Answer:

461 adults and 864 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know students and adults attended. We will let s be the number of students and a be the number of adults. Since 1,325 tickets were purchased, then s+a=1325.

We also know that a total of $3,169 was collected and adult tickets cost $5 each and students cost $1 each. We can write 1s+5a=3169.

We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We first solve the first equation for s which is s=1325-a. Substitute s=1325-a into 1s+5a=3169. Simplify and isolate the variable a.

1(1325-a)+5a=3169

1325-a+5a=3169

1325+4a=3169

1325-1325+4a=3169-1325

4a=1844

a=461

This means that 461 adults attended and 864 students attended since 864+461=1325.

Factor sec^2x-secx+tan^2x
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

sec²(x) - sec(x) + tan²(x) = (sec(x) - 1)(2sec(x) + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

sec²(x) - sec(x) + tan²(x) =

= sec²(x) - sec(x) + [sec²(x) - 1]

= sec²(x) - sec(x) + [(sec(x) + 1)(sec(x) - 1)]

= sec(x)[sec(x) - 1] + [(sec(x) + 1)(sec(x) - 1)]

= (sec(x) - 1)(sec(x) + sec(x) + 1)

= (sec(x) - 1)(2sec(x) + 1)
