There would be 12 people at the party!
In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n.
Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.
This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.
Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 + 2 = + 3 = +... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.
Hope this helps!
Answer: OPTION A.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can observe that in the figure CDEF the vertices are:
And in the figure C'D'E'F' the vertices are:
For this case, you can divide any coordinate of any vertex of the figure C'D'E'F' by any coordinate of any vertex of the figure CDEF:
For C'(-8,-4) and C(-2,-1):
Let's choose another vertex. For E'(8,8) and E(2,2):
You can observe that the coordinates of C' are obtained by multiplying each coordinate of C by 4 and the the coordinates of E' are also obtained by multiplying each coordinate of E by 4.
Therefore, the rule that yields the dilation of the figure CDEF centered at the origin is:
→
Similarities: They both are polynomials of degree 2, both of their graphs is a parabola, both have either 2 or 0 real solutions, they are both continuous functions over R
(DOS= difference of two squares, PST=perfect square trinomial
Differences: PST has three terms, whereas the difference of squares has 2. PST's factors are both the same, whereas DOS's elements are conjugates of each other. DOS can always be factored into two distinct polynomials with rational coefficients, whereas PST has two same polynomial factors.
Answer:
42 child and 70 adult
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of adult tickets
c = number of child tickets
a+c = 112
2.25a + 1.75c = 231
Solve the first equation for a
a = 112-c
Substitute this into the second equation
2.25(112-c) + 1.75c = 231
Distribute
252 - 2.25c +1.75c = 231
Combine like terms
252 -.5c = 231
Subtract 252 from each side
252-252 -.5c = 231-252
-.5c = -21
Divide each side by -.5
-.5c/-.5 = -21/ -.5
c = 42
Now can find a
a = 112-c
a = 112-42
a = 70
