Greetings from Brasil...

According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation

X = 7 + 3Y i

X + Y = 75 ii

So, multiplying ii by -1 and adding with i

X = 7 + 3Y

- X - Y = - 75

- Y = 7 + 3Y - 75

4Y = 68

Y = 17

for X we will use ii:

X + Y = 75

X + 17 = 75

X = 58

The smaller number is: 17

Tickets for a certain show cost ​$17​, ​$21​, ​or, for VIP​ seats, ​$40. If ten times as many ​$17 tickets were sold as VIP​ tic
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Tickets sold:

VIP =126

$17 tickets =1,260

$21 tickets =9\cdot 126+57=1,191

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of VIP tickets.  

If ten times as many ​$17 tickets were sold as VIP​ tickets, then the number of $17 tickets is 10x.

If the number of ​$17 tickets sold was 57 more than the sum of the number of ​$21 tickets and VIP​ tickets, then 10x+57=x+y and the number y of $21 tickets is 9x+57.

Amounts earned:

VIP tickets =\$40x

$17 tickets =\$17\cdot 10x=\$170x

$21 tickets =\$21\cdot (9x+57)=\$(189x+1,197)

Total =\$(40x+170x+189x+1,197)=\$(399x+1,197)

The sales of all three kinds of tickets would total ​$51,471, so

399x+1,197=51,471\\ \\399x=51,471-1,197\\ \\399x=50,274\\ \\x=126

Tickets sold:

VIP =126

$17 tickets =1,260

$21 tickets =9\cdot 126+57=1,191

Suppose f '' is continuous on (−[infinity], [infinity])
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function f(x) is continuous on (-\infty,\infty).

1.f'(-1)=0 and f''(-1)=-7

We have to find information about f.

When f'(-1)=0 and f''(-1)=-7 < 0

Then, function is maximum at x=-1.

Therefore, at x=-1, f has local maximum.

Answer:a)at x=-1 ,f has local maximum.

2.) if f'(4)=0 and f''(4)=0

We know that when f''(x)=0 then test fails  then the function has not maximum or minimum.

Therefore, at x=4 , f has not a maximum or minimum.

Answer:c) at x=4, f has not a maximum or minimum.
