The problem based on condition are solved using the unknown variables. The number of tickets sold to the student are 120 and the number of tickets sold to the adults are 200.

Given information-

The price of the tickets for the basketball game for adults is $4.00.

The price of the tickets for the basketball game for students is $2.50.

<h3>Variables</h3>

Variables are the unknown and the value of the variables depend on the other variables in the equation. The above problem can be solved defining the variables from the given condition.

Let the total tickets purchased by the students is<em> x</em> and the total tickets porches by the adults is <em>y.</em>

As the total tickets sold for the game is $320. Thus,

\begin{aligned}\\&#10;x+y&=320\\&#10;y&=320-x\\&#10;\end                    .......1

Now as the total money with ticket selling is $1100. Thus,

2.5x+4y=110

Keep the value of u from the equation 1 in the above equation. We get,

\begin{aligned}&#10;2.5x+4(320-x)&=1100\\&#10;2.5x+1280-4x&=1100\\&#10;-1.5x&=1100-1280\\&#10;-1.5x&=-180\\&#10;x&=\dfrac{180}{1.5} \\&#10;x&=120\\&#10;\end

Thus the number of tickets sold to the student are 120.

Keep this value in equation 1,

y=320-x\\&#10;y=320-120\\&#10;y=200

Thus the number of tickets sold to the adults are 200.

Hence the number of tickets sold to the student are 120 and the number of tickets sold to the adults are 200.

Find the area of triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1), B (12,2), C (12,8). Hence, or otherwise find the perpendicular distance from
Lapatulllka [165]
<h2>The area of a triangle is =54 square units</h2><h2>The perpendicular distance from B to AC is = \frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1),B(12,2) and C(12,8)

x_1=2,y_1=1,x_2=12,y_2=2,x_3=12 and      y_3=8

The area of a triangle is= \frac{1}{2} [x_1(y_2-y_3) +x_2 (y_3- y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]

=|\frac{1}{2} [2(2-8+12(8-1)+12(1-2)]|

=|-54| = 54 square units

The length of AC = \sqrt{(x_1-x_3)^{2} +(y_1-y_3)^2}

                          = \sqrt{(2-12)^{2} +(1-8)^2}

                         =\sqrt{149} units

Let the perpendicular distance from B to AC be = x

According To Problem

\frac{1}{2} \times  x \times \sqrt{149} = 54

⇔x =\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units

Therefore the perpendicular distance from B to AC is = \frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units

B(n)=1 (-2)^n-1<br> What is the 4th term in the sequence
zzz [600]

Answer:

The fourth term of the sequence B(4) =-8

The sequence is 1,-2,4,-8...

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given that the sequence

     B(n) = 1(-2)ⁿ⁻¹

Put n=1

    B(1) = 1(-2)¹⁻¹ = 2⁰ =1

Put n=2

   B(2) = 1(-2)²⁻¹ = (-2)¹ =-2

Put n=3

  B(3) =1(-2)³⁻¹ = (-2)² =4

Put n=4

B(4) = 1(-2)⁴⁻¹ =(-2)³ =-8

The sequence

1,-2,4,-8...

The pair of points is on the graph of an inverse variation. Find the missing value.
LiRa [457]
The x-value increases by a factor of 5 from 1.6 to 8 between the two points. Because the variation is inverse, the y-value must decrease by a factor of 5 between the two points.

6/5 = 1.2

The second point is (8, 1.2), corresponding to the 4th selection.
