1. For the Summer R&B/Soul Festival, there is one price for students, one for adults, and another for senior citizens. The J

ackson family bought 3 student tickets and 2 adult tickets for $104. The Williams family bought 5 student tickets, 1 adult ticket, and 2 senior citizen tickets for $155. The Mullins family bought 2 of each for $126. a. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the cost of each ticket. b. Solve the system by elimination to find the cost of each ticket.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call student tickets s, adult tickets a and senior tickets c.  The equations for each family are as follows:

Jackson:  3s + 2a = 104

Williams:  5s + 1a + 2c = 155

Mullins:  2s + 2a + 2c = 126

To get started, let's solve the Jackson family equation for a:

2a = 104 - 3s so

a = 52 - 1.5s

Now we can use that a value in the Williams equation:

5s + 1(52 - 1.5s) + 2c = 155 and

5s + 52 - 1.5s + 2c = 155 and

3.5s + 2c = 103

We can also use that a value in the Mullins equation:

2s + 2(52 - 1.5s) + 2c = 126 and

2s + 104 - 3s + 2c = 126 so

-1s + 2c = 22

Solve the system that is in bold print now by multiplying the Mullins equation through by -1 to get a new system that looks like this:

  3.5s + 2c = 103

       1s - 2c = -22

The c's eliminate each other leaving us with only s's:

4.5s = 81 so

s = 18

The cost of a student ticket is $18.  Now use that $18 in place of s in the first bold equation above:

3.5(18) + 2c = 103 and

63 + 2c = 103 and

2c = 40 so

c = 20

The cost of a senor ticket is $20.  Now use both of those values in the Williams equation at the beginning to solve for a:

5(18) + 1a + 2(20) = 155 and

90 + 1a + 40 = 155 and

1a = 25

The cost of an adult ticket is $25

If f(x)=2x^2+(1000/x), find the average rate of change of f(x) from x=a to x=a+h.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

\frac{\frac{1000}{x+h}-\frac{1000}{x}}{h} is your average rate of change,

Step-by-step explanation:

average rate of change is

\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{a+h-a}, by slope formula

simplify this to get \frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}, which is the definition of the derivative as h goes to 0

\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}

since you defined x=a, we can substitute a for x and vice versa to find our derivative.

\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(2x^2+\frac{1000}{x+h})-(2x^2+\frac{1000}{x})}{h}

simplifying

\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{1000}{x+h}-\frac{1000}{x}}{h} (your average rate of change)

In a short answer, to find average you need to add it all up and divide by the number of things you added. Ex. say I want to find the average for my english class, my grades are 90, 98, 100, 87, and 70. I would start by adding them up  to get 445. then since i have 5 grades, i would divide the sum 445 by 5 and get an 89 as my average. 
         
         (Everything in this answer is example only, not my real grades.)
