Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/632189: Yellows vary inversely as grays cubed. When there are 270 yellows, there are 2 grays. How many yellows are present when there are 6 grays? i got 810 and i was just wondering if it is correct

Whenever two things are in inverse proportion, when one gets bigger, the other gets smaller -- a lot smaller in this case because yellows vary as the cube of the greys. So one would expect that if the number of greys got 3 times larger, then the number of yellows would get 3 cubed or 27 times smaller rather than 3 times larger. Make sense?

Here's the algebra to back me up:



If yellows greys, then:



I'll leave it up to you to verify that



Now we have a formula that we can use for specific cases:



Plug in



I'll leave the rest of the arithmetic to you.

Substitute the coordinates of the given point into the given equation. If the result is a true statement, then the point is on the graph. Otherwise, not.

Quadratic_Equations/632201: Can someone please help me with the first five questions to ind of give me a start on how to dothis assignment....Pleas and thank you in advance.

Suppose you are managing sales of tickets for a large concert venue. In order to anticipate staffing needs in the box office, you must gather information about projected ticket sales for an upcoming concert. The expected number of ticket sales for each day x is given by the following equation:
tickets=-5x^2+18x+9

PROBLEM SHOW YOUR SOLUTIONS HERE
1. Does the graph of this equation open up or down? How do you know?
2. Describe what happens to the ticket sales as time passes.
3. Use the quadratic formula to determine the last day that tickets will be sold.
Note: Write your answer in terms of the number of days after ticket sales begin.
4. Will ticket sales be at a peak or a low during the middle of the sale? How do you know?
5. After how many days will the peak or low (middle of the sale) occur?
6. How many tickets will be sold on the day when the peak or low (middle of the sale) occurs?
7. What is the point (ordered pair) of the vertex? How does this point relate to your answers to problems 5 and 6.
8. How many real solutions are there to the equation ? How do you know?
9. What do the solutions to the equation in #8 represent? Is there a solution that doesn’t make sense? If so, in what ways does the solution not make sense?

It opens down because the lead coefficient is negative.

Ticket sales start small, get larger, then get smaller

Set the quadratic equal to zero. Use the quadratic formula to solve it. The integer part of the largest root is the last day of ticket sales.

Divide the opposite of the coefficient on the first degree term by 2 times the lead coefficient to get the value of x where the peak occurs.

Evaluate the function at the value of x determined above to find the number of tickets sold at the peak.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the day when the peak occurs. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the number of tickets sold that day.

There are two solutions to the equation. I know because the value of the function at the vertex is positive and the parabola opens downward, therefore the graph must cross the x-axis in two places. I also know that there are two solutions because the lead coefficient and the constant coefficient have opposite signs and the quadratic is not a perfect square.

The solutions represent the days when there will be zero ticket sales. The negative root makes no sense because you can't be selling tickets before you start selling tickets.

The very first thing is to learn to follow instructions. For example, go back and read the instruction for posting that describes the difference between a good question and a bad question, and then reflect on just how poorly constructed your question is. Also, get rid of the cutsey teeny-bopper texting abbreviations; show us a little respect by spelling out your messages and using complete, properly spelled, properly capitalized, and properly punctuated sentences arranged in logical sequence.

Gauss-Jordan was pretty clean on this one, while substitution was a little ugly. Regular elimination was reasonably tidy also. But my favorite, just because I can use the MDETERM function to get the determinant of a matrix that I have entered into Excel (this function is also available in the Numbers program on the Mac), is to use Cramer's rule.

Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier.

Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results.

Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y).

Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis.

Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x.

Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.
