Answer: 400 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.

1000 tickets were sold to the seaport aquariums dolphin show. This means that

x + y = 1000

Adult tickets cost $10. Children tickets cost two dollars and a total of 5200 was collected. This means that

10x + 2y = 5200 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 1000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

10(1000 - y) + 2y = 5200

10000 - 10y + 2y = 5200

- 10y + 2y = 5200 - 10000

- 8y = - 4800

y = - 4800/ - 8

y = 600

x = 1000 - y = 1000 - 600

x = 400

Which is the equation of a hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)? y squared over 40 minus x square
N76 [4]

The equation of the hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0) is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

<h3>How to determine the equation of the hyperbola?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Directrices at x = ±2
  • Foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)

The foci of a hyperbola are represented as:

Foci = (k ± c, h)

The center is:

Center = (h,k)

And the directrix is:

Directrix, x = h ± a²/c

By comparison, we have:

k ± c = ±5

h = 0

h ± a²/c = ±2

Substitute h = 0 in h ± a²/c = ±2

0 ± a²/c = ±2

This gives

a²/c = 2

Multiply both sides by c

a² = 2c

k ± c = ±5 means that:

k ± c = 0 ± 5

By comparison, we have:

k = 0 and c = 5

Substitute c = 5 in a² = 2c

a² = 2 * 5

a² = 10

Next, we calculate b using:

b² = c² - a²

This gives

b² = 5² - 10

Evaluate

b² = 15

The hyperbola is represented as:

\frac{(x - k)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y - h)^2}{b^2} = 1

So, we have:

\frac{(x - 0)^2}{10} + \frac{(y - 0)^2}{15} = 1

Evaluate

\frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1
