Let the number of adult tickets sold equal a.
Let the number of student tickets sold equal s.

The cost of the adult tickets sold is 6a.
The cost of the student tickets sold is 3s.
The total sales was $660, so we have our first equation:
6a + 3s = 660

25 more student tickets than adult tickets were sold.
That gives us our second equation
s = a + 25

We have a system of equations.

6a + 3s = 660
s = a + 25

Since the second equation is already solved for s, we can use the substitution method. Replace s of the first equation with a + 25 and solve for a.

6a + 3(a + 25) = 660

6a + 3a + 75 = 660

9a = 585

a = 65

65 adult tickets were sold.
Now we find the number of student tickets sold.

s = a + 25 = 65 + 25 = 90

Answer: The number of student tickets sold was 90.

Answer:

\displaystyle{\frac{d}{dx} \int \limits_{2x}^{x^2}  t^2+1 \ \text{dt} \ = \ 2x^5-8x^2+2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle{\frac{d}{dx} \int \limits_{2x}^{x^2}  t^2+1 \ \text{dt} = \ ?

We can use Part I of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:

  • \displaystyle\frac{d}{dx} \int\limits^x_a \text{f(t) dt = f(x)}

Since we have two functions as the limits of integration, we can use one of the properties of integrals; the additivity rule.

The Additivity Rule for Integrals states that:

  • \displaystyle\int\limits^b_a \text{f(t) dt} + \int\limits^c_b \text{f(t) dt} = \int\limits^c_a \text{f(t) dt}

We can use this backward and break the integral into two parts. We can use any number for "b", but I will use 0 since it tends to make calculations simpler.

  • \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \int\limits^0_{2x} t^2+1 \text{ dt} \ + \ \frac{d}{dx} \int\limits^{x^2}_0 t^2+1 \text{ dt}

We want the variable to be the top limit of integration, so we can use the Order of Integration Rule to rewrite this.

The Order of Integration Rule states that:

  • \displaystyle\int\limits^b_a \text{f(t) dt}\  = -\int\limits^a_b \text{f(t) dt}

We can use this rule to our advantage by flipping the limits of integration on the first integral and adding a negative sign.

  • \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} -\int\limits^{2x}_{0} t^2+1 \text{ dt} \ + \ \frac{d}{dx}  \int\limits^{x^2}_0 t^2+1 \text{ dt}  

Now we can take the derivative of the integrals by using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

When taking the derivative of an integral, we can follow this notation:

  • \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \int\limits^u_a \text{f(t) dt} = \text{f(u)} \cdot \frac{d}{dx} [u]
  • where u represents any function other than a variable

For the first term, replace \text{t} with 2x, and apply the chain rule to the function. Do the same for the second term; replace

  • \displaystyle-[(2x)^2+1] \cdot (2) \ + \ [(x^2)^2 + 1] \cdot (2x)  

Simplify the expression by distributing 2 and 2x inside their respective parentheses.

  • [-(8x^2 +2)] + (2x^5 + 2x)
  • -8x^2 -2 + 2x^5 + 2x

Rearrange the terms to be in order from the highest degree to the lowest degree.

  • \displaystyle2x^5-8x^2+2x-2

This is the derivative of the given integral, and thus the solution to the problem.
