Answer:

21 children

Step-by-step explanation: 6.50x+8.75y=259

This equation came from the cost of the tickets for the children and adults.

x+y=35

This comes from the group of 35 people that consists of children and adults.

We can use substitution to solve for x and y.

x=35-y

6.50(35-y)+8.75y=259

227.5-6.50y+8.75y=259

227.5+2.25y=259

2.25y=31.5

y=14

Now that we have found y, we can plug it into any of the equations to find x.

x+14=35

x=21

Therefore, there are 21 children and 14 adults in the group.

Use the Remainder Theorem to find the reminder when P(x)=x3+4x2+1 is divided by (i+1)x+2.
Alex777 [14]

First, rewriting a bit,

\dfrac{x^3+4x^2+1}{(i+1)x+2} = \dfrac1{i+1} \cdot \dfrac{x^3+4x^2+1}{x+\frac2{i+1}}

By the remainder theorem, the remainder upon dividing x^3+4x^2+1 by x+\frac2{i+1} is equal to

\left(-\dfrac2{i+1}\right)^3 + 4\left(-\dfrac2{i+1}\right)^2 + 1 = \boxed{3 - 6i}

which is to say,

\dfrac1{i+1} \cdot \dfrac{x^3+4x^2+1}{x+\frac2{i+1}} = q(x) + \dfrac{3-6i}{(i+1)\left(x+\frac2{i+1}\right)}= q(x) + \dfrac{3-6i}{(i+1)x+2}

33% of US adults say they are more likely to make a purchase during a sales tax holiday you randomly select 10 adults find the p
zmey [24]

Answer:

0.199

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 33% = 0.33

1 - p = 1 - 0.33 = 0.67

Using binomial distribution formula :

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

P(x = 2) = 10C2 * 0.33^2 * 0.67^8

P(x = 2) = 45 * 0.1089 * 0.0406067677556641

P(x = 2) = 0.19899346538663192205

P(x = 2) = 0.1989

P(x = 2) = 0.1990

$3.00/hour = ____ cents/minute?
jolli1 [7]
First, let's consider how many cents $3.00 is.
$1.00 = 100 cents, so $3.00 = 300 cents.
We have 300 cents an hour.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so divide 300 by 60.
300 / 60 = 5

$3.00/h = 5 cents/min

I hope this helps!
