Answer:

An adult ticket is 17

A childs ticket costs 12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult price

c = child price

3a + 4c = 99

2a + 3c = 70

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(3a + 4c) = 99*2

6a + 8c = 198

Multiply the second equation by -3

-3 (2a + 3c) = 70*-3

-6a -9c = -210

Add these new equations together

6a + 8c = 198

-6a -9c = -210

----------------------

     -c = -12

Multiply by -1

        c = 12

A childs ticket costs 12 dollars

Now we need to find the price of an adult ticket

2a + 3c = 70

2a + 3(12) = 70

2a +36 = 70

Subtract 36 from each side

2a +36-36 =70-36

2a = 34

Divide by 2

2a/2 = 34/2

a = 17

An adult ticket is 17

In a University of Wisconsin (UW) study about alcohol abuse among students, 100 of the 40,858 members of the student body in Mad
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a) The population is 40,858 students and the sample is 100.

b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The population would be the 40,858 members of the student body. Since we are only applying the questionnaire to 100 students, the sample would be 100.

b) 29% of the students answered "zero" to the question on how many days in the past week they consumed at least one alcoholic drink. This means that 29 out of 100 students gave this answer. However, this doesn't mean that 29% of the entire population of UW would give this response. Why is that? Because our sample is very small so it might not be representative of the whole population. Equally, the results from such a sample cannot be exactly the same results we would get from an entire population.

. William fills 1/3 of a water bottle in 1/6 of a minute. How much time will it
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

It will take him

\frac{1}{2}

of a minute to fill the bottle.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm really not sure this is right but..

we can solve using proportions. Cross-multiply and divide.

\frac{ \frac{1}{3} of \: a \: water \: bottle}{\frac{1}{6} minute} \:  =  \frac{ \frac{3}{3} of \: a \: water \: bottle}{x}  \\  \\  \frac{ \frac{1}{6} }{ \frac{1}{3} }  =  \frac{ \frac{1}{3} x}{ \frac{1}{3} }  \\  \\  \frac{1}{2}  = x

Which of the following is the graph of the rational function? y=x^2+2x-8/x^2-9
rusak2 [61]
Notice that we can simplify both numerator and denominator of our rational function. In the numerator we have a quadratic expression of the form ax^2+bx+c. To to simplify it, we are going to find tow numbers that add to 2 and multiply to -8; those numbers are 4 and -2.
x^2+2x-8=(x+4)(x-2)
In the denominator we have a difference of squares:
x^2-9=x^2-3^2=(x+3)(x-3)

Now we can rewrite our function:
y= \frac{x^2+2x-8}{x^2-9} = \frac{(x+4)(x-2)}{(x+3)(x-3)}

From the simplified form of our rational function we can infer that its graph has two vertical asymptotes at x=3 and x-3

We can conclude that the graphic of our rational function is:
