To find the answer, set up a system of equations.

Let x=adult tickets and y=senior citizen tickets.

x+y=556
22x+12y=8492

Change the first equation to make it easy to combine with the second equation.

y=556-x

Now substitute (556-x) for y in the second equation.

22x+12(556-x)=8492

Simplify and combine like terms.

22x+6672-12x=8492
10x=1820
x=182

182 adult tickets were sold, so to solve for the number of senior citizen tickets sold, subtract 182 from 556.

556-182=374

374 senior citizen tickets were sold.

Find the value of BC. HELP PLEASE!!
Masteriza [31]

It's an equilateral triangle, therefore

AB = BC = BA

We have the equation:

\dfrac{3}{2}x-12=\dfrac{1}{2}x-2\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\3x-24=1x-4\qquad\text{add 24 to both sides}\\\\3x=x+20\qquad\text{subtract x from both sides}\\\\2x=20\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x=10

BC=BA\to BC=\dfrac{1}{2}(10)-2=5-2=3

<h3>Answer: BC = 3</h3>

Find a polynomial with zeros at x=2,x=-1 and x=0
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

f(x) = x^3 - x^2 -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = a is a zero of a polynomial, then x-a is a factor of the polynomial. Given the factors of a polynomial, the polynomial can be obtained by multiplying the factors.

The factors of the given polynomial are;

x - 2

x + 1

x

Multiplying the first two factors;

(x-2)(x+1) = x^2 + x -2x -2

              = x^2 -x -2

We finally multiply this result by x to obtain our polynomial;

f(x) = x ( x^2 -x -2)

      = x^3 - x^2 -2x

which is a cubic polynomial since it has 3 roots.
