Answer: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let adults tickets be denoted by a

Let student tickets be denoted by s

On the first day of tickets sale, there were 10 adult tickets and 11 students tickets sold for a total of $190. This will be:

10a + 11s = 190

The second day, there were a total of $160 worth of tickets, 5 adult tickets and 12 student tickets. This will be:

5a + 12s = 160

We combine both equations

10a + 11s = 190 .......... equation i

5a + 12s = 160 ........... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 10

50a + 55s = 950 ....... equation iii

50a + 120s= 1600 ........ equation iv

Subtract equation iv from iii

50a + 55s = 950

- 50a + 120s= 1600

-65s = -650

65s= 650

Divide both side by 65

s = 10

The price for the student's ticket is $10.

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 – 10x – 3?

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$x=\frac{50+\sqrt{31}}{2},\frac{50-\sqrt{31}}{2}$ are zeroes of given quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been a quadratic equation:

$2x^2-10x-3$

We need to find the zeroes of quadratic equation

We have a formula to find zeroes of a quadratic equation:

$x=\frac{b^2\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}\text{where}D=\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$

General form of quadratic equation is $ax^2+bx+c$

On comparing general equation with b given equation we get

a=2,b=-10,c=-3

On substituting the values in formula we get

$D=\sqrt{(-10)^2-4(2)(-3)}$

$\Rightarrow D=\sqrt{100+24}=\sqrt{124}$

Now substituting D in $x=\frac{b^2\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$ we get

$x=\frac{(-10)^2\pm\sqrt{124}}{2\cdot 2}$

$x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{124}}{4}$

$x=\frac{100\pm2\sqrt{31}}{4}$

$x=\frac{50\pm\sqrt{31}}{2}$

Therefore, $x=\frac{50+\sqrt{31}}{2},\frac{50-\sqrt{31}}{2}$
