Step 1: Find the slope of 3x - 7y = 6

 3x - 7y = 6
- 3x        -3x
___________
-7y = -3x + 6
-------------------
          -7

y = 3/7 x - 7/6

So the slope from this equation is 3/7. Since the line is going to be perpendicular, this slope needs to be the opposite reciprocal. In order to do this, you need to flip 3/7 upside down and make it negative.

Step 2: Use point - slope form to find the y - intercept from the ordered pair
(0, -6/7).

Formula for point - slope form is y - y1 = m (x - x1)

      y - (-6/7) = -7/3 (x - 0)
      y + 6/7 = -7/3 (x - 0)
      y + 6/7 = -7/3x + 0
         -6/7             -6/7
----------------------------------
       y = -7/3x - 6/7

This step proves that the y - intercept has to be -6/7.

Step 3: Your final answer should be y = -7/3 - 6/7.

140 tickets sold at the door

Step by Step Explanation:

x = tickets sold in advance
y = tickets sold at the door

We use the formula ax+by=c and a+b=c

x + y = 514
17x + 20y = 9158

y = 514 - x
17x + 20(514 - x)
17x + 10,280 - 20x = 9,158
-3x + 10,280 = 9,158
-3x = -11222
x = 374

This is for tickets sold in advance so we need to find y

374 + y = 514
y = 140

140 tickets were sold at the door

Lunna [17]

Answer:

A: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. A set of data may have one mode, more than one mode, or no mode at all. ... The mode can be the same value as the mean and/or median, but this is usually not the case

At most, how many unique roots will a third-degree polynomial function have?
beks73 [17]

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.

In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.

So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.

In fact, in general, if the polynomial p(x) has solutions x_1,\ x_2,\ldots x_n, then you can factor it as

p(x) = (x-x_1)(x-x_2)\ldots (x-x_n)

So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as

p(x)=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)(x-x_4)

But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.
