48 adult tickets and 24 children tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one adult ticket = $8

Cost of one child ticket = $3

Total worth of sold tickets = $456

Let,

Number of adult tickets sold = x

Number of child ticket sold = y

According to given statement;

8x+3y=456     Eqn 1

x = 2y              Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

8(2y)+3y=456\\16y+3y=456\\19y=456

Dividing both sides by 19

\frac{19y}{19}=\frac{456}{19}\\y=24

Putting y=24 in Eqn 2

x=2(24)\\x=48

48 adult tickets and 24 children tickets were sold.

What is the relationship between a rotation and a reflection? Sketch a diagram that supports your explanation.
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Relationship between rotation and reflection:

In reflection, the pre-image gets flips across the same line.

whereas in rotation, the pre-image get spin around a point.

Rotations can be represented as two reflections i.e. the composition of reflections over two intersecting lines is always equal to rotation of that object.

In rotation, the object will get turned, this is turning some degree either clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Hence, rotation requires spinning and reflection requires flipping.

I need the function for the volume of the box for number 1
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectanguiar shape like this one is V = L * W * H, where the letters represent Length, Width and Height.  Here L is the longest dimension and is 28 - 2x; W is the width and is 22-2x; and finally, x is the height.  Thus, the volume of this box must be

V(x) = (28 - 2x)*(22 - 2x)*x

and we want to maximize V(x).  

One way of doing that is to graph V(x) and look for any local maximum of the graph.  We'd want to determine the value of x for which V(x) is a maximum.

Another way, for those who know some calculus, is to use the first and second derivatives to identify the value of  x at which V is at a maximum.

I have provided the function that you requested.  If you'd like for us to go all the way to a solution, please repost your question.
