Answer:

<u>188 children</u> and <u>145 adults</u> were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

<u><em>Let the number of children admitted be </em></u>x.<u><em /></u>

<u><em>And the the number of adults admitted be </em></u>y.<u><em /></u>

So, the total people enter the park:

x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\

Substituting the value of x from equation (1):

1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.

<u><em>Thus, the number of adults = 145.</em></u>

Now, to get the number of children by substituting the value of y in equation (1) we get:

x=333-y\\\\x=333-145\\\\x=188.

<u><em>Hence, the number of children = 188.</em></u>

Therefore, 188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine which of the following give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle
Masteriza [31]

Answer: 3, 4,5 and 17, 15,8

give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the measures of the legs and hypotenuse given to form a right angle triangle, they must be Pythagorean triples. A Pythagoras triple is a set of numbers that perfectly satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side². We will apply the theorem to each set of numbers given.

1) 3, 4, 5

5² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16

25 = 25

It is a Pythagorean triple

2) 4, 11, 14

14² = 11² + 4² = 121 + 16

196 = 137

It is a Pythagorean triple

3) 9, 14, 17

17² = 14² + 9² = 196 + 81

289 = 277

It is not a Pythagorean triple

4) 8, 14, 16

16² = 14² + 8² = 196 + 64

256 = 260

It is not a Pythagorean triple

5) 8, 15 , 17

17² = 15² + 8²

289 = 225 + 64

289 = 289

It is a Pythagorean triple

Therefore, 3, 4,5 and 17, 15,8

give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Find the 97th term of the arithmetic sequence
kozerog [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The 97th term in the series is 409</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 25, 29, 33, ....

The sequence represents arithmetic progression

In an AP, the first term is a1  = 25

The difference between two terms, d = 29 - 25 = 4

To find the 97th term,

By formula, a_{n}  = a_{1} + (n - 1) d

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

a_{97}  = 25 + (97 - 1) 4

= 25 + (96 * 4)

= 25 + 384

= 409

The 97 th term in the given sequence is 409.

What are the zeros of this polynomial and state their multiplicity at each <br> y=(x-5)(x+2)^2
N76 [4]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a polynomial are the x-intercepts of the function. To find them, we factor the polynomial and set each factor equal to 0.

This polynomial is already factored so set each to 0 and solve for x.

x-5=0\\x=5\\(x+2)^{2}=0 \\(x+2)=0\\x=-2

This means x=-2, 5. Each zero or root has a multiplicity - the number of times the factor occurs. This is also known as the exponent of the factor expression.

(x+5) occurs once since it has exponent 1.

(x+2)^{2} occurs twoce since it has exponent 2.

x=5 mult. 1, x=-2 mult. 2
