The school that Emily goes to is selling tickets to a fall musical. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold24 adult tic

kets and 3 student tickets for a total of $223.00. The school took in $152 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and 6 student tickets. What is the price each of one adult ticket and one student ticket?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of one adult ticket.

Let y represent the price of one student ticket.

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 24 adult tickets and 3 student tickets for a total of $223.00. This means that

24x + 3y = 223 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The school took in $152 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and 6 student tickets. This means that

7x + 6y = 152 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

144x + 18y = 1338

21x + 18y = 456

Subtracting, it becomes

123x = 882

x = 882/123

x = 7.17

Substituting x = 7.17 into equation 2, it becomes

7 × 7.17 + 6y = 152

50.19 + 6y = 152

6y = 152 - 50.19 = 101.81

y = 101.81/6 = 16.97

Solve K = 1/2 mv^2 for m

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:m=2k/v^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you should do is divide 1/2 on both sides. Now you have 2k=mv^2. Then divide v^2 from each side and you get a final answer of (2k/v^2)=m

Can someone please help me with this question?

saw5 [17]

(0, 9) represents the y-intercept of the graph.

Since the slope is 1/3, this means that y will rise 1 for every 3 that x runs.

The points that can be used to make a line in this graph are (3, 10) and (6, 11).

A swimming pool at a park measures 9.75 meters by 7.2 meters.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Part a) The area of the swimming pool is $70.2\ m^2$

Part b) The total area of the swimming pool and the playground is $105.3\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Find the area of the swimming pool

we know that

The area of the swimming pool is

$A=LW$

where

L is the length side

W is the width side

we have

$L=9.75\ m\\W=7.2\ m$

substitute the values

$A=(9.75)(7.2)$

$A=70.2\ m^2$

therefore

The area of the swimming pool is $70.2\ m^2$

Part b) The area of the playground is one and a half times that of the swimming pool. Find the total area of the swimming pool and the playground

we know that

To obtain the area of the playground multiply the area of the swimming pool by one and a half

$\frac{1}{2}(70.2)=35.1\ m^2$

To obtain the total area of the swimming pool and the playground, adds the area of the swimming pool and the area of the playground

so

$70.2\ m^2+35.1\ m^2=105.3\ m^2$

therefore

The total area of the swimming pool and the playground is $105.3\ m^2$

What is the completely factored form of f(x)=x^3+4x^2+7x+6?

Reptile [31]

we are given

$f(x)=x^3+4x^2+7x+6$

We will use rational root theorem to find factors

We can see that

Leading coefficient =1

constant term is 6

so, we will find all possible factors of 6

$6=\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 3,\pm 6$

now, we will check each terms

At x=-2:

We can use synthetic division

we get

$f(-2)=0$

so, x+2 will be factor

and we can write our expression from synthetic division as

$f(x)=x^3+4x^2+7x+6=(x+2)(x^2+2x+3)$

$f(x)=(x+2)(x^2+2x+3)$

now, we can find factor of remaining terms

$x^2+2x+3=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}$

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

we can compare our equation with quadratic equation

we get

$a=1,b=2,c=3$

now, we can plug these values

$x=\frac{-2+\sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x=-1+\sqrt{2}i$

$x=\frac{-2-\sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x=-1-\sqrt{2}i$

so, we get

$x=-1+\sqrt{2}i,\:x=-1-\sqrt{2}i$

so, we can write factor as

$x^2+2x+3=(x-(-1+\sqrt{2}i))(x-(-1-\sqrt{2}i))$

so, we get completely factored form as

$f(x)=(x+2)(x-(-1+\sqrt{2}i))(x-(-1-\sqrt{2}i))$ ...............Answer
