Answer:

$9 adult
$5 child

Step-by-step explanation:

Letting "a" and "c" represent the costs of adult tickets and child tickets, the problem statement gives us two relations:

3a +5c = 52

2a +4c = 38

We can solve this system of equations using "elimination" as follows:

Dividing the first equation by 2 we get

a +2c = 19

Multiplying this by 3 and subtracting the first equation eliminates the "a" variable and tells us the price of a child ticket:

3(a +2c) -(3a +4c) = 3(19) -(52)

c = 5 . . . . . . collect terms

a +2·5 = 19 . . substitute for c in the 3rd equation above

a = 9 . . . . . . subtract 10

One adult ticket costs $9; one child ticket costs $5.

Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y) and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

$\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Open the bracket

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2} +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2} +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0 +0) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2} +\frac{27x}{3} ) \, dx = 1$

Add fraction

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6}) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6} \, dx = 1$

Rewrite;

$c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6}) \, dx = 1$

The $\frac{1}{6}$ is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

$c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

$\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81x^{2}}{2} (0,3) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{729}{2} = 1$

$\frac{729c}{12} = 1$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{12}{729}$

$c = \frac{12}{729}$

$c = 0.0165 (Approximately)$

Use the FOIL Method to find (x−4)(x+8).

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

$x^2 +4x - 32$

Step-by-step explanation:

By FOIL method, $(x-4)(x+8) = x \cdot x + x \cdot 8 + -4 \cdot x + -4 \cdot 8 = x^2 +4x - 32.$

Do 4.25 divided by 16 witch equals 0.2656625 but you have to round it to 0.27/oz. do 4.55 divided by 20 witch is 0.2275 but you have to round to 0.23/oz now witch is better 0.27 or 0.23 so a 4.55 dollars for a20 oz drink is the better buy
