Answer:

c = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is 73, that means we have:

(-1)^2-4*6*c=73

then: 1-24c=73

or -24c= 73 -1

-24c = 72

Then c = 72/-24= -3

The answer is -3

Compare the functions shown below:

To get the average rate of change, we simply have to use this formula:
ARC = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)

For the first function:
ARC = (64 - 0) / (4 - 0) = 16

For the second function, since it's a line, the ARC would just be equal to the slope
m = ARC = (-1 - 0) / (0 - (-2)) = -0.5

For the third function:
h(0) = 18
h(4) = 66
ARC = (66 - 18) / (4 - 0) = 12

Therefore, the order of the functions from lest to greatest according to the average rate of change on the interval from x= 0 to x = 4 is:
g(x)
h(x)
f(x)

Answer:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} a+s+r=350 \\ 4a+2.5s+2r=1095\\r=s-40 \end{array} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define our variables. Let a represent the number of adult tickets sold, s represent the number of senior tickets sold, and r represent the number of senior tickets sold.

We know that a total of 350 tickets were sold. So, the number of adult, student, and senior tickets sold must total 350. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

$a+s+r=350$

We know that each adult ticket costs $4, each student ticket costs $2.50, and each senior ticket costs $2. We are given that a total of $1095 was collected. Therefore, the number of tickets multiplied by their respective price must equal $1095. So, we can write the following equation:

$4a+2.5s+2r=1095$

Finally, we know that 40 fewer senior tickets were sold than student tickets. So, however many students tickets were sold, we can subtract 40 to get the number of senior tickets sold. Therefore:

$r=s-40$
