Answer:

Part a) $x+y < 400$

Part b) The graph in the attached figure

Part c) see the explanation

Part d) The number of seat tickets sold must be less than 300 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) write an inequality to describe the constraints. specify what each variable represents

Let

x ----> number of lawn tickets sold

y ----> number of seat tickets sold

we know that

The sum of the number of lawn tickets sold plus the number of seat tickets sold must be less than 400 tickets

The linear inequality that represent this situation is

$x+y < 400$

Part b) use graphing technology to graph the inequality. sketch the region on the coordinate plane

we have

$x+y < 400$

using a graphing tool

The solution is the triangular shaded area of positive integers (whole numbers) of x and y

see the attached figure

Remember that the values of x and y cannot be a negative number

Part c) name one solution to the inequality and explain what it represents in that situation

we know that

If a ordered pair lie on the solution of the inequality, then the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality (the ordered pair must satisfy the inequality)

I take the point (200,100)

The point (200,100) lie on the triangular shaded area of the solution

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

Substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and compare the result

For x=200,y=100

$x+y < 400$

$200+100 < 400$

$300 < 400$ --> is true

The ordered pair satisfy the inequality

therefore

The ordered pair is a solution of the inequality

That means ----> The number of lawn tickets sold was 200 and the number of seat tickets sold was 100

Part d) if you know that exactly 100 lawn tickets were sold, what can you say about the number of seat tickets?

we have that

x=100

substitute in the inequality

$100+y < 400$

solve for y

subtract 100 both sides

$y < 400-100$

$y < 300$

therefore

The number of seat tickets sold must be less than 300 tickets

Please help I don’t want to give up it’s getting hard

Answer:

144 goes with 12, 36 goes with 6, 9 goes with 3, and 121 goes with 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The second number stated in each phrase is time itself to create the first number. For example, 144. If we take the second number in the number phrase (12) and time it by itself (12 * 12) it equals 144. This applies to each number phrase.

The rainfall total this year was 10.2 inches, which is 20% less than last year's rainfall total. What was last year's rainfall t

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: 12.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent last year's rainfall.

Multiply by 0.8 since this year was 20% less.

x(0.8)= 10.2

x = 12.75

The perimeter of a rectangular 6-sided figure is 30 units, and the length of each side is x + 1 units. What is the value of x?

kiruha [24]

The value of x would be 6.5 because if you add 1 to 6.5 you get 7.5 and 7.5 multiplied by 4 is 30

Which of the following in an identity?

sammy [17]

By "which is an identity" they just mean "which trigonometric equation is true?"

What you have to do is take one of these and sort it out to an identity you know is true, or...

*FYI: You can always test identites like this:
Use the short angle of a 3-4-5 triangle, which would have these trig ratios:
sinx = 3/5 cscx = 5/3
cosx = 4/5 secx = 5/4
tanx = 4/3 cotx = 3/4
Then just plug them in and see if it works. If it doesn't, it can't be an identity!

Let's start with c, just because it seems obvious.
The Pythagorean identity states that sin²x + cos²x = 1, so this same statement with a minus is obviously not true.

Next would be d. csc²x + cot²x = 1 is not true because of a similar Pythagorean identity 1 + cot²x = csc²x. (if you need help remembering these identites, do yourslef a favor and search up the Magic Hexagon.)

Next is b. Here we have (cscx + cotx)² = 1. Let's take the square root of each side...cscx + cotx = 1. Now you should be able to see why this can't work as a Pythagorean Identity. There's always that test we can do for verification...5/3 + 3/4 ≠ 1, nor is (5/3 + 3/4)².

By process of elimination, a must be true. You can test w/ our example ratios:
sin²xsec²x+1 = tan²xcsc²x
(3/5)²(5/4)²+1 = (4/5)²(5/3)²
(9/25)(25/16)+1 = (16/25)(25/9)
(225/400)+1 = (400/225)
(9/16)+1 = (16/9)
(81/144)+1 = (256/144)
(81/144)+(144/144) = (256/144)
(256/144) = (256/144)

PLEASE HELP I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO MY MATH PROJECT THAT'S DUE IN AN HOUR

adelina 88 [10]

1. You will need 3 packs of tulips and 2 packs of geraniums.
2. You should have 18 flowers of each kind

Explanation:
1. To find the number of packets, the easiest way (in my opinion) would be to find the LCM (least common multiple)
To do so, first, you would need to list the factors of 6 and 9 in order
6: 6 12 18 24 30
9: 9 18 27 36 45

Then, you can find the LCM by finding the same number that comes first in each list (18)

2. To find how many packets, all you have to do is divide 18 by 6 and 18 by 9 because there are 6 flowers in one packet, and 9 flowers in the other.

Hope this helps!
