First we need to find how far away the base of the ladder is from what it is leaning against. The ramp is the hypotenuse and the height from the ground in a leg. Let’s use Pythagorean’s theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitute

a^2 + (5)^2 = (20)^2

Solve for a^2

a^2 = (20)^2 - (5)^2

Solve for a

a = 5 √15

The slope will be rise over run

5/5 √15 = √15/15 or 0.258…

dybincka [34]

Explicación paso a paso:

Debemos buscar el costo de cada boleto y la cantidad de personas que deben ir.

Dada la función que da forma al comportamiento expresado como;

f (x) = (-2x) ^ 2 + 80x + 300 donde;

x es el costo de cada boleto

f (x) es el número de personas que deben ir

Para obtener x, usaremos la expresión;

x = -b / 2a

De la ecuación cuadrática dada, a = -2, b = 80 yc = 300

Sustituir;

x = -80/2 (-2)

x = -80 / -4

x = 80/4

x = 20

Por lo tanto, el boleto cuesta $ 20.

Lo siguiente es obtener la cantidad de personas que deben ir. Para conseguirlo, sustituiremos x = 20 en la expresión modelada como se muestra;

f (x) = (-2x) ^ 2 + 80x + 300

f (20) = (-2 (20)) ^ 2 + 80 (20) +300

f (20) = (-40) ^ 2 + 1600 + 300

f (20) = 1600 + 1600 + 300

f (20) = 3500

Por lo tanto, 3500 personas tienen que ir
