An audience of 450 people is seated in an auditorium. Each row contains the same number of seats and each seat in the auditorium

is occupied. With three fewer seats per row, and five extra rows, the same audience could still be seated, occupying all seats. How many rows does the auditorium have? ...?

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

SR = 450 
<span>S = 450/R </span>

<span>(S - 3)(R + 5) = 450 </span>
<span>(450/R - 3)(R + 5) = 450 </span>
<span>(450 - 3R)(R + 5) = 450R </span>
<span>450R + 2250 - 3R^2 - 15R = 450R </span>
<span>3R^2 + 15R - 2250 = 0 </span>
<span>R^2 + 5R - 750 = 0 </span>
<span>R^2 + 30R - 25R - 750 = 0 </span>
<span>R(R + 30) - 25(R + 30) = 0 </span>
<span>(R + 30)(R - 25) = 0 </span>
<span>R ∈ {-30,25} 
</span>
<span>Only positive numbers make sense in this context, therefore R = 25.</span>

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be r rows and s seats in every row.

An audience of 450 people is seated in an auditorium and each seat is occupied.

i.e. rs=450

or s=450/r

With three fewer seats per row, and five extra rows, the same audience could still be seated, occupying all seats.

i.e. (s-3)(r+5)=450

s(r+5)-3(r+5)=450

rs+5s-3r-15=450

450+5s-3r-15=450

Subtracting both sides by 450,we get

5s-3r-15=0

i.e. 5s-3r=15

5(450/r)-3r=15

Dividing both sides by 3 and multiplying by r, we get

750-r²=5r

r²+5r-750=0

r² + 30r - 25r - 750 = 0  

r(r + 30) - 25(r + 30) = 0  

(r + 30)(r - 25) = 0

either r+30=0 or r-25=0

either r= -30 or r=25

r can't be negative

Hence, number of rows in auditorium are:

25

For this we will use formula that is letting us to input: interest rate, starting funds, how often intereset rate is implemented, period we are observing. Formula looks like this:

M = S(1+ \frac{i}{cp})^cp*y

where M is money, S is starting funds, "i" is interest rate, cp is compounding period and y is number of years. now we express and calculated for both of them and get

M = 318,479 for Patricks investement.

M = 331,482 for Brooklyn.

Which means Brooklyn's method will pay of more.

Since we are not given any information about the proportion, we will assume the sample proportion to be 0.50

so,
p = 0.50
The Error is 10% percentage point. This means that on either side of the population proportion the error is 5% so E = 0.05
z = 1.645 (Z value for 90% confidence interval)

The margin of error for population proportion is calculated as:

E=z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  \\  \\ &#10; \frac{E}{z} = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  \\  \\ &#10;( \frac{E}{z} )^{2}= \frac{p(1-p)}{n} \\  \\ &#10;n= p(1-p)* (\frac{z}{E})^{2}  \\  \\ &#10;n=271

This means 271 students should be included in the sample

Jayden has some dimes and some quarters. He has at most 25 coins worth at least $4.60 combined. If Jayden has 7 dimes, determine
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is worth 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 10/100 = $0.1

A quarter is worth 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes that Jayden has.

Let y represent the number of quarters that Jayden has.

Jayden has some dimes and some quarters. He has at most 25 coins. It means that

x + y ≤ 25

The coins worth at least $4.60 combined. It means that

0.1x + 0.25y ≥ 4.6 - - - - - - - - - - 1

If Jayden has 7 dimes, then

7 + y ≤ 25

y ≤ 25 - 7

y ≤ 18

Substituting x = 7 into equation 1, it becomes

0.1 × 7 + 0.25y ≥ 4.6

0.7 + 0.25y ≥ 4.6

0.25y ≥ 4.6 - 0.7

0.25y ≥ 3.9

y ≥ 3.9/0.25

y ≥ 15.6

All possible values for the number of quarters that he could have would be

15.6 ≤ y ≤ 18
