Answer:

s+a=150

3s+8a=1000

a=-s+150

3s-8s+1200=1000

-5s=-200

s=40

a=110

40 student and 110 adult tickets were sold

What is y greater then or equal to 2x on a graph

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The minimal number for the objective function P =20x+16y is: 780

The value of x then is: 15

and the value of y then is : 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of inequalities as:

y is less than or equal to 2x

i.e. y ≤ 2x--------(1)

x + y is greater than or equal to 45

i.e. x+y ≥ 45 ------------(2)

and x is less than or equal to 30.

i.e. x ≤ 30 -----------(3)

On plotting these inequalities we get the boundary points as:

(15,30) , (30,60) and (30,15)

( Since, the optimal solution always exist at the boundary point )

The optimal function is given by:

Minimize P = 20x+16y

Hence, at (15,30) we get:

P= 780

at (30,60) we get:

P= 1560

at (30,15) we get:

P= 840

This means that the minimal value of the function is 780

and the value exist at (15,30)

Given the parabola whose equation is , find the focus and determine if the parabola opens up or down.

ziro4ka [17]

The equation of a parabola is:
$y = ax {}^{2} + bx + c$
If a>0, then the parabola opens up;
If a<0, then the parabola opens down.
The coordinates of focus are:
$( - \frac{b}{2a} \: \: \frac{1 - b {}^{2} + 4ac}{4a} )$
