Jump to problem # 2
# 1

Start with the given system of equations:

system%28x%2By=15%2C4x%2B3y=38%29



Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y.




So let's isolate y in the first equation

x%2By=15 Start with the first equation


y=15-x Subtract x from both sides


y=-x%2B15 Rearrange the equation



---------------------

Since y=-x%2B15, we can now replace each y in the second equation with -x%2B15 to solve for x



4x%2B3highlight%28%28-x%2B15%29%29=38 Plug in y=-x%2B15 into the first equation. In other words, replace each y with -x%2B15. Notice we've eliminated the y variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.



4x%2B%283%29%28-1%29x%2B%283%29%2815%29=38 Distribute 3 to -x%2B15


4x-3x%2B45=38 Multiply


x%2B45=38 Combine like terms on the left side


x=38-45Subtract 45 from both sides


x=-7 Combine like terms on the right side





-----------------First Answer------------------------------


So the first part of our answer is: x=-7









Since we know that x=-7 we can plug it into the equation y=-x%2B15 (remember we previously solved for y in the first equation).



y=-x%2B15 Start with the equation where y was previously isolated.


y=-%28-7%29%2B15 Plug in x=-7


y=7%2B15 Multiply


y=22 Combine like terms



-----------------Second Answer------------------------------


So the second part of our answer is: y=22









-----------------Summary------------------------------

So our answers are:

x=-7 and y=22

which form the point







Jump to problem # 1
# 2

Start with the given system of equations:

system%28-3x%2By=-4%2Cx-y=0%29



Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y.




So let's isolate y in the first equation

-3x%2By=-4 Start with the first equation


y=-4%2B3x Add 3x to both sides


y=%2B3x-4 Rearrange the equation


---------------------

Since y=3x-4, we can now replace each y in the second equation with 3x-4 to solve for x



x-highlight%28%283x-4%29%29=0 Plug in y=3x-4 into the first equation. In other words, replace each y with 3x-4. Notice we've eliminated the y variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.



x-3x%2B4=0 Distribute the negative


-2x%2B4=0 Combine like terms on the left side


-2x=0-4Subtract 4 from both sides


-2x=-4 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%28-4%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x



x=2 Divide





-----------------First Answer------------------------------


So the first part of our answer is: x=2









Since we know that x=2 we can plug it into the equation y=3x-4 (remember we previously solved for y in the first equation).



y=3x-4 Start with the equation where y was previously isolated.


y=3%282%29-4 Plug in x=2


y=6-4 Multiply


y=2 Combine like terms



-----------------Second Answer------------------------------


So the second part of our answer is: y=2









-----------------Summary------------------------------

So our answers are:

x=2 and y=2

Start with the given expression


Convert the expression from radical notation to exponent notation. Remember


Rewrite 64 as 64%5E1


Now distribute the exponent Now distribute the outer exponent 1%2F2 to each exponent in the parenthesis. Remember %28x%5Ey%29%5Ez=x%5E%28y%2Az%29

Now multiply the exponents

Reduce

Now convert back to radical notation


Take the square root of 64 to get 8


So

Answer 105962 by jim_thompson5910(28476) About Me  on 2008-06-14 14:03:12 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=# of orchestra seats and y=# of balcony seats

Since the "students sold 650 tickets", this means that x%2By=650. This is our first equation.


Also, since the total cost of x orchestra seats (at $7.50) and y balcony seats (at $3.50) is $4,375.00, this means that 7.5x%2B3.5y=4375. This is our second equation.


10%287.5x%2B3.5y%29=10%284375%29 Multiply both sides of the second equation by 10. This will make every number a whole number.


75x%2B35y=43750 Distribute and multiply.






So we now have this system of equations:

system%28x%2By=650%2C75x%2B35y=43750%29


Let's use substitution to solve this system.

Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y.




So let's isolate y in the first equation

x%2By=650 Start with the first equation


y=650-x Subtract x from both sides


y=-x%2B650 Rearrange the equation


---------------------

Since y=-x%2B650, we can now replace each y in the second equation with -x%2B650 to solve for x



75x%2B35highlight%28%28-x%2B650%29%29=43750 Plug in y=-x%2B650 into the first equation. In other words, replace each y with -x%2B650. Notice we've eliminated the y variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.



75x%2B%2835%29%28-1%29x%2B%2835%29%28650%29=43750 Distribute 35 to -x%2B650


75x-35x%2B22750=43750 Multiply


40x%2B22750=43750 Combine like terms on the left side


40x=43750-22750Subtract 22750 from both sides


40x=21000 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%2821000%29%2F%2840%29 Divide both sides by 40 to isolate x



x=525 Divide





-----------------First Answer------------------------------


So the first part of our answer is: x=525









Since we know that x=525 we can plug it into the equation y=-x%2B650 (remember we previously solved for y in the first equation).



y=-x%2B650 Start with the equation where y was previously isolated.


