Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
S=student cost; T=teacher cost
.
32S+3T=$127 . Multiply this by 2.
64S+6T=$254 Subtract this below
.
25S+2T=$97.50 . Multiply this by 3.
75S+6T=$292.50
64S+6T=$254 . Subtract this (from above.)
.
11S=$38.50
S=$3.50
ANSWER 1: Student tickets cost $3.50.
.
32S+3T=$127
32($3.50)+3T=$127
$112+3T=$127
3T=$15
T=$5.00
ANSWER 2: Teacher tickets cost $5.00.
.
CHECK:
25S+2T=$97.50
25($3.50)+2($5.00)=$97.50
$87.50+$10.00=$97.50
$97.50=$97.50
Answer:
It is a perfect square. Explanation below.
Explanation:
Perfect squares are of the form
(
a
+
b
)
2
=
a
2
+
2
a
b
+
b
2
. In polynomials of x, the a-term is always x.(
(
x
+
c
)
2
=
x
2
+
2
c
x
+
c
2
)
x
2
+
8
x
+
16
is the given trinomial. Notice that the first term and the constant are both perfect squares:
x
2
is the square of x and 16 is the square of 4.
So we find that the first and last terms correspond to our expansion. Now we must check if the middle term,
8
x
is of the form
2
c
x
.
The middle term is twice the constant times x, so it is
2
×
4
×
x
=
8
x
.
Okay, we found out that the trinomial is of the form
(
x
+
c
)
2
, where
x
=
x
and
c
=
4
.
Let us rewrite it as
x
2
+
8
x
+
16
=
(
x
+
4
)
2
. Now we can say it is a perfect square, as it is the square of
(
x
+
4
)
.
