Let's call the number of student tickets they sold s, and the number of adult tickets they sold a.
The school sold 50 tickets in all, so a+s=50.
For every adult ticket they sold, they made $3, and for every student ticket, they made $2. So the total amount of money they made is 3a+2s. The problem tells us they made $135, so 3a+2s=135.
a + s = 50
3a + 2s = 135
This is a system of equations. We will proceed by changing the first equation, solving for a(we could solve for s instead, but I decided to solve for a). What this means is we will subtract s from both sides to get a alone.
a + s = 50
a = 50 - s
Now we know what a is(in terms of s, that is), so we can plug it into the second equation.
3a + 2s = 135
3(50 - s) + 2s = 135 (Remember to put the parentheses in!)
150 - 3s + 2s = 135
150 - s = 135
-s = -15
s = 15
This means 15 student tickets were sold. Plug this into one of the original equations to figure out how many adult tickets were sold:
a + s = 50
a + 15 = 50
a = 35
15 student tickets were sold, and 35 adult tickets were sold.

Determine the range of the following graph:
Vlada [557]

Answer as an inequality:    \boldsymbol{2 \le y \le 7}

Answer in interval notation: [2, 7]

==========================================================

Explanation:

The range is the set of all possible y outputs of a function.

The lowest point occurs when y = 2

The highest point occurs when y = 7

The range is the set of every y value between 2 and 7, including the endpoints.

The range as an inequality is 2 \le y \le 7

It is equivalent to [2, 7] in interval notation. The square brackets include each endpoint.

assume x and y are both differentiable functions of t. find dx/dt given x=-1 and dy/dt=8 for the relation: 4x^2+3y^3=28
melomori [17]

Given:

x and y are both differentiable functions of t.

4x^2+3y^3=28

x=-1\text{ and }\dfrac{dy}{dt}=8

To find:

The value of \dfrac{dx}{dt}.

Solution:

We have,

4x^2+3y^3=28       ...(i)

At x=-1,

4(-1)^2+3y^3=28

4+3y^3=28

3y^3=28-4

3y^3=24

Divide both sides by 3.

y^3=8

Taking cube root on both sides.

y=2

So, y=2 at x=-1.

Differentiate (i) with respect to t.

4(2x\dfrac{dx}{dt})+3(3y^2\dfrac{dy}{dt})=0

Putting x=-1, y=2 and \dfrac{dy}{dt}=8, we get

4(2(-1)\dfrac{dx}{dt})+3(3(2)^28)=0

-8\dfrac{dx}{dt}+9(4)(8)=0

-8(\dfrac{dx}{dt}-9(4))=0

Divide both sides by -8.

\dfrac{dx}{dt}-36=0

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=36

Therefore, the value of 4x^2+3y^3=28 is 36.

If the circumference of my circle is 25 inches and the diameter is 8 inches. How would I get 3.14
padilas [110]
What do you mean? Your answer wouldn't be 3.14, but you would need to use 3.14 in order to find the circumference of a circle.
