression, one is the income from the shift of work at the diner that is 50x and the other is the income from dog walking work that is 17y.

Part 3. The total income from the diner is given by 50x. (Answer)
