Answer:
26 rows
Step-by-step explanation:
this is like a rectangle length×width situation.
seats per row = s
number of rows = r
s × r = 884
s = r + 8
so, we can use e.g. the second equation in the first :
(r + 8) × r = 884
r² + 8r = 884
r² + 8r - 884 = 0
the general solution to such a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
x = r
a = 1
b = 8
c = -884
r = (-8 ± sqrt(8² - 4×1×-884))/(2×1) =
= (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 3536))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(3600))/2 =
= (-8 ± 60)/2 = -4 ± 30
r1 = -4 + 30 = 26
r2 = -4 - 30 = -34
a negative number did not make any sense for the number of rows, so r = 26 is our answer.
C is the answer. By only looking at the domain (the stuff on the right in the functions), you can see that the first equation has a hole at x=2, meaning it does not have a value here at x=2. When x<2, there are values for the 1st function. When x>2, there are values for the second function, as well as when x=2
Answer:
y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
y = kx
24 = 6k
24/6 = 6k/6
k = 4
y = kx
y = 4(5)
y = 20
