Answer:

1022 of $10 tickets, 1326 of $20 tickets, 948 of VIP $30 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of each kind of ticket. We know there are the cheap tickets c, the medium tickets m and the VIP tickets v. Since 3296 tickets were purchased, then c+m+v=3296.

We also know that 304 more medium priced tickets have been sold then cheap tickets. We write 304+c=m.

Lastly, we know that a total of $65,180 was sold. We write 10c+20m+30v=65,180.

We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We substitute m=304+c into c+m+v=3296. Simplify and isolate the variable v.

c+m+v=3296

c+(304+c)+v=3296

c+304+c+v=3296

2c+304-304+v=3296-304

2c-2c+v=2992-2c

v=2992-2c

We will now substitute this into the remaining equation with our first substitution.

10c+20m+30v=65,180

10c+20(304+c)+30(2992-2c)=65,180

10c+6080+20c+89760-60c=65180

-30c+95840=65180

-30c+95840-95840=65180-95840

-30c=-30660

c=1022

This means 1,022 tickets purchased were $10 tickets. We substitute this equation back into m=304+c to find m.

m=304+1022

m=1326

This means 1,326 were $20 tickets.

Lastly we know 948 VIP tickets were bought because 1022+1326+948=3296

On Sunday, Sheldon bought 4 1/2 kg of plant food. He used 1 2/3 kg on his strawberry plants and used 1/4 kg for his tomato plant
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

a) 2\frac{7}{12} kg of plant food did Sheldon have left.

b) She need is \frac{43}{12} kg and she don't have enough to left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : On Sunday, Sheldon bought 4\frac{1}{2} kg of plant food. He used 1\frac{2}{3} kg on his strawberry plants and used \frac{1}{4} kg for his tomato plants.

To find :

a) How many kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left? Write one or more equations to show how you reached your answer.

Solution :

Sheldon bought plant food 4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2} kg.

He used strawberry plants 1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3} kg.

He used tomato plants \frac{1}{4} kg

Kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left is given by,

L=\frac{9}{2}-(\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{4})

L=\frac{9}{2}-\frac{23}{12}

L=\frac{54-23}{12}

L=\frac{31}{12}

L=2\frac{7}{12}

Therefore, 2\frac{7}{12} kg of plant food did Sheldon have left.

b) Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and his tomato plants one more time. He will use the same amounts of plant food as before. How much plant food will he need? Does he have enough left to do so?

Solution :

Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times.

i.e. Strawberry plants used is 2(\frac{5}{3})=\frac{10}{3} kg.

His tomato plants one more time i.e. \frac{1}{4} kg.

Total plant she need is \frac{10}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{43}{12}

As \frac{31}{12}

No she don't have enough to left.

What is the equation of the parabola with a directrix at y = 4 and focus (0, -4).
Svet_ta [14]
Given that the directrix is at y = 4 and the focus is at (0, -4), then the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, 0).
p is the distance between the vertex and the focus and between the vertex and the directrix = 4 and since the focus is below the directrix, p is negative, i.e. p = -4
Equation of a parabola is given by (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)
Therefore, the required equation is (x - 0)^2 = 4(-4)(y - 0)
x^2 = -16y
y = -1/16 x^2
