The solution to this equation is: x<7
Answer:
y = 2(x + 3)² - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Using the method of completing the square
y = 2x² + 12x + 14 ← factor out 2 from the first 2 terms
= 2(x² + 6x) + 14
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 6x
y = 2(x² + 2(3)x + 9 - 9 ) + 14
= 2(x + 3)² - 18 + 14
= 2(x + 3)² - 4 ← in vertex form
A + c = 824 represents number of tickets to sell
20a + 12c = 13,344 represents cost of each type of ticket
multiply equation 1 by -12 to cancel the variable 'c' and solve for 'a'
-12(a + c = 824)
-12a - 12c = - 9888
20a + 12c = 13,344 add equations together
-----------------------------
8a = 3456 divide both sides by 8
a = 432
To find children's tickets substitute adult numbers back into equation 1.
a + c = 824
432 + c = 824
subtract 432 from both sides
c = 392
adult 432, children 392