y=-%28525%29%2B650 Plug in x=525


y=-525%2B650 Multiply


y=125 Combine like terms



-----------------Second Answer------------------------------


So the second part of our answer is: y=125









-----------------Summary------------------------------

So our answers are:

x=525 and y=125



This means that the students sold 525 orchestra seats and 125 balcony seats

Let's graph the first equation 3x+%2B+y+=+-6. To do this, we must first solve for y



3x%2By=-6 Start with the first equation


y=-6-3x Subtract 3+x from both sides


y=-3x-6 Rearrange the equation




Looking at y=-3x-6 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-3 and the y-intercept is b=-6


Since b=-6 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -3, this means:

rise%2Frun=-3%2F1


which shows us that the rise is -3 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 3 and over 1



So starting at , go down 3 units


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-3x-6

So this is the graph of y=-3x-6 through the points and


---------------------------------------


Let's graph the second equation x+%2B+y+=+-4+. To do this, we must first solve for y


x%2By=-4 Start with the second equation


y=-4-x Subtract +x from both sides


y=-x-4 Rearrange the equation





Looking at y=-x-4 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-1 and the y-intercept is b=-4


Since b=-4 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -1, this means:

rise%2Frun=-1%2F1


which shows us that the rise is -1 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 1 and over 1



So starting at , go down 1 unit


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-x-4

So this is the graph of y=-x-4 through the points and



------------------------------


Graph of y=-3x-6 (red) and y=-x-4 (green)


So from the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (-1,-3).

Any rational zero can be found through this equation

where p and q are the factors of the last and first coefficients


So let's list the factors of -3 (the last coefficient):



Now let's list the factors of 2 (the first coefficient):



Now let's divide each factor of the last coefficient by each factor of the first coefficient









Now simplify

These are all the distinct rational zeros of the function that could occur

Once again, I'll do the first one to get you started (hopefully in the right direction)


Let's graph the first equation -x+%2B+y+=+-1. To do this, we must first solve for y


-x%2By=-1 Start with the first equation


y=-1%2Bx Add +x to both sides


y=x-1 Rearrange the equation





Looking at y=x-1 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=1 and the y-intercept is b=-1


Since b=-1 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 1, this means:

rise%2Frun=1%2F1


which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 1



So starting at , go up 1 unit


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=x-1

So this is the graph of y=x-1 through the points and



-----------------------------------------



Now let's graph the second equation x+%2B+y+=+3. To do this, we must first solve for y




x%2By=3 Start with the second equation


y=3-x Subtract +x from both sides


y=-x%2B3 Rearrange the equation




Looking at y=-x%2B3 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-1 and the y-intercept is b=3


Since b=3 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -1, this means:

rise%2Frun=-1%2F1


which shows us that the rise is -1 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 1 and over 1



So starting at , go down 1 unit


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-x%2B3

So this is the graph of y=-x%2B3 through the points and


------------------------------


Now let's graph the two equations together


Graph of y=x-1 (red) and y=-x%2B3 (green)


So from the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (2,1).

Since b=-6 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

Do you want to graph?



7x-7y=10 Start with the given equation


-7y=10-7x Subtract 7+x from both sides


-7y=-7x%2B10 Rearrange the equation


y=%28-7x%2B10%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7


y=%28-7%2F-7%29x%2B%2810%29%2F%28-7%29 Break up the fraction


y=x-10%2F7 Reduce




Looking at y=x-10%2F7 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=1 and the y-intercept is b=-10%2F7


Since b=-10%2F7 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 1, this means:

rise%2Frun=1%2F1


which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 1



So starting at , go up 1 unit


and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=x-10%2F7

So this is the graph of y=x-10%2F7 through the points and

So the y-intercept is (note: the y-intercept will always have a x-coordinate equal to zero)

d=sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29 Start with the distance formula.


d=sqrt%28%28-2%2Asqrt%287%29-4%2Asqrt%287%29%29%5E2%2B%2810-8%29%5E2%29 Plug in x%5B1%5D=-2%2Asqrt%287%29, x%5B2%5D=4%2Asqrt%287%29, y%5B1%5D=10, and y%5B2%5D=8.


d=sqrt%28%28-6%2Asqrt%287%29%29%5E2%2B%282%29%5E2%29 Combine like terms


d=sqrt%2836%2A7%2B4%29 Square each term


d=sqrt%28252%2B4%29 Multiply


d=sqrt%28256%29 Add


d=16 Take the square root of 256 to get 16


So our answer is d=16


So the distance between the two points is 16 units.

abs%28-4x%29=32 Start with the given equation


Break up the absolute value (remember, if you have abs%28x%29=a, then x=-a or x=a)

-4x=-32 or -4x=32 Set the expression -4x equal to the original value 32 and it's opposite -32




Now lets focus on the first equation -4x=-32


x=%28-32%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x



x=8 Divide







Now lets focus on the second equation -4x=32



x=%2832%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x



x=-8 Divide





So the solutions to abs%28-4x%29=32 are:

x=8 or x=-8

3%2B-6=-3 First add the x-coordinates together to get -3


%28-3%29%2F2=-3%2F2 Divide that result by 2


So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is x=-3%2F2


5%2B11=16 Now add the y-coordinates together to get 16


%2816%29%2F2=8 Divide that result by 2


So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is y=8


So the midpoint between the points and is

a) You are correct.

