Answer:

68 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where a is the number of adult tickets sold and c is the number of child tickets sold:

8a + 5c = 744

a = 2c - 12

Solve by substitution by substituting the second equation into the first one:

8(2c - 12) + 5c = 744

16c - 96 + 5c = 744

21c - 96 = 744

21c = 840

c = 40

So, 40 child tickets were sold. Plug this into the second equation to solve for a:

a = 2c - 12

a = 2(40) - 12

a = 80 - 12

a = 68

So, 68 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.

The function f(x)=(x-5)^2 +2 is not one-to-one. Identify a restricted domain that makes the function one-to-one, and find the in
Anon25 [30]

We have been given a quadratic function f(x)=(x-5)^{2} +2 and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

We know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

Further, we know that range of this function is [2,\infty).

If we restrict the domain of this function to either (-\infty,5] or [5,\infty), it will become one to one function.

Let us know find its inverse.

y=(x-5)^{2}+2

Upon interchanging x and y, we get:

x=(y-5)^{2}+2

Let us now solve this function for y.

(y-5)^{2}=x-2\\
y-5=\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\
y=5\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\

Hence, the inverse function would be f^{-1}(x)=5+\sqrt{x-2} if we restrict the domain of original function to [5,\infty) and the inverse function would be f^{-1}(x)=5-\sqrt{x-2} if we restrict the domain to (-\infty,5].

Explain the difference between equilateral and equiangular :) ​
mixas84 [53]

An equilateral polygon has congruent sides, like a rhombus.

An equiangular polygon has congruent interior angles, like a rectangle.

In other words: Equilateral doesn't necessarily have congruent INTERIOR angles while equiangular does have/need congruent interior angles.
