Answer:

<u>James sold 300 tickets for adults</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of tickets sold by James = 450

Cost of a child ticket = $ 2

Cost of an adult ticket =$ 5

Amount of money collected by James after selling the 450 tickets for the community play = $ 1,800

2. How many tickets for adults did James sell?

x = Number of adult tickets James sold

450 - x = Number of children tickets James sold

For solving for x, we write this equation:

5x + 2 * (450 - x)  = 1,800

5x + 900 - 2x = 1,800

3x = 1,800 - 900

3x = 900

x = 900/3 = 300

450 - x = 450 - 300 = 150

<u>James sold 300 tickets for adults and 150 for children</u>

Find the vertex of the graph of f(x) = x2 + 4x - 5.
Fofino [41]
You can solve this in two ways.

1. Graphical. Plot the graph for x between -5 and 1 (see attachement).
The vertex of the graph is the peak of the curve, which has the coordinates x=-2, y=-9.

2. Analytical. Calculate the derivative of the function f(x)
\frac{df}{dx}=2x+4
Solve the equation:
2x+4=0
will give the solution x=-2.
Replace x=-2 in the f(x) function and you'll get the value of y:
(-2)^2+4 \cdot (-2)-5=4-8-5=-9

You get the same answer: x=-2, y=-9

So the answer is
<span>B. (-2, -9)</span>
