Jillian’s school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales for

opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation 10.50a + 3.75b = 2071.50, where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students attended, how may adult tickets were sold?

168 adult tickets were sold

Answer: There are 168 adult tickets that were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets were sold be 'a'.

Let the number of student tickets were sold be 'b'.

Since we have given that

The ticket sales for opening night totaled as

10.50a+3.75b=2071.50

And the number of students attended  = 82

so, b = 82

So, we will put the value of b in the above equation:

10.50a+3.75\times 82=2071.50\\\\10.50a+307.5=2071.50\\\\0.50a=2071.50-307.5\\\\10.50a=1764\\\\a=\dfrac{1764}{10.50}\\\\a=168

Hence, there are 168 adult tickets that were sold.

A stone is launched into the air from a height of 240 feet. The height, h, of the stone, in feet, t seconds after launch is give
rosijanka [135]

A projectile is an object <u>launched</u> into space, and moving under the <em>influence</em> of <u>gravity</u> and <u>momentum</u>. The <em>stone</em> here is an example. Thus, the <em>time</em> taken for the stone to reach the ground is 10 seconds.

On <em>launching</em> of the stone into <u>space</u>, it behaves as a <u>projectile</u>. Thus moving under the <em>influence</em> of gravity and its momentum. Its <u>momentum</u> is the <em>product</em> of its <u>mass </u>and <u>velocity</u>.

The height h, is given as:

h = 16t^{2} + 32t + 240

Differentiating the expression with respect to t, we have;

32t + 32 = 0

t = -1 seconds

Substitute the value of time, t, in the equation for the height;

h = 16 - 32 + 240

  = 224

h = 224 m

Total height, S = 240 + 224

                         = 464

S = 464 m

The total height covered by the stone is 464 m.

From the second equation of <em>free fall</em>,

S = Ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

S = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

464 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^{2}

t^{2} = \frac{928}{9.8}

  = 94.694

t = \sqrt{94.694}

 = 9.7311

t ≅ 10 seconds

The <em>time taken</em> for the stone to hit the ground is 10 seconds.

Thus option A is the required answer.

Which is the parent function of y=√5x+6
Ostrovityanka [42]
Hi there! The answer is D.

The parent function is the simplest form of a function. We can distinguish a variety of parent functions like linear, exponential, square root, absolute, logarithmic, quadratic, cubic, rational or constant (trigonometric functions excluded).

Now we can have a look at the function.
y =  \sqrt{5x  + 6}

The thing that is the most important in this function is the square root, because this mainly decides the way the function looks. Therefore, the parent function is the simplest form of a square root function, which is the following:
y =  \sqrt{x}

Therefore the answer is D.
