Answer:

  • 455 adult tickets
  • 884 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 1339-a is the number of student tickets sold. The revenue collected was ...

  5a + 1(1339-a) = 3159

  4a = 1820 . . . . . . subtract 1339, collect terms

  a = 455 . . . . . . . . divide by 4; adult tickets sold

  (1339-a) = 884 . . . . student tickets sold

455 adult tickets and 884 student tickets were sold.

How much interest does Ms. Paris earn on an $1800 loan for 6 months with a simple interest rate of 8.5%?
ddd [48]

Answer:

$1136.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for exponential growth is f(x) = a(1 + r)^x where a is the initial value, r is the growth rate, and x is the number of time intervals.

We know that Mr. Paris starts with an $1800 initial value, so we can substitute that into the equation:

f(x)=1800(1 + r)^x

We also know the time intervals is 6 months. So that can be substituted as well:

f(x)=1800(1 + r)^6

They told you that the growth rate is 8.5%, which is 0.085 of 1.

f(x)=1800(1 + 0.085)^6

Add the 2 values in the parentheses and you get 1.085

f(x)=1800(1.085)^6

Now solve.

Order of operations requires you to raise 1.085 to the 6th power before multiplying by 1800. So then you have this:

1800(1.63146751) = 2936.64152. That rounds to 2936.60

So $2936.60 is the total amount of money in the bank account, but were looking for the interest earned, which is the difference between the end value and the initial value.

$2936.60 - $1800 = $1136.60

The product of four consecutive odd numbers(all four positive or all four negative)is 62985.find the two possible sets of four n
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the first number.

(X)*(X+2)*(X+4)*(X+6) = 62985

(X^2 + 6X)^2 + 8(X^2 + 6X) = 62985

X = 13, AND X= -19

A.  X = 13

(13)(15(17)(19) = 62985

B.  X = -19

(-19)(-17)(-15)(-13) = 62985

Is the following statement true? Explain.
sukhopar [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can prove the statement is false by proof of contradiction:

We know that cos0° = 1 and cos90° = 0.

Let A = 0° and B = 90°.

Left-Hand Side:

cos(A + B) = cos(0° + 90°) = cos90° = 0.

Right-Hand Side:

cos(A) + cos(B) = cos(0°) + cos(90°)

= 1 + 0 = 1.

Since LHS =/= RHS, by proof of contradiction,

the statement is false.
