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

What is the complete factorization of the polynomial below x^3+2x^2+4x+8
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

c) (x + 2)(x + 2i)(x - 2i)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 + 2x^2 + 4x + 8

= (x^3 + 2x^2) + (4x + 8)

= x^2( x + 2) + 4(x + 2)

= (x + 2)(x^2 + 4)

= (x + 2)(x^2 - 4i^2)  ---------------------------->(i^2 = -1)

= (x + 2)(x + 2i)(x - 2i)

Find the vertex of the graph of f(x) = x2 + 4x - 5.
Fofino [41]
You can solve this in two ways.

1. Graphical. Plot the graph for x between -5 and 1 (see attachement).
The vertex of the graph is the peak of the curve, which has the coordinates x=-2, y=-9.

2. Analytical. Calculate the derivative of the function f(x)
\frac{df}{dx}=2x+4
Solve the equation:
2x+4=0
will give the solution x=-2.
Replace x=-2 in the f(x) function and you'll get the value of y:
(-2)^2+4 \cdot (-2)-5=4-8-5=-9

You get the same answer: x=-2, y=-9

So the answer is

-1/4x – 2/3x = -6 + 28
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

x= -24

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4x-2/3x= -6+28

add -6 to 28 but since 6 is a negative its subtraction

-1/4x-2/3x=22

multiply all by 12

-3x-8x=264

add -3x to -8x

-11x=264

divide both sides by -11

x= -24

Gina looked at the architectural plan of a room with four walls in which the walls meet each other at right angles. The length o
Lerok [7]

For a better understanding of the solution provided here, please find the diagram attached.

In the diagram, ABCD is the room.

AC is the diagonal whose length is 18.79 inches.

The length of wall AB is 17 inches.

From the given information, we have to determine the length of the BC, which is depicted a x, because for the room to be a square, the length of the wall AB must be equal to the length of the wall BC.

In order to determine the length of the wall BC, or x, we will have to employ the Pythagoras' Theorem here. Thus:

x=\sqrt{(AC)^2-(AB)^2}

x=\sqrt{(18.79)^2-(17)^2}\approx\sqrt{64.06} \approx8

Thus, BC\approx 8 inches

\therefore AB\neq BC and hence, the given room is not a square.
