The number of tickets sold in each class:

126 tickets sold in freshmen class

196 tickets sold in sophomore class

140 tickets sold in juniors class

238 tickets sold in seniors class

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of tickets sold in each class:

1. Find the percentage of tickets sold in each class

2. Find the total number of tickets sold

3. Multiply the percent of tickets sold in each class by the total number

of tickets sold

∵ The total number of tickets is 700 tickets

∵ The percentage of the tickets sold in freshmen class is 18%

∴ The number of tickets sold in freshmen class = $\frac{18}{100}*700$

∴ The number of tickets sold in freshmen class = 126 tickets

∵ The percentage of the tickets sold in sophomore class is 28%

∴ The number of tickets sold in sophomore class = $\frac{28}{100}*700$

∴ The number of tickets sold in sophomore class = 196 tickets

∵ The percentage of the tickets sold in juniors class is 20%

∴ The number of tickets sold in juniors class = $\frac{20}{100}*700$

∴ The number of tickets sold in juniors class = 140 tickets

∵ The percentage of the tickets sold in seniors class is 34%

∴ The number of tickets sold in seniors class = $\frac{34}{100}*700$

∴ The number of tickets sold in seniors class = 238 tickets

The number of tickets sold in each class:

126 tickets sold in freshmen class

196 tickets sold in sophomore class

140 tickets sold in juniors class

238 tickets sold in seniors class

An airplane’s altitude changed − 378 feet over 7 minutes. What was the mean change of altitude in feet per minute?

prohojiy [21]

The mean would be -92.75 due to the fact that -378 feet/7 minutes would equal the unit ratio of -92.75 feet/ 1minute or a mean of -92.75

Give four reasons why you think mathematics should be taught in primary schools

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Mathematics offers children a powerful way of communicating. They learn to explore and explain their ideas using symbols, diagrams and spoken and written language. Studying mathematics stimulates curiosity, fosters creativity and equips children with the skills they need in life beyond school.

What is a quick and easy way to remember explicit and recursive formulas?

Oliga [24]

I always found derivation to be helpful in remembering. Since this question is tagged as at the middle school level, I assume you've only learned about arithmetic and geometric sequences.

First, remember what these names mean. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which consecutive terms are increased by a fixed amount; in other words, it is an additive sequence. If $a_n$ is the $n$ th term in the sequence, then the next term $a_{n+1}$ is a fixed constant (the common difference $d$ ) added to the previous term. As a recursive formula, that's

$a_{n+1}=a_n+d$

This is the part that's probably easier for you to remember. The explicit formula is easily derived from this definition. Since $a_{n+1}=a_n+d$ , this means that $a_n=a_{n-1}+d$ , so you plug this into the recursive formula and end up with

$a_{n+1}=(a_{n-1}+d)+d=a_{n-1}+2d$

You can continue in this pattern, since every term in the sequence follows this rule:

$a_{n+1}=a_{n-1}+2d$
$a_{n+1}=(a_{n-2}+d)+2d$
$a_{n+1}=a_{n-2}+3d$
$a_{n+1}=(a_{n-3}+d)+3d$
$a_{n+1}=a_{n-3}+4d$

and so on. You start to notice a pattern: the subscript of the earlier term in the sequence (on the right side) and the coefficient of the common difference always add up to $n+1$ . You have, for example, $(n-2)+3=n+1$ in the third equation above.

Continuing this pattern, you can write the formula in terms of a known number in the sequence, typically the first one $a_1$ . In order for the pattern mentioned above to hold, you would end up with

$a_{n+1}=a_1+nd$

or, shifting the index by one so that the formula gives the $n$ th term explicitly,

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

Now, geometric sequences behave similarly, but instead of changing additively, the terms of the sequence are scaled or changed multiplicatively. In other words, there is some fixed common ratio $r$ between terms that scales the next term in the sequence relative to the previous one. As a recursive formula,

$a_{n+1}=ra_n$

Well, since $a_n$ is just the term after $a_{n-1}$ scaled by $r$ , you can write

$a_{n+1}=r(ra_{n-1})=r^2a_{n-1}$

Doing this again and again, you'll see a similar pattern emerge:

$a_{n+1}=r^2a_{n-1}$
$a_{n+1}=r^2(ra_{n-2})$
$a_{n+1}=r^3a_{n-2}$
$a_{n+1}=r^3(ra_{n-3})$
$a_{n+1}=r^4a_{n-3}$

and so on. Notice that the subscript and the exponent of the common ratio both add up to $n+1$ . For instance, in the third equation, $3+(n-2)=n+1$ . Extrapolating from this, you can write the explicit rule in terms of the first number in the sequence:

$a_{n+1}=r^na_1$

or, to give the formula for $a_n$ explicitly,

$a_n=r^{n-1}a_1$
