John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of each general admission = $50
Cost of each VIP ticket = $55
Total tickets sold = 29
Total revenue generated = $1505
Let,
x represent the number of general admission tickets sold
y represent the number of VIP tickets.
x+y=29 Eqn 1
50x+55y=1505 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 5

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Let's use the right endpoints as our sampling points; they are given by the arithmetic sequence,

where
. Each interval has length

At these sampling points, the function takes on values of

We approximate the integral with the Riemann sum:

Recall that

so that the sum reduces to

Take the limit as <em>n</em> approaches infinity, and the Riemann sum converges to the value of the integral:

Just to check:

3/4 foot is 9 inches, and 4 1/2 feet is 54 inches, so, 54/9 makes exactly 6 pieces of string.
