Answer:

  • 321 adult tickets
  • 227 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This sort of problem is easily solved by defining a variable to be the quantity of the higher-value contributor. Here, we can let x represent the number of adult tickets. Then total revenue is ...

  6.50x +3.50(548-x) = 2881

  3x +1918 = 2881 . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  3x = 963 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1918

  x = 321 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  548-x = 548 -321 = 227 . . . . . .number of child tickets

321 adult tickets and 227 child tickets were sold.

If a quadratic equation with real coefficients has a discriminant of 3 then the two roots must be
lukranit [14]

In a quadratic equation

q(x) = ax^2 + bx + c 

The discriminant is = b^2 - 4ac

We have that discriminant = 3

If b^2 - 4ac > 0, then the roots are real.

If b^2 - 4ac < 0 then the roots are imaginary

<span>In this problem b^2 - 4ac > 0   3 > 0 </span>

then the two roots must be real

The graph shows the solution for which inequalities?
Helen [10]

Answer:

Inequalities are,

y ≥ 4x + 2

y ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solid yellow line of the graph attached passes through two points (0, -2) and (1, 2).

Let the equation of this line is,

y = mx + b

Slope of the line = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

                      m = \frac{2+2}{1-0}

                      m = 4

Y-intercept 'b' = -2

Equation of the line will be,

y = 4x - 2

Since shaded area is on the left side of this solid line so the inequality representing this region will be,

y ≥ 4x - 2

Another line is a solid blue line parallel to the x-axis.

Shaded region (blue) above the line will be represented by,

y ≥ 2

Therefore, the common shaded area of these inequalities will be the solution of the given inequalities.

If one root of the equation is 4x^2- 2x+p-4 be the reciprocal of other. then find the value of p​
SashulF [63]

Answer:

p = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one root of the eqn. be alpha . Other root is 1/alpha .

We know that product of both roots of an quadratic eqn. is c/a where "c" is the co-efficient of the constant  & "a" is the co-efficient of x^2.

Here "c" is p-4 & "a" is 4. And the product of roots is 1 ( ∵ prdouct of a number and its reciprocal is 1 )

\frac{c}{a} = 1\\=> \frac{p - 4}{4} = 1\\=> p - 4 = 4\\=> p = 4 + 4 = 8
