Mr and Mrs Smith buy tickets for themselves and their four children.

1 answer:

4 0

The cost of an adult ticket is £6 more than that of a child ticket, so will be denoted by c+6. Now, we are told that the cost of four child tickets and two adult tickets is £40.50, so we can put this in an equation and solve for c:
(c+6)+(c+6)+c+c+c+c=40.50
6c+12=40.50
6c=28.50
c=4.75
Therefore the cost of a child's ticket (c) is £4.75 and the cost of an adult ticket (c+6) is £10.75.

The top of a ladder is 4m up a vertical wall.The bottom is 2m from the wall.The coordinate axes are the wall and the horizontal

mash [69]

Answer:

Part a) $y=-2x+4$

Part b) The coordinates of the point are $(\frac{4}{3},\frac{4}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Find the equation representing the ladder

we have the ordered pairs

(0,4) and (2,0)

Find the slope

$m=(0-4)/(2-0)=-2$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-2\\b=4$

substitute

$y=-2x+4$

Part b) A square box just fits under the ladder.Find the coordinates of the point where the box touches the ladder.

If the box is a square

the x-coordinate of the point where the box touches the ladder must be equal to the y-coordinate

x=y

$y=-2x+4$

substitute

$x=-2x+4\\3x=4\\x=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=x=\frac{4}{3}$

therefore

The coordinates of the point are $(\frac{4}{3},\frac{4}{3})$

One serving of pretzels contains 1.5 grams of fat. That is 3% of the daily amount recommended for a 2,000 calorie diet. How many

OleMash [197]

Step-by-step explanation:

given that 1.5 gram of fat =3% of 2000 calorie diet.

Thus, 1.5 gram of fat contributes to 3/100*2000= 60 calorie of diet.

Generally 6% of the diet must be fat.(recommended)

Since, 1.5 gram = 3%

thus, 3 gram =6%.

A system of equations is given below:

algol [13]

The given system of equations is:

y = 4x − 3 ...(1)

2x + 7y = 41 ...(2)

Notice that the first equation is a solved equation for y. So, we can simply substitute 4x-3 for y in equation (2) to solve. This method is also knwon as substitution method by which we can plug in one equation into other equation.

So, if we will substitute y=4x-3 in equation (2) then we will get,

2x+7(4x-3)=41

Hence, third choice 2x + 7(4x − 3) = 41 is the correct answer.

Find m2ABC<br> (3x + 8)<br><br> (5x - 40)

Virty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 8) =(5x - 40)

Remove the brackets and replace 3x with -40 and -40 with 3x.

40 + 8 =5x - 3x (Remember that when you replace, the signs change from negative to positive and vise versa)

Solve for x. x= -24

Replace x with its value.

3(-24)+ 8= -64

5(-24) - 40= -160

If f(x)=sinx−1/cos2x, then limx→π2f(x) is equivalent to which of the following?

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given g(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x), we are to find the limit if the function g(x) as g(x) tends to π/2

Substituting π/2 into the function

lim x-->π/2 sin(x)-1/cos 2(x)

= sin(π/2) - 1/cos(2)(π/2)

= 1 - 1/cosπ

= 1- 1/-1

= 1 -(-1)

= 1+1

= 2

Hence the limit of the function h(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x) as x--> π/2 is 2
