1280*.8=1024
1024*1.09=1116.16
Tax is the last thing added, savings before tax since

1,280 - 20% = 1,024
1,024 + 9% = $1,116.16

John is selling tickets to an event. Attendees can either buy a general admission ticket, x,

Masteriza [31]

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of each general admission = $50

Cost of each VIP ticket = $55

Total tickets sold = 29

Total revenue generated = $1505

Let,

x represent the number of general admission tickets sold

y represent the number of VIP tickets.

x+y=29 Eqn 1

50x+55y=1505 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50

$50(x+y=29)\\50x+50y=1450\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(50x+55y)-(50x+50y)=1505-1450\\50x+55y-50x-50y=55\\5y=55$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

$x+11=29\\x=19-11\\x=18$

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

In the third degree polynomial function f(x) =x^3 + 4x, why are 2i and -2i zeros?

IgorC [24]

Answer:

We just need to evaluate and get f(2i)=0, f(-2i)=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $i^2=-1$ , then $i^3=i^2i=-i$ , and we can apply this when we evaluate $f(x) =x^3 + 4x$ for 2i and -2i.

First we have:

$f(2i) =(2i)^3 + 4(2i)=2^3i^3+8i=8(-i)+8i=0$

Which shows that 2i is a zero of f(x).

Then we have:

$f(-2i) =(-2i)^3 + 4(-2i)=(-2)^3i^3-8i=-8(-i)-8i=8i-8i=0$

Which shows that -2i is a zero of f(x).
