Answer: you sold 10 adult tickets and 11 children tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that you sold.

Let y represent the number of children tickets that you sold.

You sold a total of 21 tickets. This means that

x + y = 21

Admission prices are six dollars for adults and four dollars for children. You sell tickets for admission to your school play and collect a total of $104. This means that

6x + 4y = 104 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 21 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(21 - y) + 4y = 104

126 - 6y + 4y = 104

- 6y + 4y = 104 - 126

- 2y = - 22

y = - 22/ -2 = 11

Substituting y = 11 into x = 21 - y, it becomes

x = 21 - 11 = 10

Find the exact values of the remaining five trigonometric functions of o satisfying the given conditions.

Lyrx [107]

First, tan(<em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) / cos(<em>θ</em>), so if cos(<em>θ</em>) = 3/5 > 0 and tan(<em>θ</em>) < 0, then it follows that sin(<em>θ</em>) < 0.

Recall the Pythagorean identity:

sin²(<em>θ</em>) + cos²(<em>θ</em>) = 1

Then

sin(<em>θ</em>) = -√(1 - cos²(<em>θ</em>)) = -4/5

and so

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (-4/5) / (3/5) = -4/3

The remaining trig ratios are just reciprocals of the ones found already:

sec(<em>θ</em>) = 1/cos(<em>θ</em>) = 5/3

csc(<em>θ</em>) = 1/sin(<em>θ</em>) = -5/4

cot(<em>θ</em>) = 1/tan(<em>θ</em>) = -3/4

A box contains 3 green marbles, 5 blue marbles, and 7 red marbles. Three marbles are selected at random from the box, one at a t

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The probability is $P(K) = \frac{ 28 }{195}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of green marbles is $n_g = 3$

The number of red marbles is $n_b = 5$

The number of red marbles is $n_r = 7$

Generally the total number of marbles is mathematically represented as

$n_t = n_r + n_g + n_ b$

$n_t = 7 + 3 + 5$

$n_t = 5$

Generally total number of marbles that are not red is

$n_k = n_g + n_ b$

=> $n_k = 3 + 5$

=> $n_k = 8$

The probability of the first ball not being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r') = \frac{n_k}{n_t}$

=> $P(r') = \frac{ 8}{15}$

The probability of the second ball not being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r'') = \frac{n_k - 1}{n_t -1}$

=> $P(r'') = \frac{ 8 -1 }{15-1}$ (the subtraction is because the marbles where selected without replacement )

=> $P(r'') = \frac{ 7 }{14}$

The probability that the first two balls is not red is mathematically represented as

$P(R) = P(r') * P(r'')$

=> $P(R) = \frac{ 8}{15} * \frac{ 7 }{14}$

=> $P(R) = \frac{ 8 }{30}$

The probability of the third ball being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r) = \frac{n_r}{ n_t -2}$ (the subtraction is because the marbles where selected without replacement )

$P(r) = \frac{7}{ 15 -2}$

=> $P(r) = \frac{7}{ 13}$

Generally the probability of the first two marble not being red and the third marble being red is mathematically represented as

$P(K) = P(R) * P(r)$

$P(K) = \frac{ 8 }{30} * \frac{7}{ 13}$

=> $P(K) = \frac{ 28 }{195}$
