Answer: 2 Adults 5 children

Step-by-step explanation

5.75(s) + 7.00

        1 ticket = $5.75

2 tickets = $11.50

3 tickets = $17.25

4 tickets = $23.00

5 tickets = $28.75

Only tickets that add  with an ending .75 can be substracted from 42.75 in order to get an even number since adult tickets are even number

 

1 ticket:    $42.75 - $5.75 = $37.00

5 tickets:  $42.75 - $28.75 = $14.00

9 tickets:  $42.75 - $51.75 = -$9.00

It is either 1 student or 5 students

If you divide $14 into 7 (price for adult ticket) the result is 2

Well this is a pretty fun problem that involves variables.
let's set some variables
s = students
a = adults
the total is
42.75
so let's solve for one variable
42.75 = 7.00a + 5.75s

let's just plug in a number for a I'm going to go with two and let's solve for s
42.75 = 7.00(2) +5.75s
42.75 =14.00 + 5.75s
28.75 = 5.75s
28.75/5.75 = s
5=s
so
so the amount of students and adults that can go is 2 adults and 5 students

Use Newton’s method to approximate the indicated root of the equation correct to six decimal places. The positive root of 3 sin
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x \approx 2.278863

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The positive root of 3\sin(x) = x

Equate to 0

0 = x -3\sin(x)

So, we have our function to be:

h(x) = x -3\sin(x)

Differentiate the above function:

h'(x) = 1 -3\cos(x)

Using Newton's method of approximation, we have:

x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{h(x_n)}{h'(x_n)}

Plot the graph of h(x) = x -3\sin(x) to get x_1 --- see attachment for graph

From the attached graph, the first value of x is at 2.2; so:

x_1 = 2.2

So, we have:

x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{h(x_n)}{h'(x_n)}

x_{1+1} = x_1 - \frac{h(x_1)}{h'(x_1)}

x_{2} = 2.2 - \frac{2.2 -3\sin(2.2)}{1 -3\cos(2.2)} = 2.28153641

The process will be repeated until the digit in the 6th decimal place remains unchanged

x_{3} = 2.28153641 - \frac{2.28153641 -3\sin(2.28153641)}{1 -3\cos(2.28153641)} = 2.2788654

x_{4} = 2.2788654 - \frac{2.2788654 -3\sin(2.2788654)}{1 -3\cos(2.2788654)} = 2.2788627

x_{5} = 2.2788627 - \frac{2.2788627-3\sin(2.2788627)}{1 -3\cos(2.2788627)} = 2.2788627

Hence:

x \approx 2.278863

Find the mean median and mode(s) of the data shown:
AveGali [126]
Median: 5 3/4 ( in a number line from least to greatest, the middle number)
Mode: 6 5/8 ( the number that appears the most [ex: 1,1,2,2,2,3,3 your mode will be 3])

Gas is being pumped into a tank the total amount of gas G after amount of time T is given by the equation G= 50+20t if the total
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

T = 40 (minutes?)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation G = 50 + 20T, where G = the total amount of gas and T = the amount of Time, we know that there is already 50 gallons of gas in the tank and that the rate at which it is pumped is 20 gallons per minute (I am assuming, though it is not stated in the problem).  Given that the tank holds 850 gallons, we can plug in the values into the equation and solve for the missing variable, T:

850 = 50 + 2T

Subtract 50 from both sides:  850 - 50 = 50 + 2T - 50 or 800 = 2T

Divide 2 from both sides: 800/2 = 2T/2

Solve for T:  40 = T

Two families are vacationing together, driving in separate cars. the harris family averages 45 mph, leaving hometown 6 minutes a
Kobotan [32]

Let x = amount of time the Arlen family must catch up to overtake the Harris family

In principle, the Harris and the Arlen family should cover the same distance. Since distance is speed x time,

45 (6+y) = 58y

270 + 45y = 58y

58y - 45y = 270

y = 270 ÷ 13

y= 20.77min
