There are 83 full price and 140 half-price admissions.

There are 83 full price and 140 half-price admissions.

Two equations needed : x + y = 223 and 5x + 2.5y = 765

Use the first equation, x + y = 223 and rearrange it to fit the problem and substitute : y = 223 - x

5x + 2.5(223 - x) = 765

5x + 557.5 - 2.5x = 765

2.5x + 557.5 = 765

2.5x = 765 - 557.5

2.5x = 207.5

2.5x ÷ 2.4 = 207.5 ÷ 2.5

x = 83

_______________________


Now just subtract 223 and 83 to get the others:

223 - 83 = 140

Write a polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients that has the given zeros. -5, 3i
Virty [35]

Solving for the polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients whose zeros are -5, 3i

 

We have:
x = -5

Then x + 5 = 0

Therefore one of the factors of the polynomial function is (x + 5)


Also, we have:
x = 3i
Which can be rewritten as:
x = Sqrt(-9)
Square both sides of the equation:
x^2 = -9
x^2 + 9 = 0

Therefore one of the factors of the polynomial function is (x^2 + 9)


The polynomial function has factors: (x + 5)(x^2 + 9)
= x(x^2 + 9) + 5(x^2 + 9)

= x^3 + 9x + 5x^2 = 45

Therefore, x^3 + 5x^2 + 9x – 45 = 0

f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 9x – 45

 

The polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients that has the given zeros, -5, 3i is f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 9x – 45
