The price of ticket last year is $ 1231.65

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

This year, Sophia paid $1,071 for season tickets to her favorite baseball team , which is 15% cheaper than last year

To find: Price of season ticket last year

Let the price of season ticket last year be "x"

Therefore, according to question

Price of ticket this year is 15 % cheaper than price of ticket last year

1071 = price of ticket last year - 15 % of 1071

1071 = x - 15 % of 1071

Solve the above expression for "x"

$1071 = x - 15 \% \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - \frac{15}{100} \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - 0.15 \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - 160.65\\\\x = 1071 + 160.65\\\\x = 1231.65$

Thus price of ticket last year is $ 1231.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write our Givens

${x}^{2} + 10x - 7 = 0$

Move the constant term ,(the term with no variable) to the right side.

Here we have a negative 7, so we add 7 to both sides

${x}^{2} + 10x = 7$

Next, we take the linear coeffeicent and divide it by 2 then square it.

$( \frac{10}{2} ) {}^{2} = 25$

Then we add that to both sides

${x}^{2} + 10x + 25 = 7 + 25$

${ {x}^{2} } + 10x + 25 = 32$

Next, we factor the left,

$(x + 5)(x + 5) = 32$

we got 5 because 5 add to 10 and multiply to 25 as well.

so we get

$(x + 5) {}^{2} = 32$

This is called a perfect square trinomial.

Next, we take the square root of both sides

$x + 5 = ± \sqrt{32}$

± menas that we have a positive and negative solution.

Subtract 5 form both side so we get

$x = - 5± \sqrt{32}$

The greater solution is when sqr root of 32 is positive so the answer to that is

$\sqrt{32} - 5 = 0.7$

Use the arc length formula and the given information to find r. s = 12 cm, 0 = 360; r = ?

hjlf

use s=r0

but first convert 360 degree to radian
you will get 6.284 radian

then you substitute and get the answer!

12= r (6.284)
r= 1.91 cm
