127 children and 264 adults swam at the public pool that day

Step-by-step explanation:

On a certain hot​ summer's day

  • 391 people used the public swimming pool
  • The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.25 for adults
  • The receipts for admission totaled $752.75

We need to find how many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that​ day

Assume that the number of children is x and the number of adult is y in that day

∵ x children swam that day

∵ y adults swam that day

∵ 391 people used the swimming pool that day

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 391

∴ x + y = 391 ⇒ (1)

∵ The daily price for children is $1.25 per child

∵ The daily price for an adult is $2.25

∵ The receipts for admission totaled $752.75

- Multiply x by 1.25 and y by 2.25, then add the products and

  equate the sum by 752.75

∴ 1.25x + 2.25y = 752.75

- Divide each term by 1.25 to simplify the equation

∴ x + 1.8y = 602.2 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to eliminate x

∵ (x - x) + (1.8y - y) = 602.2 - 391

∴ 0.8y = 211.2

- Divide both sides by 0.8

∴ y = 264

- Substitute the value of y in equation (1) to find x

∵ x + 264 = 391

- Subtract 264 from both sides

∴ x = 127

127 children and 264 adults swam at the public pool that day

The equation of a circle is ​ (x−11)2+(y+15)2=144 ​ .<br><br> What is the circle's radius?
yuradex [85]
The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.
To find the radius, we would find the square root of 144, which is 12.
r=12

REALLY NEED HELP:  The Venn Diagram shows a universe with 26 elements and two different outcomes: B and Y
Goshia [24]

Answer:

P(B|Y)=0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with a Venn diagram of a universe with 26 elements and two different outcomes: B and Y

And we are asked to find P(B|Y)

The formula for P(B|Y)= \frac{P(B\cap Y)}{P(Y)}

From Venn diagram, P(B\cap Y)=\frac{n(B\cap Y)}{26} =\frac{8}{26} =\frac{4}{13}

And P(Y)=\frac{n(Y)}{26}=\frac{8+12}{26}= \frac{20}{26}= \frac{10}{13}

Hence P(B|Y)=\frac{(\frac{4}{13})}{\frac{10}{13}} =\frac{4}{10}=0.4

A movie is 2 hours and 28 minutes long it starts at 7:20pm at what time will the movie end
umka2103 [35]
Movie starts 7:20 PM
2 hours = 02:00
28 minutes = 00:28

1.) 2 hours and 28 minutes = 02:28
2.) Movie starts 7:20 PM

You want to find out what time the movie will end

      07:20 PM (start time)
   + 02:28       (movie time)
-------------------------------------
      09:48 PM (movie end)

The movie will end at 9:48 PM

Answer:

In graph theory and computer science, an adjacency matrix is a square matrix used to represent a finite graph. The elements of the matrix indicate whether pairs of vertices are adjacent or not in the graph.

In the special case of a finite simple graph, the adjacency matrix is a (0,1)-matrix with zeros on its diagonal. If the graph is undirected, the adjacency matrix is symmetric. The relationship between a graph and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of its adjacency matrix is studied in spectral graph theory.

The adjacency matrix should be distinguished from the incidence matrix for a graph, a different matrix representation whose elements indicate whether vertex–edge pairs are incident or not, and degree matrix which contains information about the degree of each vertex.
