Answer:

  6 children

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the group were adults, the total cost of tickets would be 8×$10 = $80. The actual cost was $80 -62 = $18 less than that. Since each children's ticket saves $3 off the cost of an adult ticket, there were $18/$3 = 6 children's tickets.

There were 6 children in the group.

_____

If you want an equation, you can let c represent the number of children. Then the cost of tickets is ...

  8(10 -c) +5c = 62 . . . . 10-c is the number of adults

  -3c = -18 . . . . . . . subtract 80

  c = -18/-3 = 6 . . . divide by 3

What is the equation of a quadratic function p with rational coefficients that has a zero of 3-i
Kryger [21]

Answer:

p = x² − 6x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots come in conjugate pairs.  So if 3−i is a root, then 3+i is also a root.

p = (x − (3−i)) (x − (3+i))

p = x² − (3+i)x − (3−i)x + (3−i)(3+i)

p = x² − 3x − ix − 3x + ix + (9 − i²)

p = x² − 6x + 10

You can check your answer using the quadratic formula.

x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [ 6 ± √(36 − 40) ] / 2

x = (6 ± 2i) / 2

x = 3 ± i
