Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) In this question we've been given "a", the leading coefficient. and two roots:

2) There's a theorem, called the Irrational Theorem Root that states:
If one root is in this form
then its conjugate
. is also a root of this polynomial.
Therefore

3) So, applying this Theorem we can rewrite the equation, by factoring. Remembering that x is the root. Since the question wants it in this expanded form then:

Answer:
It should be 46.20
Step-by-step explanation:
You're rounding to the nearest hundredth. So you have 46.1979 to start out with. Then you count 2 places so you end at the 1st 9. Well, behind the 9 is a 7 so you round up and get 20
Say the number of adult tickets is x. That means the number of student tickets is 71 less, making it x - 71.
We can add the number of student and adult tickets, because we know their sum is 479.
x + x - 71 = 479
Now, we solve for x.
2x - 71 = 479
2x = 550
x = 275
So, there were 275 adult tickets sold.