b) To find the fair price, replace the 2 with x and the -1.14 with 0 (since a "fair" price means that the player will break even) to get

400%281%2F1000%29+%2B+200%281%2F1000%29+%2B+50%285%2F1000%29+-x%28993%2F1000%29=0


4%2F10+%2B+2%2F10+%2B+1%2F4+-x%28993%2F1000%29=0 Multiply


17%2F20+-x%28993%2F1000%29=0 Combine like terms


+-x%28993%2F1000%29=-17%2F20 Subtract 17%2F20 from both sides


Multiply both sides by -1000%2F993 to completely isolate x



+x=850%2F993 Multiply


+x=0.8559919 Use a calculator to approximate the fraction


x=0.86 Round to the nearest hundredth


So the fair price of the ticket is about 86 cents.

Expected Value:

100%281%2F500%29+%2B+50%2A%282%2F500%29%2B0%2A%28497%2F500%29=%28200%29%2F500=2%2F5=0.4


So he expects to earn $0.40

However, since they paid $2, this means that

0.40-2.00=-1.60


So they really expect to lost $1.60


So the correct answer is C)

I'm assuming that order does not matter.





Since order does not matter, we must use the combination formula:


n%21%2F%28n-r%29%21r%21 Start with the given formula



19%21%2F%2819-7%29%217%21 Plug in n=19 and r=7



19%21%2F12%217%21 Subtract 19-7 to get 12


Expand 19!



Expand 12!




Cancel



%2819%2A18%2A17%2A16%2A15%2A14%2A13%29%2F7%21 Simplify


Expand 7!
%2819%2A18%2A17%2A16%2A15%2A14%2A13%29%2F%287%2A6%2A5%2A4%2A3%2A2%2A1%29



253955520%2F%287%2A6%2A5%2A4%2A3%2A2%2A1%29 Multiply 19*18*17*16*15*14*13 to get 253,955,520



253955520%2F5040 Multiply 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 to get 5,040



50388 Now divide



So 19 choose 7 (where order doesn't matter) yields 50,388 unique combinations

First FOIL %28+4+x+%2B+1+%29+%5E+2

%282x-4%29%5E2 Start with the given expression


%284x%2B1%29%284x%2B1%29 Expand. Remember something like x%5E2=x%2Ax


Now let's FOIL the expression



Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:


%28highlight%284x%29%2B1%29%28highlight%284x%29%2B1%29 Multiply the First terms:%284x%29%2A%284x%29=16x%5E2


%28highlight%284x%29%2B1%29%284x%2Bhighlight%281%29%29 Multiply the Outer terms:%284x%29%2A%281%29=4x


%284x%2Bhighlight%281%29%29%28highlight%284x%29%2B1%29 Multiply the Inner terms:%281%29%2A%284x%29=4x


%284x%2Bhighlight%281%29%29%284x%2Bhighlight%281%29%29 Multiply the Last terms:%281%29%2A%281%29=1


16x%5E2%2B4x%2B4x%2B1 Now collect every term to make a single expression



16x%5E2%2B8x%2B1 Now combine like terms


So %284x%2B1%29%5E2 foils and simplifies to 16x%5E2%2B8x%2B1

In other words, %284x%2B1%29%5E2=16x%5E2%2B8x%2B1








Now let's FOIL %282+x+-+4+%29%5E+2+



%282x-4%29%282x-4%29 Expand. Remember something like x%5E2=x%2Ax


Now let's FOIL the expression



Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:


%28highlight%282x%29-4%29%28highlight%282x%29-4%29 Multiply the First terms:%282x%29%2A%282x%29=4x%5E2


%28highlight%282x%29-4%29%282x%2Bhighlight%28-4%29%29 Multiply the Outer terms:%282x%29%2A%28-4%29=-8x


%282x%2Bhighlight%28-4%29%29%28highlight%282x%29-4%29 Multiply the Inner terms:%28-4%29%2A%282x%29=-8x


%282x%2Bhighlight%28-4%29%29%282x%2Bhighlight%28-4%29%29 Multiply the Last terms:%28-4%29%2A%28-4%29=16


4x%5E2-8x-8x%2B16 Now collect every term to make a single expression



4x%5E2-16x%2B16 Now combine like terms


So %282x-4%29%5E2 foils and simplifies to 4x%5E2-16x%2B16

In other words, %282x-4%29%5E2=4x%5E2-16x%2B16







So %28+4+x+%2B+1+%29+%5E+2%2B+%282+x+-+4+%29%5E+2+ now becomes %2816x%5E2%2B8x%2B1%29%2B%284x%5E2-16x%2B16%29


%2816x%5E2%2B8x%2B1%29%2B%284x%5E2-16x%2B16%29 Start with the given expression


20x%5E2-8x%2B17 Combine like terms



So %28+4+x+%2B+1+%29+%5E+2%2B+%282+x+-+4+%29%5E+2=20x%5E2-8x%2B17
