Answer: Child is $1 and Adult is $3, per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns, so we need at least two equations. Let C and A stand for the price of a ticket for a child and an adult, respectively.

The income for Monday and Tuesday can be calculated:

Monday: 16C + 42A = $142

Tuesday: 24C + 26A = $102

Rearrange the second equation to isolate one of the variables. I'll pick C:

24C + 26A = $102

C = ($102 - 26A)/24

Now use this expression for C in the first equation

16C + 42A = $142

16(($102 - 26A)/24) + 42A = $142

(1632 - 416A)/24 + 42A = $142

(68 - 17.3333A + 42A = $142

24.6667A = 74

A = 3 [The price of an adult pool admission is $3]

Use this value in either equation to find the price of a child's admission:

24C + 26A = $102

24C + 26*($3) = $102

24C = 102 - 78

C = $1 [The price of a child's admission to the pool is $1]

Check to see if these prices satisfy both equations:

Monday: 16C + 42A = $142

Tuesday: 24C + 26A = $102

---

Monday: 16*(1) + 42*(3) = $142 ? YES

Tuesday: 24*(1) + 26*(3) = $102 ? YES

<u>Child is $1 and Adult is $3, per person.</u>

75(1+0.2/12)^10*12 what is the answer

Alchen [17]

Answer:

545.119

Step-by-step explanation:

75 * (1 + .2/12)^10 * 12

75 * (1.016667)^10*12

Now things get a little tricky. What does 10*12 mean? I'm taking it to mean 120

75 * (1.016667)^120

75 * 7.268

Factor completely 8x5 2x4 4x2. Prime 2(4x5 x4 2x2) 2x(4x4 x3 2x) 2x2(4x3 x2 2).

Alecsey [184]

The complete factor of the expression $\rm 8x^5 + 2x^4 + 4x^2$ is $\rm 2x^{2} (4x^3 + x^2 + 2 )$ correct option is D.

<h3>What is a factorization?</h3>

It is the method to separate the polynomial into parts and the parts will be in multiplication. And the value of the polynomial at this point will be zero.

The expression is $\rm 8x^5 + 2x^4 + 4x^2$ .

To solve the expression properly we have to take common (2x²). Then we have

$\rm 8x^5 + 2x^4 + 4x^2\\\\2x^{2} (4x^3 + x^2 + 2 )$

The factor is $\rm 2x^{2} (4x^3 + x^2 + 2 )$ .

Find the longer leg of the triangle.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Choice A. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in question is a right triangle.

The length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) is given.
The measure of one of the acute angle is also given.

As a result, the length of both legs can be found directly using the sine function and the cosine function.

Let $\text{Opposite}$ denotes the length of the side opposite to the $30^{\circ}$ acute angle, and $\text{Adjacent}$ be the length of the side next to this $30^{\circ}$ acute angle.

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Opposite} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \sin{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{1}{2} \\&= \sqrt{3}\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly,

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Adjacent} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \cos{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\&= 3\end{aligned}$ .

The longer leg in this case is the one adjacent to the $30^{\circ}$ acute angle. The answer will be $3$ .

There's a shortcut to the answer. Notice that $\sin{30^{\circ}} < \cos{30^{\circ}}$ . The cosine of an acute angle is directly related to the adjacent leg. In other words, the leg adjacent to the $30^{\circ}$ angle will be the longer leg. There will be no need to find the length of the opposite leg.

Does this relationship $\sin{\theta} < \cos{\theta}$ holds for all acute angles? (That is, $0^{\circ} < \theta$ ?) It turns out that:

$\sin{\theta} < \cos{\theta}$ if $0^{\circ} < \theta$ ;
$\sin{\theta} > \cos{\theta}$ if $45^{\circ} < \theta$ ;
$\sin{\theta} = \cos{\theta}$ if $\theta = 45^{\circ}$ .
